There Is No Hate Like Christian Hate​

I kept wishing he would turn, change lanes, and just go away. He would not. I was behind a hate-filled Christian. On his back windshield were two stickers. One was a scripture quote, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.” The other was Donald Trump dressed as Calvin from the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip urinating on the name Biden. If I was this person’s pastor, I would be ashamed.

All About The Hate​

Oddly enough, this is not about Trump or Biden. I am writing about the hatred expressed while trying to cover it with humor. We act as though bad conduct is excused by amusement. And that should bother every Christian. Cruel humor is still cruel no matter who laughs at it. Christian conduct does not allow for it.

I doubt the person is as excited by Trump as he is motivated by hating Biden. My guess is he supports Trump because he believes the former President is on his side. We tend to vote that way. Since the election in 2000, the right wing in American politics has steadily declined into hating for its own sake.

Anti-Hate​

If Muslim terrorists hate us, should we hate all Muslims? Answering this question is too hard for some American Christians. It is pitiful. Well, one may ask, is it alright to hate only the terrorists? President George W. Bush never once asked Americans to despise Muslims. Yet, certain Christian media outlets argued we should. My own parishioners continued to believe President Obama was a Muslim. It was easier for them to object to him for that than because he was black.

The fact is Muslims are scapegoated for the evils we see in our country. It is easier to hate than to admit responsibility and repent. After striking the servant of the High Priest to defend Jesus, Peter denied him three times. Why? Because he never repented his violence or pride. If we do that we lay aside bravado for courage.

Bravado and Love​

Bravado is a product of sinful pride. Love is therefore the opposite of bravado. We do not like believing we hate. Therefore we try covering our hate with expressions of love. We claim love of country to hate refugees. We say we love Jesus as an excuse to act hatefully against others we deem unchristian. These are expressions of pride or hubris so we can feel better about our desire to hate.

There are too many people claiming to be okay with Jewish people but hate “Zionists.” Believing we should kill as many children as possible to get at Hamas terrorists is insanity. The same attitude occurs when we attempt to minimize the suffering of one group by saying another group has suffered more.

Bravado is a lie. It is borne of pride and denies truth.

To The Person Driving In Front Of Me​

We are both human beings. Our perspectives are shaped by our experiences. I do not know yours. But no parent wants their children exposed to your hatefulness. I feel sorry for your children if you have them. While you are out here trying to appear humorous for people who think like you do, stop intimating you follow Jesus. It is not that one of your stickers is a lie, both are.

However, if you take the one about believing in Jesus seriously, please consider if your belief reflects your actions.

Muslims

It's pretty amazing how terrorist whitewashing this article does

 

[RA-5C Vigilante]

"No! Being a real Christian is all about forgiveness and turning the other cheek!" the "Progressive Christian" shrieks as she is stabbed to death by a Jihadist.

 

[Haramburger]

This is an incredible amount of seethe over a 30 year old car sticker that's only been slightly modified. Calvin peeing is truly an analog shitpost. Trying to wokescold a Christian over this is pathetic and hilarious.

 

[Smashed & Slamed]

If Muslim terrorists hate us, should we hate all Muslims?

It's not about hate you heretic, it's about self preservation. There is nothing wrong with defending yourself and those around you. You have this group that believes they need to spread their faith via the sword. Your options are convert, defend yourself or die. It's fine if you choose the die option, but Jesus said something about finding sticks in someone else's eye while you have branches in yours.

 

[mlanguishi]

A lot of people take this out of context. That it means to shake up the old order, not a direct physical violence threat. Otherwise, yeah of course Christians can hate others. So do leftists and athiests, even worse usually.

Matthew 10:34–36

Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

 

[Agamemnon Busmalis]

Believing we should kill as many children as possible to get at Hamas terrorists is insanity.

lol, the Psalms flat-out praise bashing the heads of Babylonian children against rocks. It works, kill all the children and your enemy dies off.

 

[Lone MacReady II]

There's no hate like Kikes choosing a Robber instead of Jesus.

 

[Male Idiot]

Peak cuck moment.

When the goyslop faith is so potent it turns on Slomo like a golem!

 

[Megaton Punch]

This is an incredible amount of seethe over a 30 year old car sticker that's only been slightly modified. Calvin peeing is truly an analog shitpost. Trying to wokescold a Christian over this is pathetic and hilarious.

You know that meme where a nerd walks by a jock who says something slightly offensive, then says "haha just kidding bro have a good one", then the nerd goes home and writes a seething post about it? This is literally that except in this case nobody even said anything to him. It's even more pathetic than the comic designed to make people like him look pathetic.

 

[LurkTrawl]

If I was this person’s pastor, I would be ashamed.

It's a good thing then isn't it, that you're not.

Every single time one of these types tries to act like this I just think of every time Joe "don't be married to your ideology maaaaaan" Rogan flips shit at a guest who is anti gay-marriage. Nobody's immune to being human.

 

[Positron]

And all because this pastor saw a windshield sticker that insults his idol. This pastor cannot forgive because he forgot what Jesus told him.

If I was this person’s pastor, I would be ashamed.

No, as a pastor you should pray for God to guide him lest his "hate" lead him astray, and for God to forgive you for not having the strength to forgive him.

Did Paul say he was "ashamed" that the people in the Corinthian church did so many unpleasant things, such as gay sex and marrying one's stepmother? No, yet here you are, gnashing your teeth because you saw a sticker of dubious taste!

>non-denominational Christian is a giant faggot

Birds fly and fish swim. Hate isn’t even a sin if you have good enough reason. It’s kind of a fault (basically Catholic way of saying watch your behavior). You basically need to just stop interacting with someone if you hate them, unless it’s an aggressive act on their part. The theology on that is fairly complex.

 

[6 Years Ago]

I wonder if this buttfuck specialist ever wonders why the only religion it's socially acceptable to shit on in a faggy little article like this is Christianity.

I fucking doubt it. If he did he wouldn't be what he is.

 

[WelperHelper99]

"No! Being a real Christian is all about forgiveness and turning the other cheek!" the "Progressive Christian" shrieks as she is stabbed to death by a Jihadist.

Well there is a lot of turning the other cheek. If you share a yard with your neighbor and he crossed the boundary when mowing by a inch and chopped that inch of grass shorter than you would have liked, you don't go chop his arms off.

But there are times when action is warranted. Someone breaks into your house, you defend yourself. You are allowed to fight back when the situation demands.

So I looked up the author, "Reverend" C. Don Jones, and I shit you not, this interview with "Red Angel Sophia" was one of the first results:

The Sophia dude apparently writes Reddit-Atheist "hymns", real cringey "in this moment, I am enlightened" stuff. Blasphemy ahead:

[Curzon Dax-sama]

If Muslim terrorists hate us, should we hate all Muslims?

Yes, but not for their terrorism. No, they should be hated by white people for the subversive cryptokikes they are.

 

[!Felid_Transmuter!?]

The bible explicitly warns of false teachers like this many times. Preachers are held to a higher standard because they have the ability to influence their flock.

 

[indomitable snowman]

I can feel the hate and contempt for conservatives emanating from the article that this person has.

 

[MurderGuaranteed]

I don't think this article has to be Archive'd. Christians are shameless about everything and a megachurch funds that website. Ain't no way they'd take that down.
