    I think maybe someone should convert Trump to Christianity.

    Trump or christians in general… if those folks actually behaved as their own religion instructed, things would… well, honestly still be pretty fucked; but significantly less fucked than they are today!

      I think society would be pretty good if the people who identified as Christian actually acted accordingly

        I mean, there’s still shit like the promotion of slavery, stoning of gays, and subjugation of women that would lead us into a lot of the same issues we’re having today; but without the plethora of other to keep us all distracted, we’d probably have made a lot more progress against even those remaining few.

        So, better, but still not good.

          The Bible doesn’t promote slavery or the subjugation of women, the stonings are the old levitical law.

              That’s not promoting slavery. It’s addressing slavery that’s already happening.

              Also worth mentioning this isn’t like chattel slavery

                    That is a lie. Acknowledging that it’s happening is addressing it. Addressing the slaves directly and telling them to be obedient is promoting it.

                    The Bible does the latter.

                    Put those instructions in any other context: if I told the kids trafficked to Epstein’s island to give Trump the best blowjob they could, would I be addressing pedophilia or promoting it? If you were being chased by a man wielding a knife, and I told you to stop running and just let him stab you to death, would I be addressing murder, or promoting it? If I told my political representatives to keep sending bombs to Israel for them to continue turning Gaza into a crater, would I be addressing genocide, or promoting it?

                    The Bible advocates for some evil shit.
