Isn't the core tenant of Christianity about worshiping a supreme being that controls everything, knows everything, and sees everything? From that perspective, it must seem logical that government should be run that way too. Assuming you've been indoctrinated your whole life.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
They don't believe the religious horseshit they say, it's only being used to manipulate the stupid and gullible.
What is scarier is that some do believe. They believe that because they are "saved" that anything they do is righteous and anyone who does not share their faith is evil.
Mike Johnson definitely believes in Christian Dominionism:
While many Christians have applied this verse in the context of stewardship, Rushdoony taught that this creation mandate is really a dominion mandate, commanding humans to bring every sphere of society—as well as nature itself—into subjugation under Christ. In his view, Christ’s sacrificial death nullified the Fall and subsequent curse of Genesis 3 and enabled Christians to perfectly follow God’s law. Reconstructionism is a guidebook for Christians to reconstruct society according to Rushdoony’s understanding of Mosaic law. (Notably, his understanding differs dramatically from historical Jewish interpretations and includes stoning LGBTQ individuals.)
What would the perfectly reconstructed society look like? Rushdoony taught that it would provide man—specifically the male gender—with the greatest possible freedom, due to the absence of a government that currently limits that freedom. A federal government would no longer be responsible for laws that govern public safety, social programs (including public schools and welfare), or just about anything else.
It's basically an actual conspiracy.
I always wondered why it seemed like they want to lead us back to the dark ages.
They also have some stuff about not worshipping false idols, but that part of the religion appears to be getting ignored entirely.
One of the core tenant of Christianity is that God does and is everything you said (omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, and some more). God and only God, false idols are forbidden and God wiped humankind off the face of the earth the first time and let its people wander in the desert for 40 years the second time. The stance of Christianity is pretty clear on that aspect. Anyone that believes otherwise is a moron that most definitely never read the Bible, which is the majority of these fascist fucks.
🧑🚀🔫👨🚀 “always has been”
I'm more and more convinced that this will be when it happens. I believe that America will become a fascist state within my lifetime. What's scary is that it looks more and more likely to happen with this election.
Biden can't pull his head out of Israel's ass. He's going to torpedo us over those genocidal fucks. It was already looking shaky and he's just pressing down on the gas pedal.
