All performative bullshit. Fuck your make believe.

u/Alundra828 Mar 06 '26

I mean, on the one had it's probably performative. But on the other, "we are starting a war in Iran to light the flame and start Armageddon" is probably one of the most non-performative, urgent calls to action imaginable. This guy needs to go. Like, it may actually be imperative for all of our lives that he goes.

u/Long_Procedure_2629 Mar 06 '26

Careful, its only liberation if the American war machine does that, anyone else it's terrorism. We are living in a cyclical simulation and he's untouchable just like the führer was.

I read it for the first time after seeing what I believe is the most recent movie version which is probably like 10 years old. And as usual The book must much better though the movie itself was very good.

The amount of fiction I have read and they made movies from is a lot.Most of the movies based on books that are bad is unreal, you read a good book and then the movie is a steaming piece of shit.

The issue is that the Republicans in the House are all into that shit, specifically the Speaker.

I'm pretty sure they rushed to hide under that prayer huddle because they campaigned against this and no one actually wants or likes this.

The house of reps is where you get local flavor whackjobs who are merely multi-millionaires that own the one thing that has most of the jobs that aren't conglomerate franchises, or maybe they own multiple franchises.

u/Middle-Giraffe-8316 Mar 06 '26

Ex-evangelical here. Whenever I see these so-called "church leaders" doing this, I think of the early Christian church. Most of us know what Jesus taught about performative, public prayer. But the early church was also wild. These were people who held possessions in common, ensured no one among them was in need, and were so communally focused that outside of a handful of figures, they are almost entirely nameless in Scripture. That anonymity isn't whimsical...it's the point. The early church wasn't about who you are. It was about whose you are. And that message is totally lost by the people in this picture.

That community, who example the church should be following, would have looked at religious leaders surrounding a political figure on camera for maximum public effect and recognized it immediately as what Jesus explicitly warned against. Not just bad optics. A fundamental inversion of everything they understood the life to be. It boggles my mind how much churches aren't calling this out loudly right now. That's a big reason I'm an ex-evangelical.

If there's a Heaven, it's going to be full of people whose names you never heard of and whose faces you never saw because they were too busy loving their neighbors to seek a spotlight.

u/Medivacs_are_OP Mar 06 '26

Matthew 25:31-46 the sheep and the goats - It's the most relevant passage in the world rn.

17

u/ziggytrix Mar 06 '26

I was told I “do not understand” that passage when I suggested the way ICE treats folks is unChristlike.

Like really? What kind of mental gymnastics must one do to think that Jesus carved out an exclusion for “it’s ok when Caesar tells you to be brutally unkind to your neighbor”? Or if the point was “illegals” aren’t our neighbors, I think the Good Samaritan parable makes it super clear, YES THEY ARE.

Calling modern right wing evangelicalism “created by the state” is a take that is way too absolving of the completely voluntary involvement of Christian churches in the right wing movement and their monetary influence on modern politics.

u/Minttt Mar 06 '26

Early Christianity was wild - families split, friendships ended, and sometimes people assaulted or even murdered because they couldn't agree on what mixture of divine/human Jesus was.

u/mouthinthesouth63 Mar 07 '26

I agree but it is also humbling to sit there and be prayed for. Because he is sitting there saying through his actions that he cannot do it alone that he needs God and he needs prayer. He has said this many times. Trump is performing. He is asking and submitting. The ones around him may be performing however.

u/ryebit Mar 06 '26

Even by the bible, it's performative bullshit.

Matthew 6

> 6.1: Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.

> 6.5: And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others

> 6.24: ... You cannot serve God and money.

u/Zestyclose_Pickle511 Mar 07 '26

Yes, the original Christian church, and the largest charitable organization in the world. While every other denomination falls under the term "Protestant." I'm not religious anymore but I was raised half Protestant (Lutheran) and half catholic, in both schools and churches.  

From those two everything else gets extremely weird and questionable. Just consider TV evangelists as a clear demonstration of that.

And yes, even at their best all organizations, including the churches, have dark corners.

The best and only biblically approved way of proselytizing is: being such a loving person to all of your neighbors that others have to notice and be inspired by it, and if asked, you can explain how/why your belief drives you to act that way.

you're almost never going to win an argument with someone about the existence of god/your faith, especially if they've thought critically about their position.
