“This is how we should order our lives together,” he said. “And frankly, yes, we are going to impose it upon you. If you don’t like it, I’m sorry, but this is good and right and just if it lines up with God’s standards, and I am going to enforce my morality on you in as much as our morality is God’s morality.”
“You should always check yourselves,” he continued. “Do I believe what God believes? Am I defending what God says is good?”
“And if it is, then you should have the courage to say, ‘This is how we’re going to run our town, this is how we’re going to run our county, this is how we’re going to run our state, and this is how we should run the United States of America by legislating the morality that we can find in the Bible.'”
Oh, not these values.
Right wing American politics has made a mockery out of Christianity.
So, they’re the pharisees?
Unironically how these people read that list:
Read: the poor in spirit die first.
Read: We will kill those who mourn
Read: Once the greenhouse gasses are no longer tolerable. We going to Mars, suckas
Read: killing those who oppose me is what is righteous.
Read: we don’t even bully the Mexican guy on our squad, he’s pretty cool guy
Read: white
Read: kill those who oppose you until there is no more opposition and you will become Jesus.
Read: God needs me to kill ANTIFA
Read: you have my permission to kill the infidels.
Read: don’t question your mission. You and all your pedo friends can fuck teenage girls or something, after you die for this cause.
…yep. those are them alright.
