    Right-wing fundamentalist Christians aren't racist enough for the current zeitgeist.

    Only an American protestant could think "love thy neighbor" is heresy

    It makes sense when you view religion as a weapon of war and Christianity as an exclusive club for white wasps like they do.

      Walsh doing the “lynrd skynrd Jesus” bit from talledega nights but he’s like “I like to picture my Jesus as just a massive bigot, just constantly saying slurs, he let that one guy that fell out of the boat drown.”

    Protestantism is devil worship in denial and AmeriKKKans are proof of that fact.

    At least Catholics have the IRA.

    I liked how nonsensical some of the footwashing photos were, like the one where they're in the middle of a busy road with oncoming traffic.

    I love when these weirdo American Christians get reminded that the guy they worship would've been whipping them to chase them out of the temple for their sacrilege.

    Matt Walsh makes me so fucking repulsed like no other fash commentator does. He's just the most evil fucking shit head imaginable.

    What's the general consensus of these commercials?

    I know they're funded by the same people funding horrible things.

    But most people are likely passively watching them and walking away with a brief "maybe I shouldn't be so shitty to other people" message.

      They're bad. It's literally the flailing attempt of evangelicalism to rebrand and save their declining numbers through advertising. Just rich Christians thinking they can boost numbers by acting like they think good things instead of all the bad things that their churches actually say and do.

      More like He Gets Sus indeed.

      It’s bad. It’s literally just marketing. Putting a superficially liberal coat on the same horrific views that most white evangelical Americans have. They want to get you in the door but I promise you on Lenin’s cat’s grave, once you are in the door you’re gonna hear the same message: turn away from your sin (including gay stuff), repent, and put your faith in Christ alone and his death on the cross for your salvation. Otherwise you will face an eternity of conscious torment in hell.

      Like, people have posted chats with the hegetsus customer service or whatever it is, it’s just bog standard conservative evangelicalism.

      it's classic best foot forward type propo, lead with the vague and inspecific feel-good bullshit and save the hateful cult shit for when they're already sunk in

      I'd guess the horrible things they're funding make a lot more impact than a few TV spots that give warm fuzzies.

        They fund He Gets Me, but I have no idea if they're involved otherwise. It gives me Hillsong vibes, but I haven't heard anything specific about anyone else's involvement.

        The Green family have this like 1950s Rockefeller's dying brain worms where they're like "let's create PMC Christians that are conservative to fight the wild hogs that we accidentally created" and are trying to do neo-evangelicalism again and "prove the Bible is right" with stolen new discoveries, but they also want to make money because they don't have Rockefeller philanthropy money so they're still directly appealing to the wild hogs through the Museum of the Bible and other shit. Something something contradictions
