      They’re fascists for sure, but Nazis had a mixed view on Christianity. Most of the leaders didn’t want Christianity, or if they did, a flavor that was neither Catholic nor Protestant, but Naziism first and Christian second. (And of course Islam and Judaism were right out.)

        “First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three. No more. No less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it.”

    Christians are very easily duped and therein lies the problem.

    Trump has never attended ANY church organically of his own volition.

    He was a registered Democrat— easily Googled. He raw dogged a porn star while cheating on his pregnant wife. They don’t give a fig unless Fox News tells them ‘they are upset now’, and feeds them their latest talking point.

      Yeah, it’s literally baked into the scripture. The authority figures that made it up made sure to include blind obedience as a central virtue, so they could better control the masses. That’s why they came up with the whole thing.

      If you convince a Christian (or Muslim or Hindu or whatever) fundamentalist that you’re a righteous defender of the ideals of their religion, they’ll let you get away with literally anything, including but not limited to “grabbing them by the pussy”.

    There’s a great PBS Frontline documentary about these Christian nationalists/fascists, focusing primarily on Michael Flynn who has gained quite the following leading these morons.
