Political Memes

They're professional politicians, they know these things, don't be candid. But even if it wasn't the case, it would still be showing off, but for their colleagues. A way to posture righteousness just before doing evil things. They make people hate Christ while it's Mammon they serve.

Ask non-Christian people what is the Church about. They'll answer that Christianity means hate of homosexuals, submission of women, fight against reproductive rights, rejection of science and rational thought, and I could go on… None of this is biblical. Abortion is not evoked even once. Women are regularly put in position of power compared to their “normal” position in the societies of these times from Deborah who was describe as an head of state to the powerful women of the Acts). Wisdom — the equivalent of “rational thought” then — is highly praised. Homosexuality (when defined as respectful love between consenting adults) is alluded only once, and it's a positive allusion.

But these guys, they'll cherrypick, deform, read uncontextually to make the Bible a book of hate. They'll invent a doctrine of biblical inerrancy to make every verse count as much as all others, while the Bible warn against that, and drown the actual central message in details. They're hypocrites who fight everything Christ said: love, love unconditionally, help the poor, fight peacefully oppression. They are highly regarded by society as they do that, but received their reward in full already.

And meanwhile Christ is more and more rejected because of people like them. That's why I said that they must put Christ's name on their lips, but it's Mammon they're praying.
