Its an export from England, not an import.

Britain has been Christian Nationalist for centuries

[–] 6stringringer@lemmy.zip 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

These cretins were kicked out of England because they tried so valiantly to tell everyone how to act as a Christian. Then, they came to the new world claiming persecution. All these butthurt babies are now gonna do a repeat. 400 years later here we are.

As an actual bible believing Christian, I would like to officially distance myself from all this nonsense.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Of course you would. That would keep you from having to fix it.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 1 points 57 minutes ago

TBF, I don't think they can fix it any more than we can.

Religion is a business plan wrapped up in propaganda.

[–] ruekk@fedinsfw.app 9 points 16 hours ago

No, your kind should take responsibility

Bible Believing Christian? Gross.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

None of them follows Jesus's teachings, they just abuse his name.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (1 children)

Jesus teaches that He will return at the head of a Holy Army, to kill all who won't accept Him as Lord.

"They" can't even come close to the horrors Jesus promised. The lake of blood will be miles wide, and as high as a horse's bridle (according to Him).

His billions of victims won't even have peace in death, as He promises them eternal torment in a lake of fire (according to Him).

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Which shows that you did not understand the bible. Forget the Apocalypse. It should never have made it to the book, and has nothing to do with what Jesus preached.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 50 minutes ago)

I understand the Bible... it appears that you've never read it.

Jesus Himself preached that He will return at the head of a Holy Army to crush humanity, you have no idea what is going on. Jesus Himself described the eternal torments of Hell.

You should probably read the Bible so you know what I'm talking about, and stop spreading blatant bullshit.

Even if you remove "the Apocalypse" from the Bible completely (by that I take it you mean Revelation), the quotes of Jesus remain in the New Testament elsewhere. You just ignore them.

Disgusting revisionism. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Do you think He promised to come back to Earth for hugs? No. Like He said, He came not to bring peace, but the sword.

I wish your religious leaders had years ago.

Here we call them Union(CDU/CSU)

As a white boy deep in the south region of the US where evangelical Christian is the only Christianity I suggest to you, as a person who has lived in this shithole, that my brothers and sisters in Great Britain nuke this shit from orbit and pour gasoline on the smoking embers. We thought this would not happen here but we let the fucking nuts congregate and feed off each other. It all started when Eisenhower let Billy Graham in the White House because, " what can a little prayer breakfast hurt?" And no one said a thing because why offend " good Christian" people. Stop it now while the chickens are still in the hen house.

[–] hanrahan@piefed.social 10 points 16 hours ago

Yeah, the Tolerance paradox, tolerate these toxic shit stains and this is how you end up

[–] backalleycoyote@lemmy.today 5 points 18 hours ago

As a white boy from Idaho, I second this. We ran their first wave out in the early 00s, but the next wave trying to create a white nationalist haven was far worse than the old ones who contented themselves with cosplay Conderacy/Nazism and only left their compounds once a year for a parade. There’s no shame anymore, no edgelord “I’m a Nazi” attitude. They’ve normalized the doctrine by being average neighbors rather than radical weirdos in a bunker. They’re invading our local offices, school boards, city councils, and other minor offices. One challenged our governor (a Regan-esque pos but not total MAGA) and while he lost, still got 30% of the vote. They’re buying up our remote farming communities and turning them into ideological enclaves. They’re well educated, and many are former cops or military. Out here it’s creating a strange bedfellow situation. We’ve got urban leftists and libs, east state Mormons who are starting to recognize MAGA evangelicals aren’t their ally, and the 2A an-cap libertarians who hate the Feds. Fun times. But seriously, don’t let these people get a foot in the door at any level.

As someone raised in evangelical Christianity and fought my way out, this guy’s not fucking kidding, and neither is he being overly dramatic. I suggest you act with frightening speed and ruthless efficiency, leaving no blade of grass untouched nor smallest nook or cranny overlooked. As you act, do not waver in your fortitude, and do not for even a moment to allow yourselves to consider that you may be acting “a bit rash.” It is imperative that you cease immediately the spread of this pestilence.

You thought it wouldn’t happen there? Pretty sure most of the rest of us knew it always had.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can not upvote this enough. This man speaks the truth, and reason. He is not crazy. I've had a similar experience, and if anything, I think this isn't raising the warning flag high enough for what could happen in the UK here.

[–] badgermurphy@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Too bad there's no "new world" to ship all the fundies off to this time.

[–] EvasiveSpecies@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am SO tired of these religious fundie/extremist nutjobs.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

They are only hypocrite religious. Nothing of what they are doing is even close to Jesus's core teaching "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Mark 12:31). They are giving Christians a bad reputation.

[–] Mulligrubs@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Christians gave themselves a bad reputation, then as now. Their faith never recovered from the Black Death, which finally broke the back of the church, and ended their stranglehold over almost all of Europe.

They later tried to break the peasants with their various Inquisitions, killing thousands more, but no matter how many people the Christians tortured to death, they were never able to achieve their former glory and power; they have diminished every year since.

They've lost half of their faithful in the USA over the past 20 years. PRAISE GOD

[–] lemmylump@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh shit. You lot need to nip these assholes in the bud.

[–] Bahnd@lemmy.world 5 points 19 hours ago

Thats exactly what they did last time, ship all the fundy religious nuts overseas, the Massachusetts bay colony was full of religious exiles deemed too "extra" for post-reformation Europe... And look where we are now.

[–] absquatulate@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Aaaand of course its through Reform MPs. Why did I expect otherwise

[–] treehugger6@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

How much do you want to bet they don't even go to church? I'm an atheist and I'm more christian than them

[–] Akasazh@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wonder how harsh their stance on this foreign refugee will be

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 10 hours ago

did they not learn from brexit?, no they dint.

[–] magnue@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah that isn't gonna work here

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

Yup. People don’t like religion at the best of times.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Didn't Christian nationalism literally come from Britain? It didn't spontaneously form from the ether in America. A bunch of brits sailed to America to slaughter native Americans because God "wanted them to", a few generations pass and then here we are. And no I'm obviously not saying it is actually this simple ("Americans = brits + time"), but the headline seems dumb to me too.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

The Great Awakening, which is where most US Christian nationalism stems from, is a pretty American homegrown phenomenon not happening in any comparable way in Europe at the time.

So no, Christian nationalism did not literally come from Britain. It is capable of appearing anywhere where Christian fanatics congregate to a great extend, and they have never congregated so much as they have and are currently doing in the US.
