Christian Nationalists and Evangelicals are in the peculiar position of finding Heaven’s gates closed to them. Despite their belief that they are leading good Christian lives, they follow false prophets.
I don’t often write about religion, anywhere really, because that is personal. Other than the occasional wedding/funeral, I haven’t been inside a church since I graduated high school. I make no claims to being any form of religious leader, prophet, or someone leading a Godly life. Having said that, I obviously learned more about religion in Catechism than either J. D. Vance and Speaker Mike Johnson. Unlike these two, I most certainly know what the Ultimate Sin of Man is.
The Common Thread
Pretty much every religion based on a written text has some phrasing like what Vance should have learned in Catechism. Obviously he failed that coursework.
What soever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.
Even the King James version of the bible, written so the king could dump his current wife has
And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
Yes, bible thumpers will demand I state Matthew 25:40 here. I’m not trying to claim intimate knowledge of the text here, just that I paid attention while neither J. D. Vance nor Mike Johnson did.
Feel free to watch the Torah lesson on this. Read/watch the Mormon take on this.
Righteousness is not in turning your faces towards the east or the west. Rather, the righteous are those who believe in Allah, the Last Day, the angels, the Books, and the prophets; who give charity out of their cherished wealth to relatives, orphans, the poor, ˹needy˺ travellers, beggars, and for freeing captives; who establish prayer, pay alms-tax, and keep the pledges they make; and who are patient in times of suffering, adversity, and in ˹the heat of˺ battle. It is they who are true ˹in faith˺, and it is they who are mindful ˹of Allah˺.
[Quran 2:177]
False Prophets
Those who claim to be so holy yet voted for Donald Trump are following a false prophet. Most of these so called religious people do not even know of the scripture provided list of spotting false prophets. They pretty much describe Vance, Trump, and Johnson to a tee.
- If your faith leader claims there is biblical justification for slavery, you follow a false prophet.
- Those who claim to be Catholic then deport Catholics to a country not of their origin for the crime of coming here to get a better life are false profits. A head of lettuce costing $2.50 instead of $0.50 is because everyone who picked the fruits and vegetables got deported or is in hiding. That’s also the real reason the rest of your meat products, especially beef, have skyrocketed. Those are also the people who take the shit jobs in the slaughterhouses. A farmer gets less than 6 cents of every food dollar.
- If your faith leader uses religion to justify the slaughter of women and children, you follow a false prophet. Iran and Iraq are countries run by false prophets. No religion justifies either terrorist attacks or treating women like third class citizens having no rights other than cooking, cleaning, and being semen receptacles. The least of my brothers is also my sister.
Summary
You can lead a good life without ever setting foot in a house of worship as long as you live by one mantra.
What soever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do unto me.
A good life is lived in a single sentence.
You Evangelicals and Christian Nationalists who voted for Trump have all abandoned your faith. Many of you are old enough to not have voted for Ronald Reagan “because he was divorced,” yet you voted for a false prophet with multiple divorces who is also a serial cheater. Adding insult to injury, he was adjudicated of sexual assault.
400 Christian leaders signed an open letter trying to save the souls of the good people from this faithless tyranny centered in the Oval Office.
The Pope is not a false prophet. I don’t care if you are Catholic or not. I certainly cannot call myself one even after having been raised Catholic. Given the Satanic interpretations of Ordo Amoris spouted by Vance, I firmly believe he will answer the pleas of his clergy and flock. He will excommunicate J.D. Vance.
Go now this Easter and lead a good life. Do not force your religion upon another and remember the mantra.
