This has to be a cult like thing right? Collectivism, idealization of a power that is theirs and only theirs by divine right, the loss of the self, charismatic leader, etc etc.

This is disturbing to watch… Christofascist indoctrination ceremony
- Thread starter Kernel
- Start date
As a non-American, this is just USA, USA, USA to me! Evangelical Christian fascists/white supremacist terrorists are the bread and butter of the GOP. This is just some televangelical conference where they're doing their silly fascist prayer. GOP/Republicans believe in this. It's why Roe Vs Wade was overturned among many other things done away with or about to. They actively want a civil war. Then you get liberals wanting to tone police others for wanting to fight for their basic rights, don't protest too hard, don't use violence because all you have to do is vote. Act civil and the crisis will be averted. Keep getting distracted by respectability politics while this has been happening forever.
No, its just organised Christianity taken to its nth degree in the USA.
Where the nation is personified by one man, and the people come together for the "collective" good of the nation?
Almost like a...national socialism.
Punch nazis, folks.
Off topic, but ive seen you answering similarly in other threads and also a meme? with other posters in other thread making memes and answering in latin.
I just want to know what the fuck is going on lol
Maybe it's one for each of the Thirteen Colonies? That works with their whole BioShock Infinite vibe.
I've been actively warning people about these Dominionist asshats for three decades now. Project Blitz is just a step in their dystopian plan.

But there's good news. Nonreligiousity is on the rise (even in the U.S.). This is part of the death throes of the faith. It'll never disappear completely, but the theocrats are tightening their grip and getting louder because they are on the way out. The rational theists and the nonreligious need to not become lax about this. They still must be countered at every turn however possible, and when they inevitably try to dismantle democracy, they MUST be held accountable. Those spineless authorities who refuse to punish violating the law must be voted out and replaced by those who are unafraid to confront this barbarism.
And for fuck's sake, stop letting creationist dimbulbs circumvent demonstrable science with their magic fantasy!
Charlie Kirk Wants ‘Church and State Mixed Together,’ Wrongly Declares ‘Our Founding Fathers Believed in That’
Misguided bag of potatoes Charlie Kirk erroneously claimed the nation's Founders wanted religion and government "mixed together."

It is supposed to be based on this scripture in the bible:
If I bring the sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one of their number as their sentinel; and if the sentinel sees the sword coming upon the land and blows the trumpet and warns the people; then if any who hear the sound of the trumpet do not take warning, and the sword comes and takes them away, their blood shall be upon their own heads. They heard the sound of the trumpet and did not take warning; their blood shall be upon themselves. But if they had taken warning, they would have saved their lives. But if the sentinel sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, so that the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any of them, they are taken away in their iniquity, but their blood I will require at the sentinel's hand.

And they send unto him certain of the Americans, to catch him in his words. And when they were come, they say unto him, Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not? Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it. And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's. And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they were repulsed by him. For they said, we are Americans, and verily we worship nought but Mammon. Thus they didst rebuke Jesus his teachings and ordained they becometh like Caesar. Henceforth they instituted, the multitudes would render unto them what they so desired, both Caesar's and God's. And verily, Jesus doth spun in his grave threehundred and sixty times. No more and no less. So it is written.

i know its not cool to generalize or shit on an entire group of people but im feeling pretty OK hating Christian fascists. every last one of em.
The entire time I watched that I was thinking "some young dude in the audience is going to start gearing up when gets back home".
As one that tries it really pisses me off.
At this juncture? Yes. The teaching and actions are so far removed from the book at this point that instead of being an inspiration, it's an excuse to do what ever the hell they want.
From a black guy perspective(me) it isn't too different from how it was used to justify atrocities like slavery so I guess this concept isn't new persay. I'm sure someone is going to be like its a cult the whole time here anyway but I digress. These are the type of people to gloss right on by "Not everyone who cries "Lord, Lord" will enter the Kingdom of Heaven" and its implications while doing their vile ignorance.

The Christian Taliban, everyone. These people are nuts, and dangerous.
yeah, but growing up i've always felt it was a dangerous path for your mind to go on, to allow yourself to dehumanize an "other"... but now its ok. these are some of the worst, most psychotic people in our whole history. they are literally a threat to our species, and other species bigger than a cockroach. they are pining for end times, they want to pollute as much as possible and block all climate action, they want chaos and "signs" that their Lord is coming back to vanquish all their enemies. they would even see a silver lining in a nuclear mushroom cloud.
it's beyond scary they now control one of two American political parties, and are poised to gain even more power soon.

