Indeed, you do. Can you remind me how you arrived at your definition of religion?
The history of hijackings isn't in my wheelhouse, but it does seem as though humans are rather adept at finding justifications for doing pretty much anything. Would it be fair to say that using religion in this way might be the longest running con in history?
Too right, @daviddark.bsky.social. That is an important distinction to make.
"Jesus wasn't a Christian" shouldn't be a controversial statement to make.

This screams “former white evangelical youth group kids.” 😑
A lack of Christians isn’t the problem.
The lack of morally serious, decent human beings is. The people in this photo are neither of those things.
The Faith Cartel has had its agents in “the halls of power“ for decades. They’re the reason why all of this insane shit *gestures broadly* is happening.
We liked it as well. I’m a sucker for an origin story. 😅
I guess it makes sense if you’re an evangelical tosspot with a hankering to see “the end times“ kick off *stares at Petey H*

The decades-long religious influence behind this is not talked about nearly enough.
Apparently, there is something called an “album,” which appears to be a cohesive narrative over a period of multiple songs in a row. I can almost feel my attention span increasing with every track.
