Christian Nationalism has turned the Jesus movement into a CrossFit gym for empire — all swords, merch, and cosplay masculinity. This satirical dive traces how a faith once hunted by empire now worships the very structures that killed its founder. From early Christian resistance to today’s Roman LARP culture, here’s why the Sermon on the Mount keeps getting skipped on leg day.
Call me a wimp, I didn’t think anything could trump - yes i used that purposely, otherwise i call him vulgar names that fit but aren’t appreciated, even tho he’s the one who bragged about it using those words - ) the horrors happening when i was growing up, with 3 assassinations in a decade, the
Vietnamese war, etc - and i was SO WRONG. So many wrongs were righted & then so many lies were perpetrated & hard-gained rights (and LIVES) tossed away like the reasons they had become law mattered nothing, just like the ones that suffered because of it. History repeating itself within the space of HALF of a human’s lifetime..
i in no way intend to diminish the importance of the rights of women, immigrants, blacks who not that long ago were slaves - in my whole seventy years itz always been a white man’s world - what astonishes me now is how itz narrowed - that white men in the name of Christian Nationalism will turn on any white man who doesnt buy into what they believe, which as VMB always so in-your-face points out is the ANTITHESIS of what Jesus & the early Christian’s lived,breathed, preached.
Yet itz not just God & Magdalene & Yeshua & Archangels that give me hope & faith that Christian Nationalism will not prevail, either here or anywhere else in the world. Itz that in THIS country, I believe they are outnumbered. They are NOT the majority. They are unfortunately the ones with the most power in many arenas of power.
There are more of us than there are of them — decent loving people the opposite of those so humorously, accurately & scathingly described in this post by VMB. If we can laff while reading truth that also makes you want to puke & give up, we have a chance. We are not alone. This shit is happening ALL OVER THE WORLD. My German heritage, even tho no one in my bloodline was a Nazi, they were all here long before Hitler was born) has still haunted me my whole life & with that example of the most horrific treatment of our own species involving so many countries globally, it blows my mind that so much of this is till raging on all over the planet.
I’ve raged enuf. Glad i started with some satirical laughter. I can’t give up hope & surrender to a dystopian future, no matter how bad this is (pretty fucking bad).
Again I remind myself they may have more “power” but they are way outnumbered. Globally not just nationally.
I live in a mostly liberal island in the state of conservative red for racist Georgia. I know of 2 Christian Nationaists & one has seen my Prayer Flag on my door. We agree to disagree. But I’ve got them instead of a gun to pass out & protect me. They carry strong energy & luminous love. And hope 💖❤️🔥
And I wrote this hymn for them too. https://youtu.be/oP51rnEm4lE?si=iylInplWH1zTy7iO
That song is beautiful, the words had me questioning, “is this satire? Or truly a MAGA anthem?” Whoever’s singing has a beautiful voice
❤️🔥
I wrote this piece for the same reason. We should do a live together. https://open.substack.com/pub/pedrosenhorinhasilva/p/scredianity-a-new-religion-emerges?r=52fok8&utm_medium=ios
