I'm sure there are good Christians, but this is exact reason religion needs to end.

Essentially, this is proof the religion has ended, it is now ruled by people whose values are the exact opposite of the sacred text.

It was always like this. Jesus was a Jew but soon after he died, suddenly many of the Jewish laws didn’t apply because it was easier to convert others if you let them keep the tips of their wieners and eat pork. Create a new sacred text, adopt some pagan symbols and it’s all good!

Christ taught that compassion and faith were more important than rules. But they've forgotten that part as well.

I'm not sure. Why aren't the "good" Christians telling these people to go to hell?

They are. It's as drowned out as any other objections. It's not like the crazy ones suddenly feel ashamed if a "good" religious figure stood against them. They rationalize it away.

Same with the GOP. There are conservatives trying to call the far-right out. They aren't being listened to, and the party keeps sliding further and further right.
