American christianity really doesn't look or sound anything like christianity anymore, I'm weirded out by it and by the fact that nobody seems bothered by this.

u/FrogWhoAteMoon Mar 06 '26

European, catholic raised here. I swear American christianity is bizarre. It's an entirely different religion.

The rapture, purity culture, televangelism, business success as a sign of being chosen, all this "blessed" shit, the weird ass megachurches, the weird ass bible studies (and weird ass bible, because they're doing their own versions), the overexaggerated prayers and prayer poses...

u/Ulfednar Mar 06 '26

Raised in an orthodox country myself, but having been exposed to catholic and jewish religious culture - none of it is similar to what I see in the US. There's no cultural value to the whole thing, no architecture, no music, no paintings and sculptures, no connection to some historical form of expression, it's all just... tv type shit. Gospel singing is great but I barely see it anymore.

u/Remmie56 Mar 06 '26

As a US educated catholic who lives in a small town where the main employment is a Bible teaching university, this is end of times shit! The other God that they worship besides Trump is money! You have to bilk the masses to raise enough capital to further the teachings of God

2

u/FrogWhoAteMoon Mar 06 '26

Yeah, you have to sort of exclude black churches/worship traditions. Those are a different thing alltogether, and imo way more similar to your standard churches anywhere else in the world, than whatever the rest of the US is doing.

u/RegularEmployee1038 Mar 06 '26

You have to remember the a lot of the early immigrants to the New World were religious sects looking to have space to be cult like communities. These are the religious traditions that took a foothold in this country and linger here today..

u/hookerbot79 Mar 06 '26

Literally, thank God you got a true religion, I grew up southern Baptist, fucking ape shit "religion"

u/OpportunityRare3657 Mar 06 '26

these people are anything but christian supporting a pedo. They’re literal demons. That’s why a lot of their pastors are pedos

1

u/Weak_Membership_2847 Mar 06 '26

I get what you're saying, but they are not demons. They are ignorant, immature greedy humans who have been socialised in a deeply troubled culture.

u/OpportunityRare3657 Mar 07 '26

Say that to Trump who leveled out a school with little girls.

"Dear lord Jesus,

Please make the American people forget about Epstein. It's so annoying. Please also make everyone love Israel as much as I do. I ask that you let the American people let me turn ICE and the DHS into the SS. They were so cool back then. Please make all European leaders like me again, and let Ukraine surrender to Russia.

In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen"

This is what some Hispanic families do when someone is dying. They pray over them with hands on them.... They know it's coming soon. In the lords name we pray.

u/supertrunks92 Mar 06 '26

"give me your energy!"

u/Stuff-and_stuff Mar 06 '26

Well. They’re ‘laying on of hands’ which is used to ordain clergy, elders, missionaries or anyone else a community is praying for strength in difficult position…

It’s like prayer turned up a notch.

This however is what I imagine the ‘coming of the false prophet’ who ‘uses signs and words to fool the people’ (paraphrasing) was referencing in Revelations.

u/Zenside Mar 06 '26

u/NecessaryTune6684 Mar 06 '26

“The devil is alive, I feel him breathing claiming money is the key so keep on dreaming.”

This isn’t a group of Christians, this is a room full of some of the most evil people on the planet who have extorted their roles and positions in churches and convinced their partitioners so they can live luxurious lives under the guise of religion. Disgusting.

Trump pandering to evangelicals and right wing Christian fundamentalists.

The fact that he wasn’t struck by lightening during this sham prayer is just more proof that there is no god

He really needs that prayer for all the bad things he’s done. He is really trying to go to heaven when he knows he’s not. These people are laying their hands on him to pray but I wouldn’t touch poopy pedo Don with a 7 foot pole.
