Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

no one said all christians are the same - though the differences are nominal at best, in my opinion - we simply said that all christians are christians
You said you see no difference, then when someone points out the difference, you say they're not all the same. .........
Maga has warped into their own thing. You can even see it when the leader of Maga calls them [see article].
Or see articles how Maga people are leaving their church because the church is not extreme enough.
I said the differences are nominal, meaning they don't ultimately matter when you are living a life of magical thinking at the expense of those around you.
Yeah you tried to cover it up when confronted.
See again how Magas are leaving their churches because the churches aren't extreme enough.
I'm not covering anything up, and I don't feel there's been any confrontation.
I think christianity is frankly embarrassing, the fact that a judean blood-mystery cult has survived to the 21st century is again, embarrassing.
there's nothing unique about christianity, it came from a time and place that churned out these cults almost a means of necessity; it's all bronze-aged fan fiction and I don't care which one is your favorite when they are all so revolting and insulting to all it is to be human.
Now you're going on a weird rant instead of seeing the very, very apparent and very large difference between Christian and Maga ~~Christian~~ (we can drop the Christian part).
it seems like you're really not following, best of luck I suppose
Funny because I think the same thing. You seem to have no sense of extremism, no scale of how severe or mild something is.
k!
