That nationalism is incompatible with Christianity.
Pushback. As an American, it’s offensively unconstitutional. As a Christian, it’s one of the worst things that could happen to the Church. As a liberal, I oppose all forms of nationalism.
Fucking Nazis have no idea what Christ stood for
You mean the sin of pride made manifest?
Don’t forget idolatry! Worshipping the flag and the country instead of God.
Or blasphemy. “Thou shalt not take the Lords name in vain.” isn’t about cussing. It’s about not using Gods Name to justify evil acts.
It just verifies religion as an agency of social control.
As with all agencies of social control, the more power it acquires, the more corruption emerges.
Religion is like taking a shit, keep it to yourself
As belivers Christ makes it pretty clear we shouldn’t be keeping it to ourselves. His last statement in the Gospel of Matthew is literally
Then Jesus approached and said to them, “All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20
From a man made book, us enlightened people want religion to be a thing of the past, where it belongs
I’m pretty sure you are in the wrong Lemmy Community mate
I am, but yall poke your nose where it doesnt belong too
