Mildly Infuriating

"Dear God, please help us kill the poors and the gays and the brown and blacks. Amen."

I'm just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.

Matthew 6

1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I don't know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit "christian" churches peddling nonsense, I guess.

Hey, guys, I don't think Jesus would approve of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, but keep pretending that you are holier than me.

Am I the only one finding this disgusting?

You will never convince me that shit like this is more than just performative play-acting for the sake of their base.

They aren't actually fucking praying. They don't actually believe any of this shit. It's a tool used to keep the support of their base of white christian nationalists.

That's why we see them doing shit like this now than every before.

In a world where more liberal minded Christians are balking at how "unchristian" these idiots are turning out to be, they have to make these shows louder and more obvious...and make damn sure there's a camera around, so that they can play even harder to the more extreme supporters.

If they were to quietly go about their business with no "performative acts of faith", more people would recognize them as the monsters they are.

But with shit like this, 81 year old grandparents the country over can look at them and say "I don't understand what they're doing, but they MUST be the good guys because look how christian they are..."

If anyone thinks America is getting out of this without resorting to firing squads and hanging these fuckers upside down in town squares, they're naive as fuck.

Trump doesn't listen to your prayers, fuckheads.

Disgusting pieces of shit. Reminds me of Jesus calling out the pharisees for praying in public, performatively. Not to mention they are going to ruin people's lives with that bill! Poor people are going to die so they can cut taxes for the rich!

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6

"Oh yeah, that's definitely settled: John has the biggest one! Ok folks, zip up before they realize what we're doing!"

Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

1 John 4:20

Even when I was in that kind of group, I would feel embarrassed about pushing in a group. I didn't realize I didn't believe it yet, but that always felt odd and embarrassing in a group, and so pointless when alone.

I was still too brainwashed to think anything of it, but part of me always knew.

Not a single Christian among them. What exactly are they praying for, did anyone ask?

This is called taking the Lord's name in vain. But they tell people that's saying omg

None of those motherfuckers are going to heaven.

All we need is a good horseshoe.

~~Prayer~~ Circlejerk

People who behave this way are dangerous to society. It's a signal that they think they know better than everyone else and are confidently correct in doing whatever the hell they consider the right thing without considering the effects on others. These are sociopaths.

"Dear God, thank you for Trump, ICE, and Alligator Auschwitz. Please let our reich last a thousand years."

Fucking gross.

Keep religion out of politics, it never EVER ends well.

There's nothing mildly infuriating about this. Just full on infuriating

Right before they pass some abysmal legislation that would make Jesus weep

Looks more like a circle jerk to me.
