If you're a cult member/leader who commits sexual abuse, you're gonna have a great time.

[GenesisNemesis]

If you're a survivor of sexual abuse? Bad time. And to any dumbass who can't connect the dots, they would claim real victims are false accusers anyway.

 

[Angry Floof]

Is this pastor going to have any power in the administration?

 

[Shadowy Man]

Does he support public executions for all the other things that his Bible says are to be punishable by death?

 

[southernhybrid]

Where in the Christian holy book does it say to execute liars, assuming any woman actually lies about being sexually assaulted? Enquiring minds want to know.

Whatever happened to the stuff like:

Matthew 5:43-48
​

Love for Enemies​

43&nbsp;“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew 5:43-48&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-23278a" title="See footnote a">a</a>] and hate your enemy.’ 44&nbsp;But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45&nbsp;that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46&nbsp;If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47&nbsp;And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48&nbsp;Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Obviously, the right wing Christian Nationalists haven't read their holy book.

Maybe not but there is a culture of lawlessness and vile behavior spreading. Either way this isn't good for victims of sexual abuse. We do know people as crazy as him will be in the coming administration. And Project 2025 opens the door for things like this to happen.

you could probably make money selling empty notebooks with a “Holy Bible” cover.

Hopefully, enough people will prevent the worst from happening, but I thank you for bringing that organization to our attention. It's good to know that more people are becoming organized to drive attention to these horrible plans and work to fight against it. The ACLU is also working hard to fight a lot of the far right plans

Only if they were signed by Trump, and of course, made in China with a fake leather cover.

Who in particular? Be specific.

What parts of P2025 "open the door for things like this to happen?". Be specific

True. That's why I wanted to know.

Meek Jesus is out. Revelation 19 Jesus is in: sharp sword sticking out of his mouth, ruling with an iron rod. Although how he's going to talk with a sword coming out of his mouth, only his dad knows.
The Christian Right owns the belligerence and intolerance of Trump. Anyone who would follow this man who poses as a Christian and turns thousands of migrant children into orphans, who slanders and name-calls anyone who criticizes him, uses Presidential language like shit, bastard, and motherfucker on stage (Christians, go ahead and have your children watch this man's rally videos -- you'll raise kids who are as crude and hatefilled as you are) owns his derangement. Supposedly Clinton was the Christian's object lesson about the importance of character. They are blind to the destructive nature of lies and hatred that are all that Trump brings to the stage.

By in large, Christians do not understand the contents of the Bible.

Once Christianity was made the state religion by Rome, and with the procession of popes, the people of "bad faith" made a bad faith of Christianity like some Eldridge horror wearing a skin suit.

Of course they haven't read their book. They are encouraged not to, not the least reason of which it says repeatedly "sell all you own and give it to the poor".

I agree that no Christian that I've ever heard of sold all their own and gave it to the poor, but my evangelical mother read her Bible everyday and did donate to a lot of charities. Sadly, she also gave 10 percent to her evangelical hell fire and damnation church. I never could understand how she was swept up into that type of cult, when I was a young child.

She despised Trump and was very upset when I told her he was president while she was in the early stages of dementia. Each Christian is an individual. Some are awful, while some are kind, and charitable. My Black Christians friends are usually the nicest, most generous ones. My poorest Black Christian friend is probably the most generous. Maybe you have to be poor to fully understand some of these things. Now we are facing a government run by Christian billionaires who are full of greed.

Change something mostly pretty good with just a little bit of well-placed compromise to those values and you can in fact invent some of the *darkest* things imaginable, far darker than an "honest evil": evil that people mistake for goodness
