Why is the Republican party so content with denying healthcare as a human right, and trying everything they can to harm people who need any sort of assistance? Like… How do they do it? How much are we talking here when we speak about tax savings for them?

Pretend I am rich? Like how much money am I getting back by Republicans kicking men off healthcare or destroying insurance for those who need it most. It must be alot right?

    Sorry, not convinced. Wait, not sorry either.

    All the most terrible christians I have ever had the displeasure of interacting with were Protestants, whereas Catholics are just sorta there, honestly. (and I won’t comment on Orthodoxy because it’s too foreign. Like they might be terrible or amazing, I just never interacted with them, not a thing in my neck of the woods at all)

    It is Evangelical Churches boosting fascist candidates in the US and my own country of Brazil.

    If people want to convince me that Protestantism ISN’T authoritarian ultracapitalism in Church Clothes, they’ll have to show me something that stands stronger than the entirety of the past 10 years

    Trump, Bolsonaro, all boosted by Protestants.

      Actually protestants in italy ate the most progressive form of Christianity we have. The Valesian church for example accept same sex marriage, has had female priests since forever and has a very strong position on church-state separation and non proselytizing.

      You just don’t know much about protestants and think they are all the same like Trump or Bolsonaro.

      Like I said, Protestant churches come in many flavors. MANY flavors.

      What you’re saying is like, “Every quadrilateral I’ve seen lately has four equal sides and four right angles, I think you’re wrong about them only needing four sides.”

      Evangelicals are (generally) Protestants (although “Evangelical” isn’t really any sort of organized body but rather something people identify as), but not all Protestants identify as Evangelicals. Those who preach the Prosperity Gospel would profess to be Protestant or Evangelical, but not all Protestants or even all Evangelicals buy into Prosperity Gospel.

      Again, the most progressive denominations of Christianity are Protestant. That said, so are the least progressive denominations. It’s a huge category.
