You are so right! Look at the lengths the worst of the MAGA Govenors have been pushing for more and easier access to guns. Then add in MTG who said that there aren't enough guns in America and Barbara Boebart, who said Jesus should have been armed with an AR-15, it paints a pretty violent picture of their plans for the future!

When will people realize the Jesus was the most "woke" figure in history.

I have posted "Jesus was a liberal" many times on Yahoo and have gotten some real nasty replies, most from MAGA types, but some from some atheists as well, the term "sky fairies" is popular.

While I am not here to argue religion(s), or the existence of God/higher power, my point is to support yours. If someone accepts Jesus as their savior, how can they justify white nationalist behavior? If you don't believe that Jesus truly existed, can you at least accept the concept of Jesus and use it as a role model?

White nationalists aren't interested in what Jesus preached. They connect with the extensive history of Christianity being spread by the sword.

Also, self-styled "Christian nationalists" do not necessarily believe in any Gd beyond Donald Trump. It's about white male supremacy, not religion.

Yes, sky fairies. I have seen that often. I have had the argument as well and often point out that people need to stop painting every believer with the same brush. The first three Gospels contain much that could help if people would only practice what is attributed to Jesus.

In Calvinism a reprobate is a person who is predestined to damnation. Since we make up what God must be like, and everyone who believes in God has done this, I my God is one whoтАЩs love is so complete there is no one outside of it.

Boebert was probably referring to Jesus from the barrio who sells stolen weapons not the biblical Jesus!
