Of course, everyone will be judged eventually. Pretty sure it says that in the Bible too.
Comment on Jesus hates American "Christians"
CatDogL0ver@lemmy.world 2 days agoActually American Americans are the “Pharisees”. They just hate to be called to be called out by Jesus.
They act like Pharisees. They talk like Pharisees. I hope they will be judged like Pharisees.

Does anyone actually think these pseudochristians are actually pure in any way?
pachrist@lemmy.world 2 days ago
They do. That’s why they’re so hateful to anyone who contradicts them.

I figured most of them for the “religion is a useful tool to manipulate others” instead of actually believing in any sort of purity - other than rationalizing their shitty treatment of others.
pachrist@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I think the rationalization of shitty behavior is key. Everyone is the hero of their own story, and there is no end to the mental gymnastics or cognitive dissonance people will go through to remain the hero.
It’s almost Occam’s Razor. It’s easier to believe someone is a selfish hypocrite than some kind of moral-less grifter.
That’s not to say there aren’t grifters, just that the vast majority have drunk the kool-aid and keep drinking it because of a warped sunk-cost fallacy scenario. If I stop drinking, I have to admit I was bad and wrong, so I double down and stay the good guy.
