      They love their made up Jesus.

      Their made up jesus loves Guns, Racism, Money, and hates brown people and kindness.

      Which is fitting for people who have never bothered to read the bible outside of some mistranslated quotes their greedy, money grubbing and hate mongering preachers repeat ad nauseam.

        Also remember that today’s Bible was retold by a game of telephone before being written down. It was then written in a tongue the average person on the street could not read, this was so that they could not translate it themselves and were at the mercy of a preacher to tell them what it said. It was illegal to translate and/or distribute a copy of the texts.

        This is all to say that had any of it been real, it is more than likely to have been reshaped over the years, before white nationalists have now added their own spin.

      I mean Christians have always had a history of hating Jews. Absolutely not defensible obviously, but not a recent outlier either.
