    “I will not turn the other cheek when defending Jesus Christ,” she continued. “And if this lands me in jail, then so be it. Screw your gay garbage.”

    chic…

    "But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also."

    …its in your user manual.

      Homegirl literally said “don’t hit me with any of that Jesus Christ shit while I’m defending Jesus Christ”. She’s stupider than warm mayonnaise.

        She’s crazy as hell.

        I know what you’re thinking.

        No. They won’t do anything about a crazy chick with a gun making threats.

        She’s stupider than warm mayonnaise.

        One part Joel Osteen. One part John Rambo. She’s just playing the hits that conservatives love.

        We’ll see if voters eat it up. The Missouri primary isn’t until Tuesday and Sec State is a crowded ass field. She’s probably pulling these stunts just to get some name recognition. This strikes me as less about being stupid and more about being a virtual unknown in an eight-person field.

      Unfortunately, these “Christians” are the ravenous wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing that Matthew 7:15 warns us of.

      “The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. An evil soul producing holy witness Is like a villain with a smiling cheek, A goodly apple rotten at the heart. O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!” - William Shakespeare “The Merchant of Venice”

      Not to be pedantic, but this verse is basic. Most Christians will have a counter to this verse and it’s lost on many of them.

      This verse is much more on point:

      Jesus replied, “Do what you came for, friend.”

      Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested him. With that, one of Jesus’ companions reached for his sword, drew it out and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

      “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him, “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. Do you think I cannot call on my Father, and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels? But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen in this way?”

      Here Jesus is, being fucking arrested. And someone pulls a sword to defend Jesus and he tells him to chill.

      These people are Christians the same way I am vegetarian. On Sundays only.

        The scriptures, if one believes these things, were fulfilled, right? If the reason given not to fight was so that the scriptures would be fulfilled, doesn’t that logically leave Christians free to commit any violence, now?

      Pfff, they don’t read their user manual! No time for that when there are people to be persecuted! They’ve reforged Jesus into their own fascist, greedy, gun nut. Sort of a Frankenstein’s monster cross between Supply-Side Jesus and Rambo.

      I’m pretty sure they have never er actually read that book, none of their policies are in sync, they just really love virtue signaling about God while they completely miss the point. Jesus never wanted trans folks to not exist, never tried to drag gays behind his truck, never tried to separate immigrants from their children, and most importantly never threaten a coup saying it will remain bloodless if the vast majority of the population allows it to…these assholes are as close to God as the satanic church
