      Let’s not forget they were also religious.

      I’d rather scam them, than let trump bleed them dry.

        Tell me you’ve never known a religious person outside your shitty family.

        A lot of atheists voted for Trump, and a lot of religious people voted against him.

          What’s up with your fixation about whether people have known religious people?

          I was once religious. I knew religious people outside my shitty family (from church).

          “A lot of atheists voted for Trump”

          “A lot of religious people voted against him”

          Neither of these points really identify my issue, which is:

          “the vast majority of people who voted for Trump were religious”

            The vast majority of Americans are religious, and even the ones that mark their religion as None mostly believe in God.

            Congratulations, you have an issue with Americans in general. They still don’t deserve to be scammed.

      have you met a single one of those Christians fundamentalists old people?

      steal their organs while they’re at it, nothing of value was lost.

      they weren’t conned into being despicable christofascists, they are easy to con because they are idiotic christofascists.

          Given that those evangelists are the polar opposite of whatever Jesus said. I’d say you’re right, they didn’t count as religious people

            Man I don’t care what Jesus said, I don’t believe in that stuff, but I’ve known enough religious people to know that they’re not all pieces of shit and they don’t deserve to be stolen from or treated as less than human.

              I am not talking about your buddhist neighbour, or your jewish co-worker. we are referring to the evangelical Christo fascist maga base. They are the scum of the earth, I am sure even Jesus would not mind yeeting them into the sun.

              They are the reason so many Americans are now actually treated less than humans, so yes, if anyone deserves to be treated less than human is them. because they obviously believe that whatever is going on in this country is correct. so fuck them all. and I hope they are right in the existence of hell, because they all deserve to go there.

                So first, the article is about churches generally, not just the worst people you know. Lots of old Presbyterians and AME folks at the anti-Trump rallies.

                Second, idk, let go of the hate. I get it, I really do, I spout off myself a lot, but it’s poison. See how it warps and twists others, but don’t think it does any less to you because yours is righteous.

                  There was a recent story, about a white woman with a baby asking for food. She said she asked 7 churches, 6 white churches said no, an immigrant church offered her food, a mosque offered her food, and a temple offered her food.

                  White Christianity in America is a cancer, even the white liberal ones.
