#FakeChristian trending now on Twitter.





Mrs. Betty Bowers
@BettyBowers
Mike Pence has always been more ambitious than smart, more pious than caring. So it is fitting that he is now the best-known face of #FakeChristianity.

Congratulations, @VP on your well-deserved fame -- & for temporarily dethroning your very competitive rival, Jerry Falwell, Jr

Leviticus 19:33,34
“When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.”

Someone remind #FakeChristian @VP. Please.


Look at the absolute cowardice on display here. Not one of these men - @VP, @LindseyGrahamSC, @SenMikeLee @SenThomTillis -have the moral courage or common human decency to actually walk up to the human beings on the other side of the fence and talk to them.

A pathetic display.

New video shows severe overcrowding of men in cages at Texas detainment facility during VP Pence's visit Friday.

A group of men detained behind chain link fencing shouted to news cameras, "No shower, no shower!"

They were looking at them exactly the way they portray, them like animals! Pence is the ring leader! #FakeChristian

Or say "it wasnt 6 million". I always want to ask them, "OK, so it wasnt 6 million. So FIVE million is ok? FOUR million? How many million is low enough to say "it didnt happen"?"

America fought a war against the Nazis and supposedly won.

Yet here they are in Charlottesville marching to "take back America".

KKK Conservative boasting:

“We killed six million Jews the last time,” he answered. “Eleven million is nothing.”

13. Look at his body posture.
Sat Jul 13, 2019, 07:36 PM
Jul 2019

He is completely closed off from this event. His arms are crossed tightly across his chest. He is even standing as though puffed up. He is looking OVER the heads of these men, not even looking at them in a general sense or making eye-contact with any of them. Then he turns his body away from them and in the direction of the BP guard talking. At no time does he engage in any conversation with the people behind the fences.

He is refusing to see these men as human beings.

Then he has the temerity to say that the NEWS is not telling the truth.

Mike -- DON'T EVER CALL YOURSELF A CHRISTIAN AGAIN. Like trump, you're just an opportunistic disease.

“fake Christianity” and “real” Christianity. Both are based entirely on lies and myths, both allow for the believer to elevate fiction and superstition over fact to fit their personal and/or political agenda, and both are conceits that should be abhorred by rational people.

Fuck em both.

of American society when it comes to religious choice...or nonchoice.

BTW, at one point in our history, going down the road of giving women and blacks the vote was a case of “seeing how many votes you’d win over.”

As far as my “opinion,” I have two words for anyone making a religious claim: prove it.

When asked "what religion do you believe in?" easily elicits a "none" response from someone who feels no affiliation or attachment to a specific religion, but still believe in God. Nondenominational churches are the fastest growing segment of the religious world.
The reverse is also true; you cannot prove they are wrong. There is plenty of proof of the existence of Jesus, Mohammed etc. Proving miraculous acts is another thing.

Sun Jul 14, 2019, 09:49 AM

and the Gospels can hardly be considered proof of anything.

St Paul did not believe in a corporeal Jesus. He believed Jesus was a spirit. And Paul is responsible for most of the writings in the NT. Why most believers are unaware of this fact is beyond me.

The Unbelievable Hell Inside El Salvador’s Prisons

The Attorney General’s Office is the only institution that has access to these prisons under these extraordinary measures. The government has decided to deny access to the public, including the International Committee of the Red Cross.
