  He’s just explaining conservative ideology

  Seems clear to me that my explanation covers pretty well the reasons white power groups and orthodox/conservative Christians are right wing. They aren’t the same groups, necessarily, but they both want to conserve their respective hierarchies.

    You can’t call them “Christians”. They are just racists with a Bible in their hand.

        Yes and Russia and China are democracies.

        Learn your fallacies.

      I grew up in churches around religious people, you just described 99% of “Christians” in the American South.

      Moses recieved the 10 commandments from Mt Sinai, notably among them being “thou shalt not kill” immediately after massacring an entire army and then immediately went to war and wiped out an entire nation in a genocide.

      And thats in the Bible.

      The only good Christian, by Christians’ own admission, was Christ himself.

        I’m not gonna defend the entire Bible here but that story was about Amalek, a specific people not humanity in general. Also they had some voodoo stuff in there about them transforming into animals. It was kinda out there.

        The water of the sea drowning the Pharaos army chasing the israelites doesn’t seem like a moral dilemma to me.

        The not killing part refers to not just killing anyone or stealing their stuff etc. Actual self defense is fine.

        You can focus on the few war stories but I know a bunch of good Christians who have adopted kids, feed the poor and do a lot of charity stuff etc. The actual good stuff.
