I don't know about Christianity, but these people clearly do not understand "government". In this country, the government is Us, the people. The work the government does is our work, using our money to do what we need done, whether that's building roads and schools, assuring our safety or assuring our health and well-being. It's sharing the load in order to get things done.
There is also the first amendment, which guarantees us freedom of religion. I belong to one of those liberal protestant denominations that these so-called Christians hate. Oh, and I think they’re the ones who depict Jesus carrying an M-16.
I guarantee they don’t understand Biblical Christianity either. Theirs is a very narrow and self-serving version at the least, and seems to completely leave Jesus Christ completely out of the picture.
No more Taylor Farm salads will enter my home!! Perhaps it’s God’s will that Iran will triumph over Trump government?? that Trump will collapse and will Vance assume presidency for remainder of term? That the world’s natural resources, water, food supplies will be depleted or destroyed? These faux “Christians “ are nutty.
The best proof that god does not exist is the fact that someone like Dollinger, or Trump, can make the claims they do without being struck by a bolt of heavenly lightning.
I feel like I have to wash my brain after reading Dollinger's interpretations of the New Testament writings.
The thing is, they seem to be very sincere about their praise the lord BS, yet see no inconsistencies in that with what the teachings of Jesus were. It's hideous.
I don't recall anything in the New Testament endorsing the accumulation of wealth or political power, or directing the faithful to ignore the needs of the sick, blind, disabled, imprisoned, poor, or children. I do recall something about the first shall be last and the last shall be first, about how impossible it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven, about how doing something good for the "least of these" is doing it for Jesus. Maybe my memory is faulty?
Christian nationalism isn't about salvation, redemption, christian dogma, or any of that kind of stuff. It's about dominance and control. Christian nationalists - nationalist christians - natCs - Nazis.
I’ve enjoyed your books. Frank Figliuzzi had a great video highlighting how these catastrophes were approached in the old days when multiple agencies detected and dealt with outbreaks before they became a noticeable problem. Taylor farms is in cahoots with the orange mussolini and has been in trouble with this parasite before. Agencies that watch out for cyclospora have been chainsawed - guess who. The “apology” for the false positive test was based on one of many samples, the remainder of which were true positives. So, the zone was flooded with one apology yet the recall continued. These orange mussolini assholes are all butt f*ing each other with cover ups. Let me tell you, if your rectum gets torn, it bleeds long and hard and is difficult to stop. I can’t wait to see the blood in the streets. Of course, maybe the chain saw will, alone, mess up the true criminals. I’ve told my chainsaw story before. A friend of mine took care of a patient in the ER who had his trachea lacerated when a chainsaw kicked back. He was gurgling and dying in his own blood (pretty big arteries and veins in your neck, kind of close to that pumping heart). Too much blood to see the opening in his mouth to the trachea so she stuck the breathing tube in the hole the patient created. She still charged him for the intubation even though a monkey could have done what she did :) The patient lived - I hope to never ever climb a ladder with a chainsaw again.
Even the Jewish people in B.C. Israel were committed to helping the poor, especially widows. Forgive me if I can’t cite chapter and verse. Someone in this thread will. It’s clear to me that the Christian Nationalists don’t bother to include Matthew 25 in their Bible studies. I had an Islamic patient who converted from Christianity who participated in the same activities in her mosque that my Baptist church does. Now, I’m a Southern Baptist, and probably everyone knows that Southern Baptists will not have a woman pastor, doctrine with which I disagree. There were women leaders in early Christianity. Read Paul’s letters. The idea that we should not have a social net for the poor and disabled goes against Christianity. These Christians who own Taylor Farms are not followers of Jesus. The very idea that Taylor Farms would be protected lf their lettuce potentially carried this pathogen because they were major donors to the Republican Party sickens me.

Thanks to the author for connecting the dots between white Christian nationalism and explosive diarrhea! Now it's not just metaphorical!

This is an eye-opener for me. They certainly don't care about Jesus teachings - aberrant? They're just plain cut throat.
There you have it.
God isn't speaking to these men — ego is.
🤬 maybe when they post the 10 Commandments in every classroom, they should also devote some wall space to the Beatitudes.
I once lived in Tulare. I had no choice, I was in high school. What I don’t understand is how my brother can stay there after 60 years.
religion as business...true forever
Religion should come with a warning label that it will harm your health even when taken in small doses.

Personally, I think that God's Will is for us to call them out for the insecure, lying sleaze bags they all are.
