You guys have "a Religion"?

[-] [email protected] 136 points 8 months ago

American Christianity. It's like Christianity but cutting out all the stuff that Christ guy talked about.

Christ: When someone slaps you turn the other cheek.

Conservative Christians: Instructions unclear, passes stand your ground law and turns their cheek onto iron sights and starts blastin.

Basically they just expect anyone they abuse to turn the other cheek instead of following the example themselves...

Trump is the religion. Next move is to deport anybody that doesn’t follow it.

It’s more like a cult

American religion is the worship of money. Sometimes it takes the guise of Christianity but eschews any of the real lessons.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I know people have said "money," but if there's anything akin to "a Religion," it's American Fundamentalism, the weird amalgamation of white supremacy, conspiracy theories, Christian fundamentalism, apocalypticism, colonialism, constitutional originalism, and American nationalism.

It's festered beneath the surface for decades, and Trump was the first to seize upon the true believers and become their defacto demigod. He even has actual pastors revering him not just for his rhetoric but as an actual messiah figure.
