Im not a religious person, I dont really believe in deities, gods, etc.
but if theres ever been an argument for there being an antichrist, I think between the Right wing fascists calling themselves christians in America, and the genocidal warmongering fascists in Russia calling themselves gods warriors, I think they’ve got it locked up.

The AntiChrist isn’t an real person but it is a real idea. Demagogues come and go, often rising and falling in similar conditions and circumstances. The mythology of AntiChrist (and Christ) signals real patterns in human social behavior that generations of people have come to interpret as divine prophecy rather than intrinsic human failing.
Because the modern era grants us so much more direct and easy access to historical events, to mass communication, and to diverse perspectives, its easy to find guys like Trump scattered all through the modern historical moment. From the Park/Yoon government in S. Korea to Bolsonaro’s Brazil and Modi’s India and Orban’s Hungary, we have reactionary, self-destructive leadership echoing through the modern political landscape. Go back a generation or two and you’ll find the Reagans and Nixons, the Idi Amins and Hendrik Verwoerds, the Nicolae Ceaușescus and Fulgencio Batistas everywhere.
This is a good point, and also explains why the allegory would fit so many times/places in history going back all the way to Nero or Nimrod as well as having common attributes like the ‘mark of the beast’, they’re all symptoms of fascist type leanings. Fascinating how the bible can be a guide to identifying it while still being a tool for it.
The magic of the written word.
I have an easier time agreeing with this argument.
Once again, the “The harder people are trying to tell/display to others that they have a certain quality, the less they have it” rule applies.
Oh wow a christian community where the members are actually christians and not just racists hiding behind a bible and cross. All power to yall!
It’s sad that they seem to be the exception (on social media)
actually christians
oh look, another “no true Christian” fallacy.
…So loving thy neighbor is a fallacy now?
Christian 1. “You’re not a true Christian!”
Christian 2: “No, you’re not a true Christian!”
…which one do I shoot, guys!? Who’s real!?
So you’re saying that it’s not a fair criticism of many Christians doing exactly what op said? If so you might live under a rock
I’d argue it’s not really a fallacy in this case when the only reason they claim to be Christian is to get more followers and they actively go against everything their supposed religion teaches.
“Jesus would make them stand up on their own two feet and take care of their own problems!”
Lazarus: “Oh shit.”
As a non-religious person, this type of behavior annoys me.
Stereotypes be real lol
I mean, it’s a self-fulfilling consequence of a society that explicitly dictates every woman look like a potential 3rd wife / step-daughter the aging patriarch wants to fuck.
We’re all just living in Roman Polanski’s Chinatown
Well they’re wearing pictures of the weapon used to kill Jesus. Pretty obvious they’d want to kill him again if he showed up now. Plus he’s black.
Jesus was brown, not black.
if you wanna be pedantic, brown is not a race
There’s only one race - the human race.
this copypasta you’re regurgitating is nothing but ahistorical bs. the racial caste system was invented by European colonizers to divide the world into humans and non-humans(their colonial subjects such as enslaved Africans).
human is a social construct and is classified as a species. race is also a social construct but based on perceived phenotype rather than biology and since not all humans are grouped into the same phenotype under our white supremacist world order, it’s ignorant to claim we’re all the same race. it’s also an inherently anti-Black statement to make because it gaslights Black people’s lived realities of experiencing racism every single day precisely because they’re not white aka not part of your fantasy universal human race.
asserting that we all belong to the same race would only make sense if you believed that all humans are white.
Congratulations on being so incredibly righteous that you completely miss the point of the phrase.
I’m not gonna expand on the above sentence. Have a great life.
Ok…
Jesus: “Your love for others is how the world will know you follow me”
NatCs: “no! our hatred for minorities and golden crosses is how we will show our faith” 🤦🏼
Why is laezel in the middle?
(Side note, never knew this community is here, glad you all see that Jesus taught love and the MAGA brand of Christian’s are not preaching that. Happy Easter to you all!)
Well no true Scotsman and all that, but bible god is Jesus and is god as the no evidence claim goes, so in lore he’s pretty clearly pro slavery, women as property. You can try to deny that but I’ll just show you the bible, it’s not ambiguous about these matters.
Seems in line with MAGA and all of Christian history basically following after Rome popularized it under a dictatorship and making eternal punishment in hell the canon, counter to the early (first 500 years) church teachings in regards to afterlife.
Obey or burn forever, slavery is good actually, and women are my property does look like something a dictator would find appealing.
It’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.
You cannot serve both God and money.
Sell your possessions and give to the poor.
Be on your guard against all kinds of greed. Life does not consist in an abundance of possessions.
This is very easy to do.
— “If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.”
— “It is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.” (He says, to a woman begging for his help)
— That time he got mad and murdered a fig tree because he was hungry and it didn’t have any fruits.
— “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.” (He intentionally speaks in riddles so that some people go to hell)
— “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Punishment for thought crimes)
Jesus was not the perfect, just man you all pretend he was.
You can tall a lot about people by how they interpret the bible and which parts they choose to ignore.
Aren’t Christians supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who preached kindness, fought hypocrisy (“those without sin may cast the first stone”), encouraged self-accountability (“if your eye causes you to sin, cast it out”), and gave his life for the betterment of others?
God is an egotistical a-hole. He tested his followers in inhumane ways to prove their faith and devotion and used the fear of eternal suffering and damnation to enforce his will.
A Christian that reads the Bible and takes away the teachings of God but not Jesus is misguided at best.

