Most importantly, christian religion. I can only imagine the hysteria if some department head sent an agency wide Ramadan message or something.
There are unconfirmed reports that soldiers were being told the war with Iran was being justified with the Second Coming of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Apparently there are evangelical sects that believe the only way Jesus will appear is by forcing Iran and Russia to attack Israel.
Evangelicals took Christianity and circles back around to pagan idea. They literally think they can summon their god.
It’s also evident when they talk about how weather events are linked to sinful behavior. Their idea of god is something that can be controlled through gay sex.
They are of course incapable of the logical thinking to understand how blasemous their own behavior is towards the Christian god.
The Bible I read definitely had something to say about nobody except god knowing when jesus was supposed to come back.
Certainly never said you could summon God with a blood sacrifice.
Then again, most Christians have never read the Bible. If they had, they would probably be like me and no longer believe.
I remember getting in an argument with a rather strident xtian and he questioned where I got my “information” from. I said: from your Bible [1], and pointed him in the direction of skeptic’s annotated bible.
His reply: “of course you’d use a resource like this”. Did it matter to him that it is annotating phrases from his supposedly revealed text? No, it did not. Having the word “skeptic” in there put him off of it and so, therefore, he just declared victory, I guess, LOL. A whole lot of xtians seem to think that “skeptic” is the same as “cynic” as a term.
[1] He was one of those annoying xtians - and probably everyone has run into them, because they seem to be everywhere - they often resort to one of the most presumptuous phrases in the English language and it’s: “read your Bible”.
It’s presumptuous as fuck to assume I own a Bible. It’s also presumptuous as fuck to assume that there is only one version of “the” bible - because there is not. And lastly, it’s especially presumptuous because it seems to take as evident that the person saying it has read a version of “the” Bible, when odds are quite high that if they read it at all, it was select passages in a study group or something like that.
In his case it was especially ridiculous since he refused to even read his Bible at the prompting of something with the term “skeptic” in it, LOL.
That shit was going on in the 80s back when I was on active duty.
The military has long had some of it at particular facilities — the Air Force academy is notorious. But it’s long been illegal, and was quite rare outside the military.
I thought there were multiple confirmations on that
The xtians are known for have fainting spells not only over a message from a competing Abrahamic religion, but they are known for getting the vapors over what this country was actually founded on: freedom not only of religion, but FROM religion.
This type of xtian seems to think that we only have freedom “of” to pick among several pre-approved Protestant strains. Catholics might be begrudgingly tolerated…for now.
Its christofascism
Definitely christian nationalism
Or pagan or Satanist.
