    No, we’re describing a religion and what its followers behave like. Atheism isn’t a religion or a group. It’s a choice to refrain from belief in a god. Christianity has churches, pastors, and now presidents who lead their followers into morally reprehensible behavior. One is rotten fruit, the other is rejecting rotten fruit. It’s not the same.

        A good person doesn’t support their religion when their religion is creating fascism in their country.

        A good person stands up and says to trump: Despite my beliefs, I denounce what you are saying and cast you out of my religion you heathen.

        But this is not what we are seeing, is it? You are against trump, I assume, yet you still defend religion before you fight fascism. Maybe ask yourself why that is.

        Good luck defending what trump does in the name of religion.

          Well I guess it’s different for Australian Christians.

          We just hardcore rejected our version of Trump in an absolute landslide.

          It seems like America at large has found a way to bastardise and twist the message of Jesus.

          I understand your hatred since you likely live there but it saddens me to see Christians worldwide painted with the same brush because of it.

          I think it’s unfair.

            You’re saying that like the liberals didn’t still get a third of votes. Willing to bed they did much better amongst Christians than non Christians.

                  I don’t. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to stay in the proverbial closet and not mention my Christianity here.

                  Clearly just believing in God makes me a horrible person somehow. That’s all you know about me, that I believe. That’s what you condemn me on.

                  It’s unreal.

                    Can you… get a grip? I didn’t say anything like that at all.

                    I think you have a real problem reading what people actually wrote.

        I said nothing about you as a person. My criticism is of your religion. If you’re taking it personally, that’s on your own conscience, and perhaps something you should reflect on.
