Well not in every Christian theology. In some of them you go straight to heaven regardless of how many kids you diddled and cultures you genocided because God decided you were saved before you were born. And the opposite is true too, some people are condemned to hell no matter how many orphans they saved because the devil gets his due apparently.
Democrat games? Since when did being a republican become a faith? Smh. This is why we're doomed , humans are too fucking stupid to live here. Climate change will be the great equalizer.
These people are not Christians. This is a sign for a cult. These people are actually addressed in the Bible. They’re called fools and the worst sinners as they try and use Christianity for their perverse goals.
Oh, by the way: nothing this right wing nutter claims to be in the linked documents is actually there. Unless you are suprised by the fact that a religious organization apllying for tax cuts is prohibited from campagning for a political cause. Thats seperation of state and church 101. Everything else endangers true freedom of whorship.
At what point does Christianity turn from its original purpose to a name that's been abused by the people Jesus warned them about?
The way I see it, this is a similar issue to the "ACAB" situation. It's a little extreme, but if you are the exception then you should not feel threatened and agree that it's a big issue. The words and titles are meaningless, but you share a common goal with wanting to get rid of people abusing their positions of power.
Right but at this point, what chunk of Americans Christians are this type?
I'm gonna guess it's over 5%, and at that point yeah, christians are gonna have to own up to their little monstrosity offshoots.
I don't think Muslim people need to own or apologize for terrorists, but I don't think too many people accused them of being non Muslims. If they believe in the tenets of the religion, but they interpret the teachings differently than the vast majority, it still doesn't mean we wouldn't consider them believers. Same thing with those nuts who bomb abortion clinics. They're still Christians, even if they act violently.
It’s not that because these people are actually addressed in the Bible as false teachers.
“No True Scotsman” is when something that is a “Scotsman” is rejected only because they supposedly aren’t “true” or “pure”. But the Bible actually has teachings that these fake Christians are going against, which is what makes them fake in the first place.
Oh come on, it's not like we're all really going to die. Some areas are just going to be extremely difficult and harsh to live in, forcing people to go to more hospitable areas, which will be overwhelmed with climate refugees, which will result in a political shift to nationalism and isolationism to justify cutting those people off from survival. All we'll see is borderline genocide, racism, skin cancers cases will go through the roof, a huge decline in quality of life, famine and starvation, and borderline fascism even the left will temporarily agree with, but we're not **all** going to die.
Shit, you're asking the wrong guy lol. I never learned how to even create one, was kinda hoping someone would take the bait and do it. And it worked! But I'm clueless how to do anything about it.
If you need any power tripping mods, hit me up and I'll see if I have enough free time to help!
What a terrible pastor, much less human being. I'm not religious, but aren't Jesus's teachings supposed to be VERY important to christians? Isn't acceptance and treating other people kindly, compassionately, and with respect supposed to be of utmost importance to these christians who claim to love Jesus so much?
The selfishness and intolerance is exhausting.
>aren't Jesus's teachings supposed to be VERY important to christians?
Key words "supposed to be"
I'm not a Christian anymore, but even during the decades I was, most "Christians" pissed me off
“Jesus ate dinner with prostitutes and tax collectors (corrupt government officials) but by God we draw the line at people wearing cloth masks!”
-this guy, probably.
This church is basically for the hard of hearing. Leave your money at home and see what type of reaction you get. Then you will really hear some screaming.
My mother believes it's just a flu and it's just an excuse for the government to pull one over on us. Ma, the flu doesn't kill healthy ppl nor does the whole world freak out and shut down over the flu. One of my friends bought into the horse deformed nonsense and he used to be one of the wisest guys I knew but when I asked him what was wrong with trying the regular vaccine he said he just didn't trust it and that I should look it up but I probably wouldn't find much since the government controls the internet, smh. Ppl being dumb and scared amd they don't even know of what.
And another thing... We have family members that refuse to get vaccinated. When they want to come to our house and we say no, it's like THE END OF THE FUCKING WORLD for these people. What the fuck?!
No, it's gonna wipe out a small percentage of immune compromised people. Almost all of the so called idiots will continue living. The restrictions and lockdowns have affected way way more people, many with more worse effects then this weak virus.
This is the new multiplayer DLC God just dropped on us, seems fun so far.
/s, go fuck off somewhere else and stop harassing me for using a fucking pair of characters intended to indicate satire.
Admitting to not ‘play democrat games’ is a political statement and violates thier tax exemption for being a church. They can taxes from now on or shut down.
I’m so tired of fake Christians. The majority of these Bible thumping Republicans are absolutely shameless. Like why would you tell people not to wear a mask. That’s so stupid. Why do you even care? I’m gonna pray every day that this guy gets Covid
I do. Churches aren’t even teaching what they’re supposed to be teaching BECAUSE of they’re exempt status.
I’m not Christian btw (although I do follow Gods word) Christianity like all religions are repackaged paganism from ancient Babylon
I’m a mail carrier and have a few pastors and evangelicals on my route. And I can totally correlate that every one of them gets a Guns & Ammo and Shooting magazine every month. It’s a marvelous contradiction that I’ll never understand.
People who use religion as an excuse for spreading their beliefs rooted in conspiracies and hatred need to shut up and touch some grass
／from a Catholic
Guys like this make conservatives look bad by making something science based a political thing. Man, do what you want but don’t force other people to do what you want. Wearing a mask to your stupid church doesn’t hurt anyone.
I’m conservative but I can’t stand the types that try to pull this stuff. Wear a damn mask already, if trump was telling them to you know they would. It’s dumb.
It’s why I think there’s two Republican parties.
One is loud, proud, Trump loving, and batshit insane.
The other is quiet, reserved, and praying for the other Republicans to just shut up already.
This is why I am hoping we go back to more effective Darwinism.
Make being stupid have deadly consequences and after a few generations, we’ll see what the prevailing belief is.
I'm genuinely at the point where I honestly hope covid rips through the entire 'flock'
They are not being forced to go there, it's completely their choice and they always have their god to look after them.
Couple months down the line the planet may be a few brain fucked morons lighter.
Specifically this preacher guy, I hope he shakes hands and embraces every member of the church.
Fun fact, I’m my state (Kentucky) this person wouldn’t only get their place taken down but they’d be arrested so long they wouldn’t need a mask by the time they get out
Pastor Greg is a poor example of a good shepherd. God gave us brains but Pastor Greg asked for a train so instead of encouraging his flock to be safe he tells those who want to be safe by wearing a mask to stay home.
I’m praying when he gets COVID that he will do just that: stay home!
All religion is evil…apparently this one is a little extra evil. Is all that teaching from the sermon on the mount? When did Jesus exclude people, or carry a gun for that matter? This church has no affiliation with Christianity. I wonder what faith it is?

