Bradly Mason @alsoacarpenter.bsky.social · 25/09/2026As a very conservative Christian (now Catholic), it has become the most disturbing thing in my life to realize that conservative Christians are literally the most destructive and evil force I've ever seen in American politics. It's so disturbing, TBH. 030
Bradly Mason @alsoacarpenter.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Stunned at the number of "Christians" who think they have to support the modern state of Israel, and its fascist leadership, as they systematically murder thousands, just because their theology is embarrassing 20th century trash. 120

Bradly Mason @alsoacarpenter.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Again, Christian Nationalism is just another ethno-nationalism, wherein the ethnos is "Christian" (of course, as defined by those seeking to gain political power). Anytime you declare a specific identity or ideology as definitive of the "real" members of a nation or society, you're doing a Hitler. 120
