These people think all compassion and "wokeness" is preformative because everything in their lives is preformative.

Praying is just talking to your imaginary friend, and having it tell back to you what you want to hear.

These elected representatives are no more mentally developed than elementary school children. Must be from a state full of lead pipes.

I think there's a biscuit that they're all looking at

Alright boys, whoever takes away the most rights gets the last one!

Do you win or lose if you get to eat the biscuit, or is it just a matter of perspective?

Oh please white Jesus and white God. Bless us while we take food from the mouths of millions. Take Healthcare from millions of infirm. And life itself from those evil brown people both here and around the world.

Amen. /s

Why are they praying in a huddle? Do they all shout in unison “GO TEAM” afterwards ?

Don’t you also have separation of church and state? Wasn’t that what you were founded on?

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's so the microphones can't catch the stuff they're praying to be forgiven for.

Wish they'd pray for forgiveness because then that would mean admitting mistakes.

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

Matthew 6:5-6

When you spread out your hands, I will hide my eyes from you; even though you make many prayers, I will not listen; your hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 1:15

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Ezekial 23:20

(side note, while looking up this verse it brought me to biblegateway.com where it shows dozens of translations basically in a list, and here is what the MSG (The Message) version translated that one single sentence into:

“Her sister Oholibah saw all this, but she became even worse than her sister in lust and whoring, if you can believe it. She also went crazy with lust for Assyrians: ambassadors and governors, military men smartly dressed and mounted on fine horses—the Assyrian elite. And I saw that she also had become incredibly filthy. Both women followed the same path. But Oholibah surpassed her sister. When she saw figures of Babylonians carved in relief on the walls and painted red, fancy belts around their waists, elaborate turbans on their heads, all of them looking important—famous Babylonians!—she went wild with lust and sent invitations to them in Babylon. The Babylonians came on the run, fornicated with her, made her dirty inside and out. When they had thoroughly debased her, she lost interest in them. Then she went public with her fornication. She exhibited her sex to the world. “I turned my back on her just as I had on her sister. But that didn’t slow her down. She went at her whoring harder than ever. She remembered when she was young, just starting out as a whore in Egypt. That whetted her appetite for more virile, vulgar, and violent lovers—stallions obsessive in their lust. She longed for the sexual prowess of her youth back in Egypt, where her firm young breasts were caressed and fondled.

How fucking creepy is that? First of all, the entire concept of this "translation" just seems like outright heresy, but what the fuck even is this?? Did the dude just read about massive dongs and it got him all horny so he wrote some Bible fanfiction in the middle of his "translation"?

Absolutely wild.

Edit: For people who don't click the link: This is one single verse according to Bible Gateway. This is not an entire section, this is the verse I quoted above as translated by the dude who makes this "translation." Or maybe Bible Gateway is wrong I dunno. Almost like having 3000 translations of your holy book dilutes it.

Edit: Because apparently people think I'd lie about something like this...

If you googled a single verse (this verse), and you saw this come up, how would you have reacted?

You will never convince me that shit like this is more than just performative play-acting for the sake of their base.

They aren't actually fucking praying. They don't actually believe any of this shit. It's a tool used to keep the support of their base of white christian nationalists.

That's why we see them doing shit like this now than every before.

In a world where more liberal minded Christians are balking at how "unchristian" these idiots are turning out to be, they have to make these shows louder and more obvious...and make damn sure there's a camera around, so that they can play even harder to the more extreme supporters.

If they were to quietly go about their business with no "performative acts of faith", more people would recognize them as the monsters they are.

But with shit like this, 81 year old grandparents the country over can look at them and say "I don't understand what they're doing, but they MUST be the good guys because look how christian they are..."

If anyone thinks America is getting out of this without resorting to firing squads and hanging these fuckers upside down in town squares, they're naive as fuck.

The bible also says to take care of the poor and a bunch of other stuff they actively work against.

I'm just going to assume these are republicans and furthermore call them scumbags, hypocrites, and heretics.

Matthew 6

1“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

2“So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

5“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

I don't know how anyone takes them seriously. They should be laughed out of the room and shunned by polite society. But there are a lot of bullshit "christian" churches peddling nonsense, I guess.

Not a single Christian among them. What exactly are they praying for, did anyone ask?

Optics, they are praying for optics.

Those who say, “I love God,” and hate a brother or sister are liars, for those who do not love a brother or sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.

Hey, guys, I don't think Jesus would approve of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare, but keep pretending that you are holier than me.

Disgusting pieces of shit. Reminds me of Jesus calling out the pharisees for praying in public, performatively. Not to mention they are going to ruin people's lives with that bill! Poor people are going to die so they can cut taxes for the rich!

I think the guy all the way on the right was just caught squeezing the ass of one of his Republican colleagues as they passed a law that will kick millions off of Medicaid and close down hospitals so that they can fund brown shirts to the tune of what other countries pay for whole militaries.
