    not to be that guy: but that’s a cross not a crucifix. A Crucifix contains the crucified Christ hanging on the cross. Most Protestants, as most Americans are, don’t utilize the crucifix in anyway.

    The worst people I’ve ever met in my life wore a cross.

    There is no hate like Christian love.

    The most effective way to damage Christianity is to read the parts of the Bible they don’t talk about

      I don’t know, part of believing in religion is doublethink. Many religious will say “just don’t think about it” when presented with contradicting information. That’s why religion encourages suppression of free thinking.

      I was raised Southern Baptist, did the youth group trips and church services. Eventually decided I’d jyst read the Bible cover-to-cover. Got to the end of that book, thought about it for a while, and came to the conclusion it was all bullshit.

    Any “Christian” who isn’t calling them out loudly is complicit and deserves to have their religion dragged through the mud.

    Anyone who dismisses them by saying “oh they’re not ‘real’ Christians” is deluding themselves and is carrying water for fascism.

    That’s not a crucifix, it’s just a cross. Point still stand though. Fuck Bondi.

    Is it actually damaging…? That is like saying “the most effective way to damage MAGA is Trump lying”.

      Trump is like sponge to whomever happens to be standing next to him in the moment. And political acts follow. It explains his rxn to Momdani, regardless of how pretty and charismatic Momdani is. Flip flopping on Russia-Ukraine. Suddenly placing sanctions on a country he doesn’t care about (first term) because Ivanka showed him pics of dead refugee children.

      Right now, it’s Miller and Vought.

      We all knew he was easy to influence but it’s worse than we’d ever originally imagined. Worse now with his cognitive decline. Trump has no agenda. He’s just an empty shell of a megaphone for the person standing next to him.

    If the losers could wear a swastika too, they would. These asswipes remind of the photos showing German Protestant and Catholic priests wearing a cross and swastika urging the young men to their duty for God and the fucking Nazis.
