    the key is understanding that conservatives’ religion is conservatism. any challenge to their own views through religion must be anti-christ worship (even though they’re the ones obviously following the anti-christ at this point)

      Exactly if they actually followed teachings of Jesus they would be “tree hugging leftists”.

      Conservatives just exploit Christianity for their own selfish goals.

      It’s insane to me that conservatives hide behind religion and idolize people with incomprehensible amounts of wealth. It also occurs to me that none of these extremely wealthy people who are seen as leaders have any grasp on the teachings of Christianity and are not concerned with the afterlife.

      I’m not saying having wealth is inherently sinful but having the means to effect positive change and instead continuing to line your pockets while the world burns when you already have enough wealth to live a hundred or thousand lifetimes in absolute luxury probably earns you a special place in hell, if it exists.
