That was an amazing share. Thank you!
I’m so glad to feel less lonely in this realization.
To expand on this for others:
We’re only mythologically a “Christian nation” insofar that a state sponsored religion keeps masses in line like a shared and encouraged interest in football.
As a country, the U.S’s philosophies are basically the antithesis of the entire Sermon on the Mount.
The really fun hole in that State-sponsored claim is that very same sermon where Jesus Christ, in the flesh, warns against “taking oaths.” Because being torn between “sinning under orders” and going back on your word is a nasty business. See Also “…But I say, love your enemies.”
Yet our empire is thrilled to have children blindly “pledging allegiance” to a flag, and any silly thing it might compel them to do, and people idolize this flag (idolatry) and conflate the cross with glorification of warfare. . . It’s amazing what people can justify if they keep their Bibles shut.
And the whole world is watching.
To rest my case:
Remember when Lucifer tempted Jesus with “authority over all the nations of the world.” Heh, we must remember it’s not a temptation unless the tempter actually possesses the asset in question.
The “no, they’re not real Christians” assertion holds plenty of water here, and all the God-bandying by these stuffed suits and their mindslaves is a big psy-op that’s been conducted in various forms throughout history whenever church and state get snuggly.
It’s made infinitely clear and simple what is expected of a follower of Christ, so that we may see who bears good fruit, and who makes the world a sad, miserable place with their influence.
