The hatred against Muslims felt by many evangelical Christians in America (not all, mind you) is so sad when you consider that the religion of Jesus Christ is based on love. Where's the love? 😢
And it's not made up by liberal left-wingers, as they often claim. The evangelical pastor from Texas in this video confirms it himself.
All these hateful talking points from hateful white supremacists and Christian nationalists among mostly evangelicals are so venomous and corrosive.
To these people, even good hearted Jews who condemn the evil done by Israel against the Palestinians in Gaza like US Senators Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer are branded antisemitic and not Jewish enough. As if they are more Jewish than the Jews themselves.
To these people, anything Muslim or Islamic is already evil. They readily see the evil done by Islamic fundamentalists but don't see the evil done by Christian fundamentalists aka themselves.
To these people, ALL Palestinians are guilty of the crimes committed by those Islamic fundamentalist Hamas. Hence, killing all of them, children and women included, is justified in their eyes. How so Christian or so they think. I would rather call myself an atheist.
Even if thousands upon thousands of those Palestinian kids and women are killed or starved to death, this people don't see them as humans anyways so they don't feel any guilt at all just like those Israelites in the Old Testament who claim they were told by their God to massacre all Amalekites and the other tribes in Canaan.
Those Israelites claim they were strictly told by God to kill ALL men, women, elderly, children even the animals of Amalek. And they can have their virgin women for themselves too.
So strict was the instruction for genocide that when the prophet Samuel learned that Saul spared the king's life, the prophet beheaded King Agag himself right before Saul and his court. Really? Wow. 😱
In fact, Netanyahu in present-day Israel often uses the example of the Amalekites as an inspiration of the IDF to kill their enemies in Gaza.
These Christian nationalists, most of them evangelical Christians, are truly living up to the expectations of Jesus or so they think...how truly loving people in the spirit of Christ...again, or so they think. 😭
It is for the same reason that Donald Trump pander to the hatred of these evangelicals to get their support by pretending to be one of them and went as far as selling Bibles or claims that he loves the Bible even if he knows nothing about it or claims that Christianity is under attack in America the way many evangelicals (and only them) see it.
This is the sad state of evangelical Christianity in America today.
Watch this video from a truly enlightened evangelical pastor and fully understand what it means to be a true Christian. 😍
