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.

Except he was a radical reformer who created an entirely new covenant that reduced the 10 Commandments to 2.

MAGA Requirements:
1. Loud, pious, extremely public devotion to Jesus
2. Blinding hatred for everything Jesus actually taught.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

“Slut shaming is social control of female sexuality, admonishing or attacking women over how they dress, how they love, what they believe, & is typically perpetrated by LOW FREQUENCY men who crave female sexuality - as long as they can control it.”

Fugelsang talks about the co-opting of religion by the right. I think this could be Donald Trump kryptonite and break the cult if enough politicians are willing to talk about it. A majority of people aren't devout and those who are don't support Christofascism
