This guy says the entire West Bank should be taken by Israeli settlers. He is one of the most popular politician in Louisiana. Why? Because he is a "Good Christian"

"Good Christian"

Those words are not synonyms.

DreamAccountant@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 323d

Religions are lies, and christianity is no exception. Those religious lies are used to push their nonsense on everyone around them, while making them think that they're better than everyone else for believing in a fictional god.

Stop supporting religions. Even if you think you're one of the "good ones". Especially if you think that you're one of the "good ones".

Good Christian

They don't even go together in one sentence

If the West Bank belongs to Jewish people "by right", then the USA belongs to the indigenous people right? I guess pointing out conservative hypocrisy is a futile task though

ceenote@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 323d

It's thinly veiled dressing on "the world belongs to white people by right"

The Bible do3snt promise native Americans that land, so no.

O M G He is the Anti-Colbert

frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io · 7 pts · 323d

He's Colbert with one or two additional cousin marriages among the ancestors

esc27@piefed.social · 5 pts · 323d

Yes. Ever since he started getting media attention, I've seen him as the real world, version of the comedic character Colbert portrayed.

Randelung@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 322d

Colbert has himself compared himself to Johnson a few times.

Same guy who uses an app with his son so they can monitor each others porn usage. Not weird at all.

Wouldn’t be surprised if this guy is a pedophile. He’s doing his best to protect one by keeping the govt shut down.

DarkFuture@lemmy.world · 10 pts · 322d

Well, he supports pedophiles. So he's definitely a Christian.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 322d

If that's a good Christian I'd hate to meet a bad one

I couldn’t find details for Louisiana, but Mike Johnson is showing 35% unfavorable compared to 30% favorable, so he’s not exactly “popular.”

shalafi@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 323d

He's popular enough to have won his last election unopposed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_history_of_Mike_Johnson

Still, hard to say if it's the man or the R in front of his name.

frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io · 6 pts · 323d

If he really believed that, he'd be too busy giving massive portions of the US back to the indigenous tribes to bother with anyone else.

BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 5 pts · 323d (2 replies)

They love him because they can't read in those parts.

DreamAccountant@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 323d (1 reply)

They don't read their bible, they have a hate preacher yell it at them several times a week. That hate preacher 100% definitely tells them how to vote in every single election. For their fictional god. That controls everything.

BeefandSquints@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 322d

Yeah, literal morons dedicating their lives to low tier fiction.

Jaysyn@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 322d

I don't consider him a Christian, regardless of what he claims. He's openly against everything that Jesus said (the red text in the Bible), especially the "stranger" & "hypocrisy" parts.

He's a Christofascist.

I seriously doubt Hell is real, but if it is, he's most certainly going to be burning in it.

hopesdead@startrek.website · 3 pts · 323d

I genuinely thought that was a AI generated image. Still think it might be.

ConHoliousDonFrankle@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 323d

What a vacant shitbag skinsuit.

Jhex@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 322d

Being a "Good Christian" means he is morally bankrupt but also racist/sexist with a sprinkle of rapist... that is all they care about

mikenurre@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 323d

Good Zionist

What a peace deal:

Peaceful defenseless suffragette victims of entitled formerly suffragette politicians decide who is ally to live. Rinse and repeat meanwhile no asks why the billionaires are so happy.

by right

okay. WHAT RIGHT EXACTLY?

Some religious (ie made up) bullshit right?
