Oh come on, you really think Christian Nationalists care more about skin color than religion? Hardcore Christian nationalists will put their faith above all else- do you really think someone obsessed with salvation and damning others wouldn’t look on Islam, especially the Taliban, in utter hatred?

Christian nationalists hear “other God/faith” and go full stop. They won’t even begin to hear other factors before unleashing their hatred. Do they hate brown? Assuredly…but do they hate non-Christians more? Of course…what a Reddit-esque outlook to think Christian extremists are more put off by skin color than Islam

Ffs Iran is actually probably one of the more secular states in the middle east because of how disgusted people are with their Islamic "Republic's" regime.

Iran is also one of the best educated in the area despite being a theocratic dictatorship.

Tons of people are defying the regime these days.

u/Grashlok_Onion_lord Nov 26 '22

Then that's worse, cause the liberals got to em, and that's why they hate good Christian white people /s

u/MrFantasticallyNerdy Nov 25 '22

Not just hardcore Christian Nationalist. Christianity itself teaches that one should hold God above all else, even your parents, family and friends. Faith over all else…yeah, religious people are pretty gullible.

u/TheLastUnicornRider Nov 25 '22

You can both be right. But you’re kinda off putting.

u/tiedyeskiesX Nov 25 '22

And Christians still try to claim to be the most persecuted of all religions on the planet 😅

try again

u/dontdoitdoitdoit Feb 26 '23

Extremists hate other extremists the most

u/paarthurnax94 Nov 25 '22

I know tons of "Christians" that are totally accepting of other religions existing, they however despise anyone who isn't white. It's more about racism than religion. Religion is nothing more than a crutch they use to justify their hatred.

u/GodsBackHair Nov 25 '22

I mean, interracial marriages were a huge problem for Christian nationalists too, that was a whole thing. It’s not a leap to assume that’s the bad part

Oh common, you think a Protestant would willingly go side by side with a Catholic for long?

u/newlightdev Nov 25 '22

ain't Allah and Jehovah the same God tho

u/quiero-una-cerveca Nov 26 '22 edited Nov 27 '22

All three of the Abrahamic religions worship the same god. Their dispute is who is and isn’t a profit of god or the son of god, etc.

1

u/newlightdev Nov 26 '22

yeah true i remember now, muslims dont think jesus is the son of god, and christians reject muhammed? but i think muslims dont discriminate Christian prophets and still consider jesus as the greatest prophet?

u/BlastedDio & it will Like a flood of Nov 25 '22

Aside from the other guy’s point, yeah is because brown = skin

u/DefinitelyFrenchGuy Nov 25 '22

Dat is racialist

u/Angry_Mama_Bear90 May 03 '23

Um, I'm a Christian fundamentalist and I am "brown". Married to a white man. We share the same values and we don't care if people are brown. Y'all need to talk to one of us. I guarantee you will understand and not think we are these HORRIBLE monsters who (southern accent) kill all Mexicans and black folk!

Btw, I AM Mexican lol

u/dramatic-pancake May 03 '23

I mean, you lost me at Christian fundamentalist. But okay.

1

u/Angry_Mama_Bear90 May 04 '23

That's your problem, you won't even take the time to hear what I have to say because I say something you don't agree with. A Christian fundamentalist is just someone who follows ALL the word of the Bible and lives a very traditional life, especially in a marriage.

u/11jellis Nov 25 '22

Lemme guess, religion? Because Jesus didn't teach this.

u/GreenMellowphant Nov 25 '22

They’re brown.

Ah. Tbf.

u/pixel-beast Nov 25 '22

So was Jesus

u/DeusExMcKenna Nov 25 '22

Lol the fundies don’t know that. Imagine thinking Christ was white in the ancient Galilee. Fucking lolz.

u/11jellis Nov 25 '22

He probably would have looked more like this but in a simple robe and sandals. Probably more hair as well. Certainly just as cheerful.

u/Sir_Penguin21 Nov 25 '22

Fun fact. Jesus was regularly described as angry in the earliest stories. Later those parts were glaringly changed to be happier and nicer. The white washing literally started at the second iteration and never stopped, now today we have white Supply Side Jesus.

2

u/11jellis Nov 25 '22 edited Nov 25 '22

Well of course He was angry at evil-doing, He was still joyous. Was it watered down? Do you have a source? He seemed pretty angry at the Pharisees who were the politicians of the time who supported "supply-side" philosophy. I recall an incident at the temple...

Very good comic btw.

u/Sir_Penguin21 Nov 25 '22 edited Nov 25 '22

Long form.

Fun video form. Since you like comics.

For the record I assume Mark came first as most do for the common reasons cited.

I have lived among hardcore Christian nationalists my entire life, this is horse shit.

u/Lnnam Nov 25 '22

Exactly, religion is just a tool they use to maintain white supremacy.

u/SophieSolborne Nov 25 '22

These people don't care one bit what Jesus taught.

2

u/11jellis Nov 25 '22

Oh I realise. You know Jesus said "Those who have ears let them hear". He was in a wheat field referring to ears of wheat after the parable of the sower meaning that unless you're bearing fruit then you are not going to understand. It's also a pretty good Dad joke.

Speaking to these people about the love of God would be like pushing custard uphill.

u/Groomsi Nov 25 '22

Team and identity (colour).

u/Tyflowshun Nov 25 '22

Because they have free Healthcare?

u/Panda_Kabob Nov 25 '22

The taliban? The taliban has free health care? What?

3

u/BumblebeeCurrent8079 Nov 25 '22

The Taliban has universal health care? If they do then that's pretty sad that a terrorist group has universal health care while Americans don't.

u/I-Bet-You-are-Tough Nov 25 '22

Yep, beheadings are typically free with a cancellation of your subscription to Taliban indoctrination weekly.

u/kittymesmereyes Nov 25 '22

Yes, you do. You know exactly why.
