American Christianity is the vessel of American Nazism
In 2015, I disliked Christianity, but harbored no desire to see it eliminated from society entirely. "An' harm ye none..."
Now, in 2025, I'm convinced that democracy can only survive in the long run if Christianity, as a social force, dies entirely.
All religion is partially to blame for the stupidity of our species.
Christianity is directly responsible for the fascism in America.
It’s inextricably linked.
If this offends you, go pray or something.
It's not religion to blame, it's the tribalism encouraged by most religions.
Religion provides an excuse to ignore logic.
Religion is to blame.
Art does not strictly adhere to logic and realism.
Ban art.
Everything must be facts and logic! 🤓
When is the last time war was waged over art?
Nazis literally sought the destruction of "degenerate" art and culture.
The fundamental flaw are the religions that have it baked into them that one of their core tenets is that they have to convert other people to their beliefs, by any means necessary. Otherwise, they have failed at their own religion. It's almost like an MLM scheme.
sounds like they're giving us the green-light to rebel.
The phrase "Appeal to Heaven" is a particular expression of the right of revolution used by British philosopher John Locke in his Second Treatise on Government. The work was published in 1690 and rejected the theory of the divine right of kings. In chapter 14:
And where the body of the people, or any single man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth, then they have a liberty to appeal to heaven, whenever they judge the cause of sufficient moment. And therefore, though the people cannot be judge, so as to have, by the constitution of that society, any superior power, to determine and give effective sentence in the case; yet they have, by a law antecedent and paramount to all positive laws of men, reserved that ultimate determination to themselves which belongs to all mankind, where there lies no appeal on earth, viz. to judge, whether they have just cause to make their appeal to heaven.
It's extremely generous of you to assume they know anything other than the most brain-stemmy calculous of "fabric word say heaven, it's talking about the thing I like."
This is the flag of the New Apostolic Reformation. (In its current use)
The group that seeks to usher in the second coming of Jesus fucking Christ.
We tried to warn.
Nobody listened.

Why is there a pine tree on it?
Marty ran over the other one
No more calls, please. We have a winner!
Evangelicals are such dupes, they things the political right cares about them when they only give a shit about their vote.
At the same time the political right are such dupes, they think the evangelicals care about them when really they just want too use them to jump start rapture.
It's like two guys trying to pickpocket each other so hard they end up wearing each other's pants.
Orginized religion needs to be banned
Hmm, a doomsday cult inching their way towards the nukes.
