See, a few decades ago the leaders of the repugican cabal did something very intelligent. History shows one of the easiest ways to manipulate, and control, people is through their religion. You can get people to do horrific things in the name of “their god” by convincing them that their actions are acceptable because they are the true believers, and those they oppose are the “heathens.”
You see this with radicals of every faith. These radical leaders take a handful of excerpts from whatever book they follow and manipulate millions into believing whatever they want.
The repugicans knew two key issues could easily control millions — abortion and homosexuality. Once they identified their two key manipulation points, all they needed to do was tie in whatever political ideology they wanted with these two religious-based delusions and they could create a political cabal that was worshiped more like a faith than a political agenda.
And that’s exactly what they did. I always encourage people to stop saying repugicans represent christianity, and call them out on what they really worship.
I call it “repugicanity” and I consider it a cult. It’s a perversion of christianity mixed with a political set of man-made delusions. These people view their devotion to the repugican cabal on the same level they do their belief in their god. To them, the repugican cabal is the cabal of “real christians.” They don’t need facts or reality to support their political illusions, they have “faith.”
Except, your political illusions are supposed beliefs to be based on facts — not faith.
What they follow is some mix of Ayn Rand economic ideologies and a couple of select passages from the bible.
Which I always find hilarious considering Ayn Rand thought religious people were stupid and insane. So people like Paul Ryan, who built his economic ideology on her teachings while claiming to be a devout “christian,” just show their ignorance by claiming to believe in both. How exactly can someone build an economic platform based on a woman who completely contradicted christianity, while claiming to be a follower of christianity?
It makes absolutely no damn sense.
See, the whole point of being a christian means you follow the teachings of christ. I’ve actually seen many of these “christians” try and say jesus would support cuts to welfare and side with the top-down economic mishandling of the repugican cabal.
As I’ve said before, whether you believe in jesus christ or not is not the issue, what he symbolized and his story aren’t really debatable. He spent his life helping the poor, sick and needy. He never once spoke about homosexuality or abortion. He embraced those from the lowest rungs of society by saying that those for whom much had been given, much is expected. He taught love, hope, compassion and forgiveness. He warned against those who would manipulate the word of god for their own selfish ambitions. He opposed greed and encouraged giving.
You know, the exact oppose of what repugicans stand for.
But that doesn’t matter to these people because they oppose abortion and homosexuality — again, two things jesus never spoke of.
And honestly, can you name one other “christian” value repugicans claim to value? Because I hate to break it to them, but guns weren’t invented by jesus. Saying you have a “god-given right to bear arms” is just ignorant. Your god didn’t grant anyone the right to bear arms, a bunch of slave owning rich white men did in the late-1700′s. Most of which weren’t even christians. So please, stop calling repugicans “christians” — they’re not.
I can’t count the times I’ve heard people say they don’t consider themselves christians any longer because of the ignorance of the repugican cabal Millions have abandoned christianity because these people have hijacked a faith to distort it for their own political gains.
It’s time real christians take back their faith from these people who’ve turned so many sour on christianity. It’s time they rise up against these ignorant fake christians and call them out directly on the truth. They don’t follow christianity.
They follow repugicanity. They worship Reagan, guns and greed — not jesus christ.
