Then the king will say to those on his right, "come, you who are blessed by my father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world."

For I was an immigrant and you put a mask on your face, threatened me with a gun, smashed my car window, disappeared me to a concentration camp in a swamp, and fed me from dishes on the floor.

"But most importantly, natural disasters are a reminder to 'repent or perish,' because see point #1 about living in a fallen world."

"The main point, says the editorial, is that natural disasters “are a result of living in a fallen and sinful world,” and that humans and the natural world itself are both cursed by original sin, so you’d better focus on getting right with Jesus. Also that extreme weather, like the rain, fall on both 'the just and the unjust,' and God’s will is inscrutable (and of course human activity like burning fossil fuels can’t affect the atmosphere)."

"Following Hurricane Helene last fall, the 'Standing for Freedom Center' explained that the death and destruction of a natural disaster must be understood through 'sound Christian doctrine,' which is why no one should think that the hurricane had anything to do with 'climate change,' which isn’t real, and is in fact 'a fabricated crisis that is weaponized by the global elites.'”

Doktor Zoom explains why, in Texas, getting politicans to enact legislation assuring that summer camps for children (many of them church-based) are safe is an uphill climb:

"For a lot of fundagelical Christians, taking care of each other is something people should only do on their own, because God wants government to be very, very limited."

"There was a reason I wasn’t taught the history of the Bible or U.S. empire: Christian Zionist theology crumbles under the weight of fact and history. But in order to fully leave that world behind, I had to physically leave, get an education, and meet people who were different from me."

"[Growing up in an evangelical household in Texas,] I learned that Christian Zionists have little interest in actual, living Jewish people; they treat Jews as pawns on the way to Christians’ spiritual blessing or instrumental to the fulfillment of ancient prophetic texts. It took years to see this ideology for what it really was: supremacist and nationalist."

"We’re living in a moment where cruelty is not only normalized but celebrated. …

Beware of any Christian movement that acts like the world is filled with enemies to be destroyed rather than full of neighbors to be loved.

Such movements have nothing to do with Jesus."

Bass writes,

"While the rest of us are trying to discern signs of fascism, many American are discerning the 'signs of the times.'

We think Hitler. They think Jesus. We think of the innocent suffering. They think of the final judgment. We pray for peace. They believe that the Prince of Peace is returning with a sword.

That's how completely far apart the narrative worlds are."

Mike Huckabee is an ordained Southern Baptist minister who buys into the very modern, untraditional (and, many would say, completely aberrant) notion that Israel has a special role to play in ushering in the end times — and Israel must be supported at all cost and without any criticism by true-believing Christians.

This notion is powerful in US evangelicalism and the MAGA movement.

"Last night, Trump bombed three nuclear sites in Iran.

In the wake of these events, there has been little to no discussion of the theological motives behind all this. But theology matters, and it may be what tipped the scales in favor of attacking Iran."

~ Diana Butler Bass

Bass then points to the recent text of Mike Huckabee, ambassador to Israel, telling Trump he was spared by God to be the "most consequential" president ever.
