#Theocracy

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Mike Johnson/DJT is a perfect example of why I no longer believe in the church . Self righteous people like him hide behind the shield of religion and do everything totally opposite to what God and religion stood for. Be careful of what you’re willing to tolerate. Where it starts isn’t where it ends.
Friends, if someone tries to engage with you or debate you ... and they claim that there are no MAGA Christians or that Christian Nationalism doesn't exist ... do not engage with them. You'll be arguing with someone who has the same grasp of facts and reality that a child does.”

One of the premier locations amidst the woods to take in Mackinac Island and the Mackinac Bridge in October. What a serene and picturesque day to simply sit and absorb the surroundings with my wife and son.

Mid September and a vibrant splash of color here in northern Michigan as I sit here at the campsite indulging in the gentle breeze and serene water beyond the trees. Truly something extraordinary.

No Kings Protest Muskegon, Michigan

“What does America sound like? It sounds like ...
The meaty thwack of a baseball against a bat.
The sparkling crackle of fireworks.
The tinny soundtrack at the drive-in theater.
The low woof of a tear gas grenade.
The terrified screaming of brown children.”

“IN AMERICA, it is clear:

Evangelicalism
is no longer Christianity.

is no longer the Way of Christ.”

“Two of the defining moments that began my moving away from Christianity “Evangelical Christianity” was the sheer exhaustion of feeling like a victim all the time, as if our world was constantly out to get us Christians and being deeply tired of treating anything outside those beliefs as a threat.”

“We must respect every individual’s freedom to believe as they choose, but that does not mean we’re obliged to respect the belief, religion, or faith itself.

I personally do NOT respect Christianity, Islam & most religions, but I do respect the universal morals contained within.”

Church Is Canceled

“When Christians demonize and harm the immigrant, the poor, the sick and the marginalized with oppressive laws, you don’t need to tell me about your religious beliefs. (See Alt)
#photography

You’ve already shown me what they are by how you’re mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the sick and the marginalized.
Cruelty isn’t just a fruit of many Christians… it’s a goal of Christian, adherents see themselves as proxy Kings for god, and lust for the power to act as such.
Want to know one of the reasons 84% of the American Evangelical Church has stood beside Trump, so strongly? Because most of them, like Trump, treat the people as mascots. Mascots that can be labeled on a whim as the “good” or “bad .”

Vile.
