For all their “christianity”, republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical.

Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

    Yea, but The Church (or, since you’re specifically talking about Gringoland, rather, churchES) are capitalist enterprises - hence you can’t expect them to criticise capitalism (even less, capitalists).

      I can and I do. If they go so heavily against the teachings of the person they’re named after, they’re nothing but the worst kinds of hypocrite.

            Well, given that the world is pretty much on fire right now, it does feel a bit out of place to start rambling about Christian hypocrisy. So, like, yea, I get your point and I do believe most religious people are hypocrites (nor is that a phenomenon that only affects Christians), but…how about, if we want to follow that line of thinking, pointing the finger at the ‘’‘’‘’‘’‘‘Jewish’’‘’‘’‘’‘’ state and its genocidal ‘’‘leader’‘’, that rabid dog no politician anywhere is willing to put a leash on? We would be talking about hypocrisy at a much, much higher level and it would be, at the veeeery least, as relevant…

          Someone criticising something in 2025 doesn’t mean they just figured it out in 2025.
