By the godless left
Marjorie Taylor Greene is proud to be a Christian nationalist.
Greene was accused on Monday of being a “Nazi” by Twitter users commenting on her defense of Christian nationalism while speaking on Saturday at the Turning Point USA Student Action Summit in Tampa, Florida. The Georgia Republican later shared a clip of her speech alongside the comment, “Nationalist isn’t a bad word” because it “means you care about your country.”
No, sport, that would be “patriot.”
“I am being attacked by the godless left because I said I’m a proud Christian Nationalist,” Greene said in a statement sent to Newsweek, which was also shared on Twitter. “These evil people are even calling me a Nazi because I proudly love my country and my God. The left has shown us exactly who they are. They hate America, they hate God, and they hate us.”
Newsflash: Nazism was a form of Christian nationalism, despite Hitler’s personal dislike of the religion.
“When She Is A Nazi is trending, of course it’s about Marjorie Taylor Greene,” writer Paul Rudnick tweeted. “Because that’s how friends signed her yearbook, what her guidance counselor told her parents, and what her kids tell anyone who asks what their Mommy does for a living.”
She has the hat, too.
Greene previously received criticism for praising Christian nationalism during a stream of her MTG:Live web show last month, when she said that Americans should be “most proud of Christianity” and said that those who argue “Christian nationalism is something to be scared of” were “lying to you.”
“Christian Nationalism was THE religion of the Third Reich!” Dr. Leah Schade, the Associate Professor of Preaching and Worship at Lexington Theological Seminary in Lexington, Kentucky, tweeted at the time. “Christian Nationalism is DEFINITELY something to be afraid of!”
Well first you’ll have to fill MTG in on what the Third Reich was.
In her defense, Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn’t understand this issue — or any issue. Her confidence is like fingernails on a blackboard.
Actually, Hitler was baptised a Catholic, and could have quietly, and possibly even sincerely, repented of all his sins on his deathbed, thus squeaking (or perhaps even squawking) into Heaven.
Just in case he managed to do it, the Pope has the power according to Catholic doctrine to chuck him at any stage right back out again.
That power was conferred on St Peter (and all his successors, so the Church maintains) by Matt. 16, wherein it is written: “And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ”
So the Pope could hold a High Pontifical Mass or whatever and formally call upon all the forces of Heaven to chuck Hitler out; just in case he got in.
That that has not even occurred to any Pope. I put it down to the pressure of the work involved in dealing with all the problems generated by clerical child molesters. It can’t be easy. Never was.
The Petrine Doctrine is bullshit though; Paul founded the religion because Peter didn’t exist…
But I suppose that’s beyond the point.
Like seriously. The Apostles were John, Paul, George, and Ringo.
Duh.
That “Happiness Is A Warm Gun” stuff wasn’t meant to be taken literally, Marjorie!
Blood Knight:
That could create theological problems. It possibly explains why the Church has gone to ground so to speak on the whole issue.
Did I mention that trinitarianism is heresy?
She’s preaching from the Gospel of Jingo, Chapter 8, Verses IX-XII: “Verily I say unto you: USA! USA! USA!!! Also, so-called assault rifles are totally cool.”
This strikes me as being exclusionary of the godless right. Why don’t they demand her to be censured for not centering them?
Nullius #4, Bzzzzt wrong.
They were DaveDee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Titch. Has there ever been a better name for apostles?
My personal saviours were Mike, Micky, Davey, and Pete.
