If i was religious at all, that would be the heighth of blasphemy and deserving of eternal damnation

what’s interesting about contemporary christianity is that it’s not even all that clear if the idea of “eternal damnation” is something that’s actually supported by the scripture. and yet it’s such a fundamental part of modern christianity, especially for the so-called “god-fearing christians”.

If you go strictly by the bible, there is not eternal damnation, only in a sense that in the final judgement at the end of the end times, those who do not make it into heaven are simply destroyed, not sent to burn forever in hell.

That’s how the Episcopalians teach it.

Trump ticks so many false prophet/antichrist boxes, it's insane, yet Christians love him somehow

I mean that's also one of the tickboxes

I imagined some really dry delivery to this line and it made me chuckle

There's more than one Christian that's noted that, including Christians on the right.
