Good Christians really kind of can't be on the modern left these days. But a lot of the left from the 90s are now considered on the right, and plenty of them could be.

Not sure why you'd need a storefront instead of just selling online or what the long term strategy is here, but for right now that store is going to make a fortune.

Yeah, that's definitely something a good Christian does, Gatekeeping Christianity itself. You don't have to try and create Supply Side Jesus just because the comic was funny

Good gravy, the deliberate entanglement of capitalism with christianity from the postwar period until now has really rotted the brains of the rightwinger

I mean, I know you're a low information sorta guy, but c'mon, you either don't understand faith or politics, which is it?

Pandering to the base instincts of conservative retards is definitely a gold mine (see Fox News).

It's called a fad. Gotta capitalize everything...! Or you're a part of all the problems!

Anyway this is pretty harmless. I'm sure crazy people will pivot all around it tho.

Back in the day, Harley Davidson regalia "meant something too".

Anyway my G-d is G-d. Not a brand. Hope this helps. /\

Haha, well without any gatekeeping, any belief system would be pretty shallow and meaningless.

Good christians generally don't support killing babies, for example.

It's like saying "I'm a totally faithful husband except all the times I fuck hookers."

So whats the so-called conservative christian's excuse for supporting our military, which has killed tons of babies

Or support for capitalist corporations, which have killed tons of babies

Or support for American empire in general, which has killed tons of babies

Kid Rock says President Trump once turned to him for help crafting a tweet about the Islamic State terror group—before also seeking his guidance about North Korea.

“I’m like, ‘What? I don’t think I’m qualified to answer this,’” the rapper recalled himself thinking during a 2017 White House meeting he described to Fox News’ Tucker Carlson late Monday.

In addition to seeking advice on what “we should do about North Korea,” he said the then-president also let him look at 'maps' during the visit. “I’m like, you know, like, ‘Am I supposed to be in on this shit?’” he said.

Yeah I guess all killing of babies is the same! I had never considered before that murdering a completely healthy human fetus because you got drunk at spring break is totally the same thing as military civilian casualties. There is no difference at all!

There isn't an excuse, give to Caesar what is Caesar's and love your neighbor. We aren't supposed to be terribly concerned about anything that isn't staring us in the face. It's mindfulness before the word mindfulness became popular.

You can't prevent abortions by being "against" them. You can prevent abortions by loving your neighbor. Think about any area of the world where we hope to legislate into a better world. It just doesn't happen. We have the world we have because it is comprised of individuals that all act and feel certain ways. Our politicians are self serving slime because that is what our population is. They worship the buck because most of us worship the buck. As intended.

No new president, no new laws, no new policies will ever keep us from being who we are, and that is what we need to work on. It's not about physical fitness, intelligence, productivity. It's about love. Sorry for the combined good news / bad news. Can't blame the senators, because everything would be fine and no stress if you and your neighbhor weren't liable to leave eachother dead in the gutter "shoulda thought about how expensive dental care is before he made that cop mad and got his teeth kicked in" etc.

Christianity has a deservedly bad name, but not because of God and Jesus but because of people adopting the brand without adopting the actions their supposed master prescribed.
