You guys have "a Religion"?

[-] saltesc@lemmy.world 126 points 8 months ago

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

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 52 points 8 months ago

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.

[-] ZILtoid1991@kbin.social 25 points 8 months ago

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

Yes. Money.

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

Let this be a reminder to anyone who hasn't liked Biden's handling of the Gaza situation that this is the alternative.

[-] SquishyPandaDev@yiffit.net 26 points 8 months ago

Bro, just because Trump is worse than Biden doesn't make Biden immune to criticism

[-] BraveSirZaphod@kbin.social 74 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Sure, criticize away, and you absolutely should. It's just important to not get so carried away that you wind up contributing to an outcome that you openly know to be objectively worse at the ballot box.

How fucking Christian of him.

I almost wish religion was real, just so Jesus could come back and start smiting Trump and the rest of these fake Christians.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 21 points 8 months ago

While I agree with the sentiment, we should take a step back.

"Our" religion!? And what would that be? Pretty sure the founding fathers made it damn clear that there was no official religion and we were to separate church and state.

I'm so sick of these Christian fascists that see the handmaid's tale as something to aspire to and the grifting assholes that will drive that into existence for their own personal gain...

I say if we deport anyone it's the people who start forcing their religion on the rest of us.

The religion he's talking about isn't Christianity. Trump wouldn't recognize Jesus Christ if he smacked him in the face. He's talking about Trumpism.

Can’t wait to see North Americans come back to Europe to runaway from religious persecution.

Welcome to the Old World my friends !

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago

Sorry, we all were educated by the American school system and thus have no useful skills or knowledge Europeans need.

[-] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Also we're not quite sure where it is.

What you imply is a common misconception. Puritans did not flee to America in the early modern period because they were religiously persecuted. They fled to America because they were not allowed to religiously persecute others anymore. They were scolded because of their religious intolerance not because of their religion per se.

[-] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Puritans. Yes.

Depends on if you mean Puritans in Massachusetts, or Quakers in Pennsylvania.

Can I ban republicans because they don't like my religion?

[-] rustbuckett@lemmings.world 43 points 8 months ago

Hasn't anyone noticed that he is the actual embodiment of the 7 deadly sins?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 31 points 8 months ago

I've pointed that out many times.

Anger, Envy, Vanity, Lust, Avarice, Gluttony, Sloth- he embodies them all.

"Our?" His religion is money, so uh, ban immigrants who don't like money?

Edit: I'm 30 minutes late, flyingsquid got to religion=money first

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

I'm guessing that Trump doesn't even understand not liking money.

[-] fosforus@sopuli.xyz 37 points 8 months ago

What is Trump's religion? I mean really?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 46 points 8 months ago

He worships himself.

He's very likely the first truly Atheist President this country has had, which makes me mad that it was a piece of shit like him and not a better representative, someone who was an Atheist for intellectual reasons and not because they're just a massive narcissist.

Trump is literally an atheist who has been caught mocking the faith of his own followers in private

I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.

Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of my brethren you did it to me.

It's one of the most damning indictments that their religion doesn't change who they really are.

[-] holiday@lemmy.world 20 points 8 months ago

I say "Christo!

You say "Fascist!"

He knows he's not shitting in the White House ever again.

[-] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago

He can vow all he likes, but 1. he's a lying sack of shit and 2. he's never getting anywhere near the White House again, so who cares what he says?

[-] aseriesoftubes@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago

Man, I wish I shared your optimism. The next election is going to come down to a few thousand votes in a handful of states, thanks to our backward electoral system.

Capitalism? Exactly what religion is this dipshit talking about?

"The Constitution?" trump replied. "Never seen her before. Not my type. Bigly ugly."

[-] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

Fun fact, because he campaigned on a "Muslim travel ban", courts slapped down the ban when his administration tried to argue it wasn't religious based. It eventually went to the supreme court and I think was partially enacted by dropping some countries.

Soooo if you ever wanted proof that he doesn't learn from his mistakes...

[-] 21Cabbage@lemmynsfw.com 15 points 8 months ago

Oh look at that he said the quiet part out loud again.

[-] badaboomxx@lemmy.world 14 points 8 months ago

Wait, the griftee who doesn't even know how to hold a Bible, let alone reading it, is saying that.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 11 points 8 months ago

Stop giving the guy a platform for whatever bullshit he's going to say and forget. He wants this message to spread.

Focus on what he can't control that tarnishes his reputation instead like his legal woes.
