      For some, maybe. I fear though, that God isn’t a real force in most of their lives except when they can wield God as a weapon against the vulnerable

        What else do you need a God for if not to grant divine authority to dehumanize anyone or anything you don’t like?

      Maybe, but god damn I would hate for the Democratic Party to get taken over by religious psychopaths.

    once in an onion (satirical news) video I responded to an idiotic trump supporter in the comments with something along these lines using Google translate:

    “[English] Yes, MAGA 2024 he is our savior.
    [Russian] See my brothers this one has already been fooled. Soon he will worship the Russian empire.”

    Didn’t get a reply, all my trolling for nothing 🥲

      It’s almost like there are some people who have the capacity to speak multiple languages 🤯

    I know everyone here loves being edgy, but idolatry is forbidden, and Sodom and Gomorrah was about not following God’s word. (PS I am angry the homophobes have co-opted a story about Charity and Faith)

      What about all the numerous catholic saints that are idolized af? They literally have idols of them all over churches and homes.

        Growing up Baptist, this was one of the reasons they differentiated themselves from Catholics.

      Are you saying that because idolatry is forbidden no Christian could engage in it, even unwittingly? Because it sounds like that is what you’re saying and it’s pretty obvious that isn’t true. Tons of people who call themselves Christians idolize the shit out of Trump for some insane reason I’ll never understand.
