Something something false idol
I hold no warmth for organised religion and believe it to be an accelerating net negative to society for at least the past 5 or 6 centuries, probably further.
With that said, these people aren't Christians, they haven't even successfully learned the most basic lessons of their book. They're just a hateful cult appropriating some culture that's got nothing to do with them.
If there are any actual Christians left out there that actually read the fucking bible, they should be (according to the book itself, as far as I can tell) vehemently denouncing this behaviour as loudly as they can ad nauseum. Reminding all their Christian friends this behaviour is the ticket to eternal damnation, etc.
Why isn't this happening?
Some do, it’s just that their religion is complicit (Matthew 5:39-40). They would rather our planet become Mars and see the evil they let occur, because they have a faustian myth of a promise of an afterlife.
