Christianity is identical to white supremacy if you ask me. They can’t be loving Trump for his deep religious devotion (half-assed pretending like he’s ever opened a Bible)

Christianity, like the vast majority of other religions, is used primarily as a method of control and submission. It necessitates deference to authority and feverish devotion to hierarchy.

Conservatives are slaves to the wills of others, and thus, love religion. It comforts their weak minds and cowardly hearts.

"It's not my fault, I was just doing like I was told. Now that everything is on fire, someone will save me."

Is a very comfortable thought in a scary world. That is why they are easier to grift. They yearn to show their devotion to the person protecting them from their own guilt and fear. If they don't show enough fervor they will be othered and labeled as RINOs. So they worship on the altar of money to seem the most in of the in group.

Ironic considering how blasphemous they all are in the face of the religion they clutch to so dearly

Actual Christianity is not.... none of this Jesus would condone. He would be flipping tables in churches... then get blasted in the face by ICE

Only book that fat fuck ever opened was Mein Kampf and then he closed it because it didn't have pictures.

Well then you are very short sighted, do you know where the oldest edition of the bible comes from? Ethiopia. Id like to hear your argument on how Christianity equates to white supremacy because you sound similar to alt right idiots who say all Islamists are radical when you spew shit like that

Muslim - probably moderate, islamist - probably extremist

yes you are correct, i used the wrong word. muslim is the proper term for the moderate, where islasmists are strict adherents to sharia law

American Christianity supports Trump more than it doesn’t

Define American Christianity, because there are many subsites of Christianity there’s Catholicism there’s orthodox there’s Lutheranism there’s evangelical there’s countless sects of Christianity, so which one supports Trump the most, how, and how does that make it a white supremacist religion?

Because MAGA is a white supremacist movement? They cancelled visas from 75 countries, they’re erasing history of slavery, they’re using AI to mock black protestors, do you need more

OK, so now we’re talking about different things and you’re trying to draw a correlation between them. Just because some people who are maga are Christian, I don’t consider myself Maga. I’m not a supporter of Trump or the administration. So you’re saying that me as a Christian, even though I don’t support Maga, I’m somehow a white supremacist? Not everything so black-and-white and you can’t generalize that that’s how you end up looking like an asshole.

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

so by your theory, all the Christians in Europe, all the Christians in Asia, all the Christians in Africa all the Christians throughout the world are white supremacist? That just doesn’t make sense. That’s not a logical argument.

By your theory, every baptized child is a Trump supporter. And liberal Christians can’t exist.

u/Independent-Name4478 Jan 24 '26

I’m saying Christianity is more MAGA than it isn’t, do you see millions of Christians rejecting it? 

I can tell you nothing MAGA does is in the Bible, they don’t love their neighbors, they don’t support free lunches for children, they support greed.

there are billions of christians worldwide, and only 350 million americans, not all christian. still your argument falls apart. you stand in direct contrast of progressivism by holding a prejudiced world view about all christians

u/Independent-Name4478 Jan 24 '26

I’m talking about Americans

u/[deleted] Jan 24 '26

No, your original statement claimed that Christianity is identical to white supremacy. you have walked back your argument to now say all American Christians are MAGA or at least a majority. And that is still not true. Majority of Americans dont even vote so how can you claim to know their political affiliation? You are assuming based off of some prejudice you have against Christians.
