    I like to think of it as the death throes of a dying “American Christianity.” The bible thumping, barely literate, “hands off my guns,” homophobic christian nationalism. I really REALLY hope it is at least.

      Living in the cousin-fuckingly deep south, it’s still alive and well here.

      Hopefully the rest of the the country is less fucked.

      Please send help.

    Like the video shows, the Christian Nationalists themselves are making this claim to feed their persecution complex.

    Religion is a losing influence, it’s a losing believe system no matter what. I say it’s time we wake up, grow up, and admit that God was always just a fabricated concept from primitive minds that needed to believe in something bigger to simply explain away the forces of nature.

    I don’t buy into the “in God we trust” concept. I don’t have to place my faith in a supernatural force. I trust in humans, every piece of advancement that’s come into being is because humans put their shoulders to the grindstone and made it happen.

    I trust in humanity. I trust in our abilities to produce, manage, and help (even if we often screw it up). No god can solve our problems for us, numerous though they may be.
