When Fear is Your Religion
I feel sorry for white Evangelicals and fundamentalist Christians.
It must be awful to go through life terrified; to believe that you are perpetually in danger, to always be threatened by encroaching predators lurking in the shadows, around corners, beneath the bed, and at the border.
What a draining experience it has to be, walking through every day looking over your shoulder, certain that attack is inevitable and that you are soon to be overtaken.
I feel sorry for these people, because I know they can’t understand or reflect the compassionate, expansive love of Jesus, having been weaned since birth on a tiny, fragile faith made entirely out of fear:
fear of an angry god dispensing damnation,
fear of Mexicans stealing their jobs,
fear of immigrants overrunning their borders,
fear of refugees families bringing terrorism in a Trojan Horse,
fear of Muslims smuggling in Sharia Law,
fear of Transgender people lurking in bathrooms,
fear of Atheists assailing their freedoms,
fear of brown people brandishing violence,
fear of Hollywood perverting their children,
fear of a Gay Agenda converting their children,
fear of Science disproving their Bible,
fear of Democrats coming for their guns.
fear of the Media fooling them with fake news.
fear of the Devil coming in the form of reporters, professors, lesbians, and Liberals.
Their accumulated terrors have turned them into what they are now: perpetually petrified human beings whose disfigured, Frankensteined faith has now turned on them.

It is written by a Christian Minister. Right wing evangelicals are regressive, fake Christians.
He is not an anti-Semite. He is against the Zionist apartheid of Palestinians. Palestinians are the Semitic peoples not the Jews. But then, you are a sucker for right wing, bullshit propaganda.
And this turn of events shows how far America has been dragged down by rightwing political faux Christianity. It is hard to believe even the most brainwashed buy into this pay to pray salvation scheme. Is there any hope left for [real] Christianity in a country where the love of god in and of itself no longer offers salvation?
The sale of indulgences was outlawed by the Catholic Church in 1567. Now it seems faux evangelical preachers have revived this absurdity in a big way. Not that this is a new thing for such clowns, and as any one who has even glanced at their TV screen on Sundays in the past 70 or so years has seen, they have been very successfully selling their lies/salvation for money to a frightened gullible audience for a very long time. An audience I might add, that is convinced they will never love enough to please this particular god who apparently likes money, property, private jets, fast cars, and oh yeah, lots of secret illicit sex.
I suppose these strange self proclaimed born again TV clowns have never read Matthew 19:24
…23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of god. 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”…
In a Country where the love of god is not as valuable as the proverbial thirty pieces of silver to the preachers who claim to come in his name, where can [the real] Jesus find a home? Not in American pay to pray evangelical Christian political circles apparently. The TV hucksters and clowns have hijacked the public face of Christianity, the brand itself, for their own nefarious political, money making agendas.
Christianity will survive this hijacking by frauds and hucksters as it always has through the ages, but one has to wonder if America itself will. - Chris Waller
