I don't believe for an instant that any of these people believe in any of their religions, just use them as means to justify their own vile sentiment and actions.

[-] remotelove@lemmy.ca 24 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

It's worse. They completely believe their religions and it's their god that commands them to kill the sinners. It's a rationalization feedback loop: They are just doing what they are told to be proper religious folk.

That's not a valid excuse. We didn't accept it when the nazis said they were just following orders, and we won't accept it now.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

We totally accepted it when Americans said they were following orders, though.

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

........when did we do that?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Probably would be easier to say when did we not?

The most notable example that comes to mind is the guy who perpetrated the My Lai massacre getting house arrest, that only happened because of leaked documents going public.

But it's not the only one. Our soldiers love to take selfies with human trophies, and nothing meaningful happens when they do.

Absolutely this… they believe it zealously, and the ends justify the means.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

This shit is just self serving. They'll believe whatever is convenient to excuse their shitty behaviour.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That's not what the religion they claim to follow teaches, so no, they don't believe in their religion. They believe in the insane ramblings of politically motivated scammers.

[-] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

Did you ever read the bible texts?

[-] khaleer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 4 months ago

So it's probably time for a review.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Fascists are fascists. It doesn't matter what particular holy book they wave around.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

That's blatantly apparent by them not following literally any of the teachings of Jesus. These people are anti-christ.

[-] linkshandig@lemm.ee 31 points 4 months ago

Yes, the billionaires

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 9 points 4 months ago

There have to be exceptions to that rule, has anyone spoken to god lately to ask for clarification?

[-] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago

Their god tells them whatever they most want to hear

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Their god tells them that they want to be queer.

I suppose I better start dating men, who am I to question god?

[-] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 months ago

Godspeed 🫡

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

They gonna find out that the left isn't exactly unarmed.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Those armed leftists need to start working on the fucking Heritage Foundation.

[-] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 months ago

Good luck getting anyone in the left to act first. Hell, I'm crazy as a shithouse rat, and I wouldn't start a war until there's no other choice.

Sadly, I think it will take active violence to stir resistance among the armed left to actually fight. It'll be reactionary rather than revolutionary.

[-] PunnyName@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

Might be too late then. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

There's never a single catalyst, a shining moment where they've clearly crossed the line. It's a 1000 baby steps over the line, until gassing Jews seems like just another tiny change in a long line of changes.

[-] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

A man gets a bit of recognition in his tiny corner of the universe and starts believing he is god.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

For once, I agree with the message.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Isn't this illegal? Inciting violence is a crime afaik.

[-] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 3 points 4 months ago

Unless you're white and in the GOP, then it's any other day of the week

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Race has nothing to do with it. The guy is black anyways...

[-] taanegl@beehaw.org 1 points 4 months ago

Some folks need firing practice... for when these fucks show up.
