Sure has been a trip finding out that I'm the naive one for believing all the things my parents taught me as a kid growing up Christian..
All that "love your neighbor" and "turn the other cheek" stuff went right out the window the second wearing a mask became even the slightest inconvenience. Hard to recognize the people who taught me in Sunday school, now that locking kids up in cages and putting undesirables in camps is part of their media drip.
Sucks a lot.
I feel ya. It was a long process for me to realize that my Catholic family actually does not give a shit about the poor (just get a job), the sick (why do I care if they don't have health insurance?), the oppressed (slavery was actually good for black people because they learned useful skills!), the hungry (defund WIC!), the dying (assisted suicide will cause them to go to hell), wellbeing of children (defund public schools, 10k dead in Gaza, no more school lunches, take your pick), the nuclear family (200k families displaced in Gaza), the stranger (dirty immigrants), etc, etc, etc.
The list honestly goes on and on and on and it is such a shame.
Their attitude, however, is not a result of Catholicism or general Christianity. Their attitude towards the weak and poor in society is just American.
Yeah, this is true. They say God comes first, but when they started making fun of the Pope with stupid Trumpian name-calling, I knew they had put their political party affiliation above religion
