    You are right they are Christian, their actions are unChrist like and their attempt to make America into a Christian state only further destroys America while alienating people from the church. Christian nationalism is an oxymoron though.

    I try to live Christ like, but God knows I miss the mark, however I try to anyway, including volunteering my time. I am well aware of the horror that is the bible, though not so sure I would say any divine punishments were petty.

    I am also trying to voice out against fascism, unfortunately I have family that relies on my employment in a conservative place, so I have to take an indirect approach and try to make people think about what conservatives are doing.

    Thanks for making me feel unwelcome though, I’ll try to shut up next time.

        The bible does have horrifying stories. It as you pointed out doesn’t mean that its OK in God’s eyes nor should we imatate. Christians in the past have used the Bible to justify evil acts. Others have stood quiet while others do evil.
