Do they mean like when their leadership is revoking student visas, going Leviticus 19:34 states: "You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself".

Leviticus is from the Jewish part, though, and is therefore inherently less valuable to Christians unless there's anything in there about murdering gays or treating women like property.
And what about the book of James which says the same thing in different words?
Bible says everything if you look hard enough. There's no point in argumenting this way.

Do you hate Donna in accounting for wishing you a “happy holidays” in 2021? Now you finally have the opportunity to get back at that god-hating bitch! Rat her out to HR and send her ass to El Salvador!
/s

I don't think the /s is appropriate. That's like...gonna happen.
I didn’t want to get flamed by anyone that couldn’t immediately see it was a joke lol

Fuck religion, brain dead morons
I'm an atheist, but I don't think we should hate on other people based on their religion, tbh. The problem is the institutions and persons that take advantage of people's faith.
People are free to believe whatever they want to believe, that's none of our business, imho; but.. to whoever exploits people's beliefs and vulnerabilities, fuck them worthless pieces of bloody shit to the infinity. Again, imho.
You know, I totally agree people are free to believe whatever they want and obviously I know and am friends with/family with people who are religious and I don't necessarily think poorly of them on an individual basis.
However, my belief on a personal level is religion is fucking stupid and an artifact of humans from a bygone age when we were significantly dumber, unintelligent, and didn't know anything about the world and universe. I hate religion and wish I could live long enough to see it die. It makes me so happy knowing that overall religious individuals, at least in the US, are declining year over year.
I'm aggressive about it here because this is the internet and those are my true feelings. But ya irl it would be pretty scummy to be so hostile and rude to someone based purely on their religious beliefs
Hear hear. People are trying to live their lives and grapple with the universe in a way that they can cope with. But the institutions themselves are evil, barbaric relics that belong in history books.
100%, I've made my distaste for religion clear but I'm honestly jealous of them sometimes. How nice would it be to truly believe there is a heaven or after life of some kind, that would be a nice feeling indeed.
You could always choose to believe in a scientifically plausible religion! Here's one of my favorites:
Imagine a far future utopian society. Something Star Trek or better. No one wants for anything, even aging is cured.
However, utopia has a problem. How do you raise children in paradise? In a world where your every whim can be conjured up for free, how do you raise children without them turning out to be a bunch of spoiled sociopaths?
Simple. Don't even try. Raise them in a simulation. Choose the environment carefully. Raise them in a simulation of an earlier historical era. Far enough back that they will experience some struggle, but not so far back that they'll be living as slave in ancient Rome or something. You want to educate people, not torture them. And ideally in a period that has a concept that the future can be far more advanced than the present. Ancient societies didn't really grok the concept of technological advancement. The 21st century is a great era to build an ancestor simulation around.
And, just like that, there's your religion. When you 'die' in this life, you just wake up in the real world. Maybe there's even a judgment component there. Maybe you have to go through several lifetimes if you don't live a good enough life in the simulation. Are you a sociopathic billionaire in this life? Back in the tank with you, you're going around the wheel again until you learn not to be an asshole. When you've shown you can live a just, noble, and compassionate life, only then are you allowed to graduate from school and enter into the real world. You're biologically immortal, so you can just keep spinning on the wheel as long as necessary. Oh, and you'll be reunited with all your departed family and friends, once they graduate as well.
There. A completely scientifically plausible religion that requires zero supernatural forces or entities. It rewards the virtuous, punishes the wicked, provides for the resurrection of the dead, and promises eternal paradise. No God or gods required. It's a hybrid of Christianity and Buddhism packaged in a techno utopian wrapper. I call it "The Church of Graduation."

I'm not particularly anti-religious, but this is essentially the "not all men" argument in clerical robes.

There is no place for religious believes in a workplace or anwhere outside basically. You have a job to do that should be defined. Where does god come into this? If you believe god forbids to do xy on the job then the job is not for you. Just quit.
It has limits though - people can believe whatever, but they still shouldn't harm others.

We are cursed to live in a society where most grown ass adults still believe in magic.
Religion, AI, living forever, etc. The people at the top of american society are quite possibly among the most gullible rubes to live on this planet. 45 years of low taxes has cooked our society

At least now I have something to yell if a member of the US government attempts to grab me off the street—“This is religious persecution! I’m a Christian!”
It should take them a while to sort that out.
"God in heaven! No, I won't join your satanic sex cult!"
Took them a while, but the south finally rose again.
And fucked us all without lube.
how very constitutional
Fellas, is this DEI?
Just start reporting cops.
How's that first amendment working? No? How about the second, then?
That's rich coming from a bunch of fucks who would pay money to line up to waterboard their own savior.
My job is working in government. I also happen to be Christian.
But at church I'm not a government employee, and at work I'm not a Christian, because one has nothing to do with the other. Separation of church and state is good for both institutions.

Ah yes. Internal purging. Fascist checklist is moving real fast.
Should report trump for being an Antichrist
"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."
Right. Rules for thee but not for me.
Let's start that list of anti christian behavior of trump:

Sounds like Christians are going to try and purge society. Again. Get your guns and be ready. Load up on bullets. Train. Go to a range.
What baffles me is like, if you have to set a theological standard for a government then you'll have to persecute 99% of Christians too, cause this one flavor of evangigilical baptist or whatever that is leading the fray alienates all of the catholics and however many protestant denominations of Christianity. You cant have a Christian state and just assume all other Christians will fall in line behind your doctrine because Christianity itself can't agree on the doctrine.
You cant have a Christian state and just assume all other Christians will fall in line behind your doctrine because Christianity itself can’t agree on the doctrine.
You're missing the bigger picture of "selective enforcement". If everyone is guilty, then there's no need to manufacture a pretext fire them or to arrest them and throw them jail possibly in El Salvador beyond the reach of the rule of law).

I was just recently having an internal debate on whether to refer to the US government as extremist Christians or not. I guess this solves that dilemma.
Alright bet.
So...
The entire fucking GOP, all of project 2025?
Let's ask the fuckin Pope, shall we?? Put up or STFU. This administration is such a pathetic display of cowardice.
So in case you didn’t get the memo, lots of evangelicals don’t like the pope because he’s too tolerant.

Ah shit here we go again
Christian Nationalists leading the downfall
Well, Secretary Rubio is among the least christian people in the state department, so…
and I thought all the previous reporting/tip lines were ripe for abuse. brava, you dipshits have really outdone yourselves.
This has always been the next step. They go after gays and transvestites first. Then it's atheist and any non-Christian person. The Christian fascist are taking over. Arm yourselves
