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! 🤓
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.
They both need to go, albeit for different reasons.
Uh oh, "removed"... Did you say something about that other religion? Mods on this site seem to have a real soft spot for that other religion...
I said it was badass when it was first used, was talking about George Washington and stuff from the one article that was posted. Hate what it means now.
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.

Thanks for sharing the info. Man that flag was kinda cool during the revolution and now it's cringe and stupid.
Yes, yes, but you see, Harris failed to rebuke Biden on the campaign trail, so. Obviously this needed to happen.
sounds like they're giving us the green-light to rebel.
pine tree flag
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."
Oh, have I EVER seen a better case of "barking at the wrong tree"!
Its current context is that of Armageddon.
The people who fly that flag these days are members of or supporting the end times accelerationist group, NAR, the New Apostolic Reformation.
The only thing they want to rebel against is life on earth so Jesus can come back.
See my post in this thread and search my other comments for NAR and 7 MM (7 mountain mandate).
This is a good one to start with: https://lemmy.ca/post/32347799/12610094
It is not promoting violence to say that their god will judge them.
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.
"They’re believers, Mr. Howard. Pentecostalist dispensationalists—they are saved, but they are surrounded by the unsaved, and they think their master is returning imminently, and anyone who isn’t saved by the time of his arrival is doomed. So they intend to save everyone whether or not they want to be saved..."
--Charles Stross, The Apocalypse Codex
I trailed off that quote because it's a spoiler.
Hmm, a doomsday cult inching their way towards the nukes.
Why is there a pine tree on it?
Marty ran over the other one
No more calls, please. We have a winner!
They do not know who they are trying to appeal to
Orginized religion needs to be banned
Not an establishment of religion at all. Everyone believes in heaven right? /s
Oh she’s a piece of shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Loeffler#COVID-19_insider_trading_investigation
Is this another case of accidentally leftist acts?
