Can we stop pretending the the right is a bastion of "Christianity?"

[Jarod]

I personally think of sin much differently. However, most in this particular nation still say they believe in this particular way. So, I work with what I have.

To me sin is self defeating, but in our current culture, it seems to get you ahead in the areas of money and power.

 

[Hume]

In context, and from the point of view of the people who lived then.

Just retroactively placing 21st century values on 12th century people teaches you nothing about history.

So, you are a time traveler. Have at it.

Ever consider that Christianity does not make you more moral than anyone else?

I believe that.

Other than the MAGAt dolts themselves, who is pretending that the right is a bastion of Christianity?

MAGA isn't a person, Nibble.

Sure, it may certainly be if they get to define what Christianity is
when they don't even have the aptitude to define "define."

Christianity is a belief in Jesus Christ, acknowledging him as the Son of God, and of His Sacrifice to save the world, and by trying to follow Christ's teachings.

Any Christians here want to challenge that definition? If so, let's discuss it. I don't entertain judgmental BS here.

But if being Christian means accepting New Testament values,

The Bible contains both old and new Testaments, Nibble. God does not change.

MAGAts are as far from being Christians as can possibly be.

MAGA isn't a person, Nibble.

As an atheist who accepts New Testament values as having genuine merit,
I'm far closer to being a Christian than any one of them.

You are not an atheist.

Satanist are generally disgusted by their values,

Not at all. They champion their values.

never mind TRUE Christians..

True Scotsman fallacy. You are not God.

Is this something that all billionaires do? Is that why you hate billionaires so much?

Nice pointing out his bigotry...and his jealosy.

The "CEO/worker pay gap" is not the problem.

"Ohhhhhh noooooo... there won't be any pie left over for meeeeeeeeeee"

He believes in zero sum 'economics', in other words, he completely denies capitalism and how it creates wealth.

Glad you are amused about the stupidity of the Right.

I am also.

We are one on this.

Let me repeat what you are asking about:

But that is the way things go with the American Right.

If there are any words there you do not understand, let me know and I will explain it.

False pretense fallacy. Mantra 1a. Lame.

Christianity has always been an authoritarian religion.

Considering that it considers God and Jesus Christ as the ultimate authority. You actually got something right for once, Hugo.

Sin is exclusive to Christian theology

I think you will find that you are wrong yet again, Hugo. Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, Shinto, western religions like the Church of No God and the Church of Global Warming, have sin as a concept.

Indeed. Like debating how many angels can dance on the head of a pin.

There are no pins or angels dancing on them in any Christian scripture, Hugo.

1. True, MAGA isn't a person.
MAGAts, the abhorrently devolved sub-species of maggots, aren't technically people either
in that they're devolved mutants.
but they're given the status of people.

That's precisely what's causing the collapse of our democratic republic, btw.

2. Any definition of anything that is offered by you is a waste of bandwidth.

3. You, as a diseased manifestation of corrupted protoplasm, are not the one who gets to decide what I am.

4. As for what the bible contains, if you've never used one under the short leg of a table,
you've never gotten any benefit out of one at all.

5. I'll defer to your definition of Satanism in as much as you most likely have the experience.
If you're not one yourself, those who spawned you had to be.

6. I am not God?
It's a matter of relativity.
Compared to you, I'm God's God.

Sin is self defeating. It does not get you ahead.

Like the thief, he thinks he is successful because he didn't get caught and made 100% profit.

But he only needs to be caught once. In some societies, he lost his hands. In others, he's locked up. In others, he's stoned to death.
Suddenly that doesn't seem so far 'ahead', does it, Pretender?

 

[Dutch Uncle]

White Christian nationalism is a political ideology.

Agreed. Worse, it's an authoritarian ideology wearing a mask of Christianity.
