American Christianity isn’t Christianity. It’s some weird combination of American Civil Religion and Ayn Rand ultra-capitalism. Any time something Jesus says contradicts something Ayn Rand says the American “Christian” ALWAYS sides with Ayn Rand.
Jesus: I command you to clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and shelter the homeless.
American “Christian”: Poor and homeless people are poor and homeless because they’re lazy. They deserve to starve to death in the gutter.
Jesus: It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into Heaven.
American “Christian”: The more money you have the more “super blessing” God has given you. Jeff Bezos is a capitalist and capitalism put men in space even though his rocket was paid for by government subsidies and he then immediately turned around and gave $100 million to Van Jones, a self-professed communist. He’s super duper rich, that means he’s an avatar of capitalism, and that means God approves of him the most.
God in the Old Testament: I command you to forgive all debts after 7 years.
American “Christians”: Forgiving student loans rewards lazy, mentally-ill communist losers who got worthless basket weaving degrees when they should have “just gone into trades brah”, flooding the trade market and making it just as difficult to get a job as back when we told them to “just do STEM brah” and companies (jacks off to capitalism) hired H1B visa workers at 1/5 the price of American workers, so all the Americans with STEM degrees got fucked, but that’s HERE WE GO CAPITALISM, HERE WE GO, HOO HOO! Meanwhile Jew Dennis Prager and the Ayn Rand Institute should have their million dollar loans forgiven because they were FORCED to get loans by Covid, and the Covid vax is the mark of the beast even though it wasn’t on the forehead or hand and didn’t require people to voluntarily reject Christ.
God in the Old Testament: I command you to leave a portion of your fields unharvested so poor and homeless people can go and eat food for free.
American “Christians”: I bought enough guns for a small army. Come and take it (and when I say “come and take it” I mean take whatever you want, because while I’m a big, tough keyboard warrior, I won’t ever rise up and water the tree of liberty or defend myself from tyrannical governments like I pretend I will).
Jesus: Sell everything you have, give the money to the poor, and then follow me.
American “Christian”: That’s full communism! That time a rich man who owns a private business decided to privately, of his own free will, give his bonus pay - NOT his salary, just the bonus - to give all his employees a raise, that was FULL COMMUNISM! You’re allowed to spend your money on whatever you want EXCEPT on helping poor people.
Private charity is better than welfare, unless it’s Israel, they should get as much taxpayer money as they want, and good ol’ American boys should fight and die as mercenaries in Israel’s wars. And when I say “private charity” I mean charities that give money to Israel, not poor people in America, they can starve to death in the gutter because they’re lazy. They need gumption and bootstraps and they need to look a hiring manager in the eye and give him a firm handshake and then do 110% and they’ll become self-made millionaire capitalists if they go on Youtube and e-beg.
God in both Old and New Testaments: Usury is a sin. It’s one of the bad ones. I command you not to charge interest on loans.
American “Christian”: Literally the entire fucking economy is based on usury.
Jesus: You cannot serve two masters, you will either serve God or money.
American “Christian”: HERE WE GO CAPITALISM, HERE WE GO, HOO HOO!
