Anyone else horrified by the fact that the only two options are, “objectively monsters”, “Out of touch, out of ideas, out of hope, and out of talent for doing anything but begging for money” and there seems to be no funding for anything else?
Listen, I’m not a Christian, but I’ve known what I assume you would consider “Good Christians” and I have fewer issues with them than most who abuse the term. The problem is they’re a small sect, and most “Christians”, at least American Christians are Mammonites taking your god’s name in vain. You should be worrying about getting their attention, not ours. As long as theirs is the dominant faith of the US, the term Christian is only ever going to mean gratuitous cruelty, not the man described in the red letters in the bible.
I mean, at this point we could only hope they would start eating each other without their glorious leader. Not sure making a martyr out of him would have the desired effect though. Maybe if a Qannon or a Groyper got him.
The only people abducting people and holding them for ransom in Chicago and Seattle are ICE agents.
Umm… in what country is it people get kidnapped and ransomed every day? I mean, I’m not saying it’s not a thing, it does happen, but it’s actually pretty rare in most of North America. I mean, it’s pretty common in Mexico, but in most of the continent the most common kidnapping is a biological relative abducting a child.
Mammon was an early Semitic term for wealth and material success and also the name of a Canaanite God. “Christian” denominations that preach things like the prosperity gospel, who idolize grand displays of wealth, political power, corporate or nationalistic apologism and other heretical beliefs seem to have more in common with Mammon than Jesus.
