    It’s more a statement of the state of Christianity in the United States, where in a lot of congregations the actual teachings of Jesus have taken a back seat to gun culture and right wing politics.

    She’s saying that the Japanese are better Christians than Americans, despite not even being Christians.

      “Beat your swords into plowshares,” says Isaiah. Yet, here we are, with congregations of people who feel that “there’s nothing wrong with being a soldier.”

      God’s first commandment? Yeah apparently that doesn’t mean shit if the other party is a stinky brownskin. I do not see a legal addendum on the Ten Commandments.

      “1. Thou Shalt Not Kill ***†”

      ***† only in participating stores, offer good til Labor Day, see appendix for list of people it’s totally cool to kill

        I’m with you, but you’re talking about something like the 6th commandment depending on how you’re counting

        Edit: the first one is the “you shall have no other gods before me” bit, with the lines drawn for exactly where each commandment starts and stops drawn in different places for different factions, but I digress. I still agree with your point and I’ll stop typing more now.

          So about the first commandment. The idiots have trump. I won’t talk about revelations, because how many hundreds of years nerd to go by to write “yawehs” word.
