People who loudly proclaim in the political arena how God will punish the people they happen to hate, certainly don’t deserve that assumption. But they also don’t deserve the assumption that they’re honest Christians. They do in many ways the exact opposite of what Christ told us to do. And they preach the exact opposite.
It’s heartbreaking that they have come to dominate the public view of what Christianity is. And they play that game really cleverly. But what they do is not about Christianity. It’s about identity, exclusion, and justifying their hate.
I just saw someone on a different forum point out that Christian Nationalists aren’t Christians who also happen to be nationalists; they’re nationalists who use Christianity for their identity.
