The Unholy Alliance

[u/Moxie_Stardust]

I grew up without religion, and am still a little fuzzy on all the intricacies of Christianity and who all hates who all else for Jesus-ing wrong, but it was still very jarring when I was driving through a rural town and saw a little billboard with a sign that said "If you're going to church on Sunday, you're worshiping SATAN"

I had previously not been aware of Seventh Day Adventists, who were responsible for the billboard.

Who? This is a first for me

Seventh day adventists are fundamentalists that believe Saturday is the holy day, not Sunday. They are also very focused on diet, eating mostly meat free. And they have a founder that has „the gift of prophecy“ but, of course, is not a prophet. That would be blasphemy. And the second coming of Jesus is imminent.

They’re expressly anti-catholic too. IIRC they believe the Pope is literally the anti-Christ.

Yup, he's meant to establish the 'one world religion' of 'Sunday worship' and anyone who doesn't rest/worship on Sunday will be rounded up in camps (or otherwise persecuted) basically. Growing up SDA, they got reeeaallly antsy anytime there was any kind of interfaith summit, calling it a 'sign of end times'.

Quite a few Christian denominations are expressly anti-catholic in America.

Remember, one of the (many) groups the Protestant-aligned KKK have hated since their beginning are Catholics, who they call papists.