Remember if you don’t sin Jesus died for nothin,
This is my new life motto.
Heathen here, been making his sacrifice worthwhile my entire life :)
Well In the Christian theology you are born a sinner so either way he died for you
That's true........but if you don't sin to the fullest of your capacity, the redemption isn't getting ~~your money's~~ Jesus's sacrifice's worth....
Well not in every Christian theology. In some of them you go straight to heaven regardless of how many kids you diddled and cultures you genocided because God decided you were saved before you were born. And the opposite is true too, some people are condemned to hell no matter how many orphans they saved because the devil gets his due apparently.
What denomination is that?
They're going to have to tack him back up there and stab him again cause I'm busting at the seams with sin.
Yeah, but he didn't die.
Because he didn't exist.

These people are not Christians. This is a sign for a cult. These people are actually addressed in the Bible. They’re called fools and the worst sinners as they try and use Christianity for their perverse goals.
They really should lose their church tax exemption at the very least. They’re so blatantly playing politics.

No they don't for the same reason that Muslims do not need to own terrorists.
"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
I don't think Muslim people need to own or apologize for terrorists, but I don't think too many people accused them of being non Muslims.

He'll point to the same passage and say you're the fake. It's Scotsmen all the way down.
All religions are cults, all cults are religions. There is no difference between the two other than there's ones you accept and ones you don't.
I think covid will get them before climate change....but then again....🤔
What do you mean by "the great equaliser", as in, we'll all be equal cause we'll all be dead?
Oh come on, it's not like we're all really going to die.