If Biden wanted to stop the rise of it immediately, churches throughout the country would no longer be tax exempt.
Yes, the evangelicals wouldn't like it (since when do they like anything), but it would force organizations like the one in the video to have to pay taxes and may shut them down for good.
But then they would go from being the American Taliban to actual domestic terrorists and we may see attempts on Biden and other Democrats' lives.

Yeah tax exempt status for churches should be revoked for any church that reaches a certain size.
Considering both are worshipped as holy writ, no, they don't have to pick. To them, Bible and Constitution are sides of the same coin. Or at least the parts they can abuse are.

Shackled our minds when we're left on the cross
When ignorance reigns, life is lost, lost, lost!
Seems a clear violation of their 3c tax free status. Point Live should be reported to the IRS in a 13909 form and throughly investigated for politicking from the pulpit.
Tax them.
It's a long story. I was joining ResetEra, noticed the terms of use didn't preclude speaking another language, so I pretended to be a time-displaced Roman emperor and spoke in Latin exclusively for about 85 posts.
But I am genuinely serious with that comment in here, about ultimately blaming Constantine for this Christofacist shit. It doesn't get to the other side of the planet in this form without his actions.
Initially I wrote a 1000 word essay here about the timeline of events from Rome being a *relatively* religiously tolerant empire to it becoming a monotheistic empire that would spend the next several centuries just going absolutely fucking apeshit about exactly how magical Jesus was on scale of 1-10... but nobody wants to read that.
Let's just leave it at the observation that this Christofacist doctrine of "One God, One [Emperor], One [Empire]" feels very reminiscent of the dogmatic, authoritarian domino chain that Constantine started. Which Iulian *maaaaaay* have somewhat reversed if he hadn't died so quickly after becoming the last non-Christian emperor.

Well, thats interesting lol
I mean, ive read the comments you have posted, so i supose someone is reading them hahaha
I mean, I would've loved to read it. I also didn't mind your schtick either, it was fun.
If this was all you, this is an underrated post.
If it was a copy-paste from somewhere else (I dunno, I'm behind on my meme-culture these days), still a decent post, but I forgive other people for ignoring it.
For people who say "Christian Taliban" or "American Taliban", y'all know how that sounds? That your frame of reference for terrorists or fascists is an Islamic organisation that was the result of USA intervention in a foreign country, rather than the many homebred American fascist and European fascist terrorist organisations. Maybe let's give this term a rest.
I got some bad news for you if you think the Democrats are above this type of shit. Yeah the GOP is basically run by these types... But the Dems aren't as far behind as we may like to think. They just ain't as up front about it.
Citation? What percent of the Democratic Party are Christofascists and what do you base that on?
I don't think you can just declare something like that. I know energy is a very complex topic, but my understanding is the US won't be energy independent ever, or at least for a very, very long time.
The first part was the bible, the second part was mine, thanks :P.
As democrats are a big tent party, I find this statement difficult to parse. I can't even think of a subset that is this cultish.
Do you have any sources to back that up?
Allow me to walk that back a bit. Fascism, any brand or flavor of it, isn't anything a left leaning party is going to go for, obviously.
What I really meant was that Christian Fundamentalism is, generally speaking, widely accepted in America on both sides of the political spectrum as it pertains to America. So like the full "nationalist" side of it isn't something you'll see widely adopted on the democratic side, but Christian ideals are still held closely to the heart of the party.
Christianity is declining in the US overall and religion affiliation among young people are the lowest ever. This churches and their leaders know that their followers are getting older and fewer persons are joining the cults.
The last option that they have is radicalizing even more their base and seize public institutions, this is where they are more dangerous and they most be confronted immediately.

This is an American problem, full stop. Do not bring Taliban or anyone else in this. This is America's own doing.
This.
We take away the churches non-profit status. They will very quickly change how they organize politically But until then, they will continue to have these sort of clan rallies.
OP
OP
I agree with your statement except the part that's America's problem.
This movement is global, they believe Jesus won't return until the whole planet is a theocracy.
