I’m not going to pretend religion hasn’t been used as an excuse to do a lot of awful shit throughout history, but in terms of actually following the teachings of Christ, Republicans are about as far as you can get from them. Loving thy neighbor, welcoming the stranger from another land, flipping over tables and chasing the money changers with a whip – so on and so on. And I’m an agnostic who’s never read the bible proper, merely snippets, so if I know this shit better than they do, yeah, nah. They’re not Christians, they’re “Christians”.
no, he’s a “christian”