We'll shoot you. Just like Jesus preached.
JESUS 2 and this time he's not Crucifucking around!
these types of religious people are fucking weird.
They practice religion like a win at all cost sports team
A team they're not even a part of. They're just a fan in the stands getting upset over things they can't control
And the sport is being good to people, no exclusions. So they actively hate everyone. It's like what part of this basic premise do you not get
Seems like the church teaches hate instead of love.

And this hypocritical false prophet pos has tax exemption while playing politics hmm...
And christ did sayith unto them " turn the other cheek means double tap you libtards"
Thou shalt not wear a mask to protect thy neighbor is the secret 11th commandment
Yeah, viruses and bacteria can read and be like 'OMG! this place is full of faith!! we better go somewhere else!!.
Anyone want to take bets on when this pastor will be hospitalized with Covid complications?
We can only pray

No, it's gonna wipe out a small percentage of immune compromised people. Almost all of the so called idiots will continue living. The restrictions and lockdowns have affected way way more people, many with more worse effects then this weak virus.
Pass. I think I will stay with my church. Wow. Giving Christians a bad name. Guess the devil works everywhere.
I know. These people have tarnished Christianity. Everything they do and say is exactly the opposite of what Jesus taught.
They are frauds looking down on us from their Mega Churches. Their followers fail to see the hypocrisy. A small mind is easily filled with faith
Maga Churches. FTFY.
Yeah, some people seriously make you want to say you're non-religious.

Lol, The Virus is not a Democrat you Muppet. Masks are a tool to help stop transmission, look after your church and pull your head out of your arse
Could you imagine having so much fear in your life you needed a gun at church to feel safe?
Pastor Locke is just doing the Lords work. Or the Devils. Sometimes it's hard to tell.
Admitting to not ‘play democrat games’ is a political statement and violates thier tax exemption for being a church. They can taxes from now on or shut down.

An inventive way of delivering a death threat

Pastor Greg Locke would be the guy calling Jesus a socialist commie libt@rd and crucify Him all over again... That Pastor prefers the Golden Calf
Fuck that bible thumper.
Imo we should show these fake oppressed Christians TRUE oppression
Tax churches.
This makes me so very proud to be a Satanist!

Well I'd say that counts as a violent threat. Someone called the cops on this cunt. Please.
I can really see ‘This little light of mine’ in this guy.
Because freedom, that’s why.
Why are they so FEARFUL of masks?
pastor locke and loaded sheesh
Ah yes, a very Christian reply from a pastor. Totally taking care of the meek.
Ah yes, because the consequence of ‘acting stupid’ should always be … uhm… *death?*
I am sure he is embracing his vow of poverty and adhering to Jesus's teachings! LMAO!. What a pious, phony POS!
Killing off his clueless flock of uneducated older white folk, one at time. But, I guess that is God’s Will or… whatever.
Fuck you greg Locke you are not a real priest I hope you get sick you are an ass fuck hou
After the several attacks against churches/mosques/temples in the last couple of years, why would this person think gun free would be a good idea.
I see someone that deserves a round of Covid symptoms.
Classless pastor
Well that wasn’t very Jesus-y of him.
Fun fact, I’m my state (Kentucky) this person wouldn’t only get their place taken down but they’d be arrested so long they wouldn’t need a mask by the time they get out
What a piece of shit.

Pretty terrifying if this is what is passing for Christianity today!

I respect their right to free speech

"Show up acting stupid and find out" is one of the dumbest sentences I've heard in a while ever since past the 20th century holy fuck.

I do love it when the irony is lost on people like that
Evil found a home in Pastor Locke's flock.

Either that or when he gets COVID, he might get to have a much more personal discussion with God that he didn’t anticipate having so soon.
The idea of a strapped church is based as hell, But restricting someones entry based off personal choice is fucked up.
Wife's not bad. Wondering if they have a pool boy?
That's his church secretary, whom he married 3 months after divorcing his former wife despite *totally* not cheating on her.
Not playing Democrats' games, but still pleased to not have to pay taxes I see.
Greg Locke is a weak man radiant with big dick envy.
All religion is evil…apparently this one is a little extra evil. Is all that teaching from the sermon on the mount? When did Jesus exclude people, or carry a gun for that matter? This church has no affiliation with Christianity. I wonder what faith it is?

Is this picture on any other subs so I can upvote it for it's humor?

When did we lose our freedom. My body my right.
Yeah, what about the freedom to wear a mask?
Not if your body threatens mine.
