Southern evangelicals love their racism so much they'll sacrifice their Christianity for it in a heartbeat.

Nothing surprising about that at all.

They don't think they sacrificed their Christianity. To them this is Christianity, a means to be superior.

In their view: "Why else would you be Christian?"

Seen as a European (and although I'm not christian), US evangelicals have nothing in common with christianity. Except maybe the symbolism.

It's because they schismed specifically to redefine Christianity in terms of pro-slavery.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_Ham was part of it too, as proof that God wanted only White people to dominate all others who were cursed by him forever.

It's literally where the nazis got a lot of their stuff from, Hitler mentioned Jim Crow as the model Germany needed to follow in Mein Kampf.

The more I find out about religion in the US, the more insane it is.

I don’t think this is unique to southerners or evangelicals as I know a lot of non-Christian racists who believe this shit in NJ.

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

It's not unique.

Any more than killing jews was unique to nazis.

However, in both cases they were the ones to put in the dedication to go professional and take their racial hatred to another level, even to the point of industrializing it.

If there was a god, she'd never have done that.

If I believed in the Bible, I'd say DJT is the very definition of the Antichrist.

Not that I believe in Satan either.

If you know your Biblical History The Revelation unto John is very much a questionable book as to whether it should have been included. Trump might not be the antichrist but at no turn does his behavior reflect what Christianity advocates. If you need a guideline as to what Christians should be like Fred Rodgers of “Mr Rodgers” fame is an excellent example.