Well lot of good old Christian’s voted for Cheeto ass.
Christians having to defend themselves explaining these are not real Christians. Is the same as Muslims explaining they are not radicals. To some extend Jews having to explain they don’t endorse the actions of the state of Israel.
Atheists: “Look, when you compare China to religious countries…”

Yes, Fox News is racist in hiring only blonde white women to spread their hateful propaganda, and yes, their audience is racist for falling for the lies more readily because they’re being told by a blonde white woman. Congratulations for noticing.

but to say that “every time” a blonde woman is on the air
On the air on Fox News
…while wearing a cross.
The meme wasn’t ambiguous on any of these points.
Oh fair, I prefer Racoon News myself
Pointing out that Fox News does racist things to appeal to racists is….racist?
Or are you a white person who’s doing performative “it’s akshully racist to point out when white racists do racist things because you’re pointing out their whiteness which is a race checkmate atheists!”
anti white racism is not a thing
Yes it is a thing, don’t be stupid. However, This post is not it.
Anti white discrimination is occasionally a thing. Anti white racism is not a thing because white isn’t a race.
By that standard racism isn’t a thing at all. Biologically there are no human races.
to add to this: whiteness is seen as the absence of race. a sort of default state for humanity. I don’t think many people believe this anymore (or, at least, not conscientiously) but that’s what those who created the concept of race thought.
racism was created by those same people to justify colonialism and slavery. humans are a cooperative species, so the human mind evolved to not cause pain to your fellow humans. so colonizers invented race, as a way to dehumanize other people, so they wouldn’t feel that discomfort, and could justify their horrors to themselves, to fellow colonizers, and to the people they were colonizing.
that’s why anti-white racism is not a thing: racism was invented by (those who would call themselves) white people, to oppress everyone else. anti-white racism as a concept makes as much sense as anti-men misogyny, or anti-straight homophobia.
racism was invented by (those who would call themselves) white people
You don’t know much about the world outside of the west, do you?
there are other xenophobic means of domination and oppression, but racism is a european invention (that was then spread worldwide through colonialism)
This is historically accurate in the United States
So no one was ever racist to Jewish people prior to white colonialism?
people weren’t racist, but they were absolutely antisemitic
This feels like “I can’t be homophobic because I’m not afraid of gay people.” I can’t wait for someone to insist they can’t possibly be racist because their hatred isn’t motivated by pseudoscience.
What about ancient Arab enslavement of black Africans?
“White” isn’t even actually a real thing. It’s a made up in group for conservatives to virtue signal with (in order to garner support for treating non-whites as “lesser” and claiming dominion over them)
Agreed, im Jewish and my “white” status strongly depends who im speaking to
