While Trump's remarks dominate the headlines about the event, more concerning Christian Nationalist comments came a few minutes later.

    It’s a shame they won’t be dying for a Christian nation then.

    Didn’t these people condemn Islam for that 20 years ago.

    Also I thought protestants thought salvation was free

      Of course they condemned Islam for that. It’s Islam.

      For Christianity, it’s different for the evangelicals.

    That one scene from Kingdom of Heaven where a random kid is announcing “To kill an infidel, the pope has said is not murder, it is the path to heaven!”

    Like I have always said, they WILL kill you, and feel righteous while doing so. That’s why religions have been so successful over the centuries. They will die and think that’s going to be a reward…

    And we have graciously allowed them to not pay taxes, and support these “faiths”. Obscene

    Croaking for a Christian Nation? Here’s a single finger salute. Let me guess, the casket will be draped with a fucking MAGA flag.

      Conservatives spent the last quarter century screaming “Muslims are the worst, they’re going to kill us all!”

      Liberals smugly retorted “Actually you Christians are slightly worse”, and then proceeded to shit the bed in the next 9 of 12 elections.

      The moral they took away from this story is that a woman should never run for president.

      I think it’s more likely that they realize that Christianity is complete nonsense, but so many Americans believe it that they use it to control the masses.

    Oh good. I would hate to make it all the way to lunch time without being reminded that this country is run by mid popcorn movie villains.

    This is not a complaint about the OP. This is a complaint about stupid evil people in positions of power, and their enablers.
