He’s not saying he’s good because he’s a good father and husband, he’s citing those as evidence for him being a good conservative Christian, which is the only thing that matters to them. If you identify as exactly that you can do anything and still be a good person.
The rich have co-opted Christianity and the insane devotion its internal logic creates to build their perfect foot soldiers
"Conservative Christian" means "not at all aligned with the teachings of Jesus Christ".
It means gullible and incurious… but also yes
It means women are less. But also yes.
But that's not really true. If you are a trinitarian then what Yahweh said is also what Jesus said. But even so people apparently haven't actually read their bible. Jesus was exclusionary, used racial slurs for tribes he didn't like, told everyone to continue the same barbaric treatment found in the Old Testement.
If even 50% of "christians" gave a fuck about what Jesus said, we wouldn't be here.
