Top Trump administration officials will address a mass prayer meeting in the heart of Washington Sunday – an event organisers bill as reclaiming the country’s religious foundations, but critics say is a quasi-official rally for Christian nationalism.

    Prayer explicitly as PR, rather than a personal relationship with God.

    These people never seem to have read Matthew 6:5-6.

      They haven’t read a lot of things. One of the things that amuse me is seeing xtians tattoo various xtian things on their body, like Hegseth, for example:

      Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

        They cherry pick from the OT whatever suits them. I’m fine if they ignore such rules from the OT with the argument that, like the food rules, it’s not relevant anymore thanks to Jesus. Cherry picking just the stuff you can use to justify hurting people, while ignoring anything that doesn’t suit your taste, is hypocrisy.

        And then they invent stuff that’s not even in the Bible, like their stupid abortion ban.

      Can you blame them? That shit works. Religious people aren’t the smartest tools in the shed, so no one ever wonders why people like donnie don’t know shit about their religion or how it comea that he’s never in church. All they see is performative stunts, and they love that.
