Went looking for @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's new book and this was the second result on Amazon. I'm sure every page of it as written by an honest to god person and not an AI at all. It feels particularly scammy though, like one of those fake abortion counseling clinics run by churches.

Screenshot of Amazon search result with a book titled "JOHN FUGELSANG AND THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE: Unpacking Extremist Politics, Religion, and the Urgent Struggle for ...
JOHN FUGELSANG AND THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE: Unpacking Extremist Politics, Religion, and the Urgent Struggle for a Compassionate America" which will show up any time anyone looks for John Fugelsang's actual book entitled "Separation of church and hate"

Believing that easier access to guns
leads to less gun violence
is like believing less access to birth control
leads to fewer abortions

Trump is illegally bombing boats w/zero evidence in foreign waters.

He just bombed Iran after tearing up a peace deal Iran was complying with.

He’s down w/ethnic cleansing of Gaza.

He’s deploying armed troops into US cities & lying abt why.

He doesn’t care about “peace.”
He cares about a prize.

Michael B @dunsmuir1952.bsky.social · 1d

So if Trump brings peace to the Middle East, all you’re thinking is that he did it to win the Nobel Peace Prize? You don’t know that. Maybe it means more to him that he accomplished peace and that it’s part of his legacy, and the Nobel is secondary. But it’s amazing how you nullify the historic

If you think Trump cares about peace
more than Trump cares about Trump;
wait for his reaction
when someone else wins the Nobel Prize.

Extreme conservative religious leaders
aligning w/authoritarian government

That’s dialogue from the character of a king in a story he’s telling. Context matters. I wrote a book about it.

The actual teachings of Jesus and conservative Christianity are two very different things.

With a LOT of Biblical evidence, @johnfugelsang.bsky.social’s new book demonstrates how Christianity “has been hijacked” by @GOP right-wingers and Christian nationalists whose ideology actually runs counter to the teachings of Jesus, siding with hatefulness.
