one of the idiots interviewed said as much plainly
Robert Jeffress, one of Trump’s evangelical advisers during the 2016 campaign and a longtime supporter, said he’s not ready to endorse him again.
“The Republican Party is headed toward a civil war that I have no desire or need to be part of,” Jeffress told Newsweek, adding that he would “happily” support Trump again if he wins the nomination.

I’ve been reading a bit of Tolstoy’s “The Kingdom of God is Within You” and it’s really jarring to read 19th century Christian anarchist pacifist writing and be like “oh yeah this is totally actual Christlike perspective” and then come back and see American evangelicals in comparison, just the most grotesque, hypocritical, bloodthirsty, arrogant, selfish people.

Bunch of cowardly ghouls. bunch of fencewalkers but no surprise. also why was this article or interview of these evangelicals even conducted. their responses was exactly what was expected. |

Like that’s such an obvious thing of course, but reading some of that book really slaps you in the face about it. Pretty cool and Tolstoy is sassy as shit in it. Anti-nationalist, anti-war, anti-rich, and very willing to call people out as hypocrites for proclaiming to follow Jesus but missing those points. Dudes rock |

Enjoy some quote highlights from The Kingdom of God Is Within You
“A man of the present day, whether he believes in the divinity of Christ or not, cannot fail to see that to assist in the capacity of tzar, minister, governor, or commissioner in taking from a poor family its last cow for taxes to be spent on cannons, or on the pay and pensions of idle officials, who live in luxury and are worse than useless; or in putting into prison some man we have ourselves corrupted, and throwing his family on the streets; or in plundering and butchering in war; or in inculcating savage and idolatrous superstitious in the place of the law of Christ; or in impounding the cow found on one's land, though it belongs to a man who has no land; or to cheat the workman in a factory, by imposing fines for accidentally spoiled articles; or making a poor man pay double the value for anything simply because he is in the direst poverty;--not a man of the present day can fail to know that all these actions are base and disgraceful, and that they need not do them. They all know it.”
“Indeed, ask every man separately whether he thinks it laudable and worthy of a man of this age to hold a position from which he receives a celery disproportionate to his work; to take from the people--often in poverty--taxes to be spent on constructing cannon, torpedoes, and other instruments of butchery, so as to make war on people with whom we wish to be at peace, and who feel the same wish in regard to us; or to receive a celery for devoting one's whole life to constructing these instruments of butchery, or to preparing oneself and others for the work of murder.”
"One man may not kill. If he kills a fellow-creature, he is a murderer. If two, ten, a hundred men do so, they, too, are murderers.
But a government or a nation may kill as many men as it chooses, and that will not be murder, but a great and noble action. Only gather the people together on a large scale, and a battle of ten thousand men becomes an innocent action. But precisely how many people must there be to make it so?-that is the question. One man cannot plunder and pillage, but a whole nation can. But precisely how many are needed to make it permissible?"
"nothing has contributed so much to the obscuring of Christian truth in the eyes of the heathen, and has hindered so much the diffusion of Christianity through the world, as the disregard of this command by men calling themselves Christians, and the permission of war and violence to Christians."
"There is not only nothing in common between the churches as such and
Christianity, except the name, but they represent two principles fundamentally opposed and antagonistic to one another.
One represents pride, violence, self-assertion, stagnation, and death; the other, meekness, penitence, humility, progress, and life. We cannot serve these two masters; we have to choose between them."
"To bring under the sway of Christianity savage nations who do not attack us and whom we have therefore no excuse for oppressing, we ought before all things to leave them in peace, and in case we need or wish to enter into closer relations with them, we ought only to influence them by Christian manners and Christian teaching, setting them the example of the Christian virtues of patience, meekness, endurance, purity, brotherhood, and love. Instead of that we begin by establishing among them new markets for our commerce, with the sole aim of our own profit; then we appropriate their lands, i. e., rob them; then we sell them spirits, tobacco, and opium, i. e., corrupt them; then we establish our morals among them, teach them the use of violence and new methods of destruction, i, e., we teach them nothing but the animal law of strife, below which man cannot sink, and we do all we can to conceal from them all that is Christian in us. After this we send some dozens of missionaries prating to them of the hypocritical absurdities of the Church, and then quote the failure of our efforts to turn the heathen to Christianity as an incontrovertible proof of the impossibility of applying the truths of Christianity in practical life."

Crazy to think that if millions of un/underemployed people would just learn to weld or do HVAC they would all have solid jobs.
