And Cain killed Abel right?

Are we talking about Genesis or modern day Alabama? I’m confused.
If this meant that white Christians in America actually cared for the homeless, poor, and sick, they would be great! Instead, all this translates to is doubling down on political candidates who call immigrants vermin and brag about criming, attacking minorities, passing tax cuts for rich people, and taking away women’s health care. Repent should mean more than carrying water for the GOP.How Trumpism has pushed a fringe charismatic theology into the mainstream
(RNS) — Charismatic Christian prophets have gained new influence since becoming identified with the former president.
The good news, according to these prophets, is that God also says, “If the church repents, I will relent. I will protect your nations.”
Kentucky. Best of both worlds.
If it wasn't for the faction of anti-Christ Democrats(most Democrats don't hate Christ, but as we see many do)homelessness would be pretty rare. They love to see people suffer. Love it. Cherish it.
I've said this many times before, but I'll keep saying it every chance I can. They could end homelessness +5 times over in the US for the amount of taxpayer money sent to be laundered in Ukraine. Neither republican or democrat leaders give a **** about Americans, and you'd need to be a total clown to believe otherwise.If it wasn't for the faction of anti-Christ Democrats(most Democrats don't hate Christ, but as we see many do)homelessness would be pretty rare.

Meanwhile the white Christians you guys openly hate do a tremendous amount for those suffering unlike you.... Those damn white Christians helping people while Democrat states literally breed suffering. You ever seen Skid Row in person? You ever been downtown San Francisco on Christmas? You want to see suffering and people that need help that get ignored... well besides when Chinese presidents come... look no further than your cities..... YOUR CITIES. But I'm all ears, what do you do specifically while you are being judgmental? Me and my company do a tremendous amount for the homeless. Tons. White Christians like below do to....
How much the LDS Church spent on humanitarian aid last year
For the second straight year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints doled out more than a billion dollars in aid for its 17 million-plus members and millions more around the globe.
The $1.3 billion the church spent in 2023, according to the faith’s annual “Caring for Those in Need” report released Thursday, went to welfare and self-reliance assistance for members, and wider relief efforts throughout the word without regard to religious affiliation. The contributions come as the church continues to amass wealth (estimated by outside analysts at $265 billion) and faces increasing pressure from insiders and outsiders to give more to humanitarian causes.
“As followers of Jesus Christ, we consider this to be both a duty and a joyful privilege,” church President Russell M. Nelson and his counselors, Dallin H. Oaks and Henry B. Eyring, in the governing First Presidency, said in a joint statement. “We gratefully acknowledge the selfless contributions of time and means from church members, friends and other trusted organizations that enable this work to progress and expand.”

Probably not end it but could most definitely help those that actually wanted the help. Like our veterans who suffer and the mentally ill that need the help. Sadly places like California literally hand out drug kits and provide safe spaces for drug use. Oregon decriminalized hardcore drugs and it has majorly backfired. The left decriminalizes everything and enable these poor people to suffer. At the same time many like to be homeless.
What do you do?
It’s a cult… You can’t deviate from the prescribed narrative or you are a trumper maga. You aren’t allowed to have opinions outside of the ideology or you are smeared and labeled a conspiracy theorist or a racist. If trump says the sky is blue and water is wet you must oppose it. You must not think for yourself or god forbid ask any questions. People are leaving the cult though, it’s eating itself.
It's more than a cult.... Much more dangerous and hate filled.

"NAEP assessments are administered to students in traditional public, charter, private, and Catholic schools. Overall, the nation’s students experienced across-the-board score declines on the 2022 NAEP reading and math assessments, however that wasn’t the case for Catholic schools.

The Satanic Temple is known for trolling the religious right, but in its fight for religious pluralism, it's become a powerful foe.
“It would prefer no chaplains in schools, it says, but would settle for equal representation, intentionally goading conservatives, some of whom are explicit about wanting Christianity, rather than just religion, in public education.
“If they pass these bills, they’re going to have to contend with ministers of Satan acting as chaplains within their school districts,” said Lucien Greaves, a co-founder of the Satanic Temple, who uses a pseudonym to protect him against threats. “We think the public should know in advance that that’s what the outcome of these bills can be.”The Satanic Temple, founded in 2013 and recognized as a religion by the IRS, is known for trolling the religious right by taking advantage of Christian campaigns.

It offered the Hellions Academy as an alternative to Christian studies during school hours and named a telehealth abortion clinicafter Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito’s mom.

What's really dumb about all this is that things like statues of the 10 commandments show just how selective and arbitrary Christianity is. Why don't they have a statue of the rules for owning slaves from the old testament? Selective belief in arbitrary "rules" is ludicrous. And foisting it all on everyone regardless of their beliefs is nothing short of tyrannical. But it's a good thing they preach tolerance, as long as it's about tolerating the right people, I guess.As conservatives put religion in schools, Satanists want in, too

That makes sense. It's a thread about religion at it's root. Religion is nonsensical weird fantasy just like wizard of oz
I'm thinking you missed the message of Wizard of Oz. It was an allegory/satire opposed to the adoption of greenback fiat currency. They way out of the chaos was to follow the yellow brick road (gold) in the land of Oz (unit of measure for gold). The American people (Dorothy) travel with the agriculture sector (Scarecrow), the industrial sector (Tin Man), and the military sector (Cowardly Lion) to green city to end up proving the power everyone thought it held was based on nothing and manipulated by charlatans. The true power was in the shoes on Dorothy's feet, which in the book are silver.
