    I would tend to agree with you, but I do think the OP has a point. Even by Christian standards (which is a low bar) American evangelicalism is a whole different level of evil, and isn’t even Christian except in the broadest sense of the word. It’s just hateful extremism with a coat of Christian iconography.

      You put it better than me. The people masquerading as Christians are nothing of the sort. They use religion as a shield to justify their cuntiness.

      You can see it in the UK - Russel Brand gets accused of being a rapist - overnight he “finds god”. Tommy ten names Robinson is in court for being a violent bigot, immediately he’s a Christian.

      The far right march in the south against immigrants (in direct contravention of the teachings of the Bible) and apparently it’s all in the name of God, even though the closest any of them get to a church is when it’s been turned into a pub.
