Before scrolling down I thought to myself: Bet he says, 'Wow, that's frightening.'

Yep, it's ugly. Mein Kampf 100 years later.
I can’t find the recent bush quote that I read somewhere yesterday with him claiming that God had made him president to do his work.
Evidently this god-fella is a jewish oil tycoon.

Of course not. Since when do I seem crazy to you?

What I dispute is the lazy association of any religion with fascism,
especially for the expressed purpose of besmirching that religion.

What we should concentrate on is the elimination of fascism,
especially as opposed to the elimination of freedom of religion.

Not up to me to say. There are as many biblical interpretations as there are interpreters. The former lead to a small minority being pacifist and many being anti-authoritarian. However, the fact remains that billions or at least hundreds of millions of christians have supported the uber-violence of the Crusades, the Inquisition, colonialism, slavery, The Troubles, antisemitism, Mussolini, Naziism, Western imperialism, Jim Crow, "Pax" Americana, islamophobia, nuclear holocaust preparations, etc.

Which ones were "real" followers of Christ and not? Idk. I'll just settle for calling out the ones that are fascist. The definition of "fascist" is narrower than that of "christian". The world will be a better place if more christoliberals and christopacifists join me in calling out the christofascists. They need to be drowned out as being unacceptable in decent society.

Did you use an entirely different and unrelated quote to question "cicada" because:
1. You wanted to hide your earlier condescending use of "grasshopper"?
2. My actual post more directly challenged your dishonest perpetual victimhood?

Anyhow, fixed now:

There you go again. Our point has never been to besmirch christianity or then islam, judaism and hinduism. Rather, it's about IDing when minorities of those religions are corrupted by fascism. Keep reading the passage:

One more time - it’s these so called Christians who do the linking.

In their own words

“Orbán’s influence over both Trump and the GOP is substantial: he’s addressed CPAC in Texas, hosted a CPAC meeting in Budapest, and been repeatedly interviewed by Tucker Carlson, who did his Fox show from that country for a full week. He’s regularly quoted and praised on Fox “News” and by rightwing hate radio across the US.

He’s close to Putin, and the only European leader who openly argues that there should be no further military aid to Ukraine.

When he hosted the CPAC Republican fascist-fest in Budapest last May, the Hungarian “soft fascism” strongman told the Republican audience, to a standing ovation:

“Hungary is actually an incubator where experiments are done on the future of conservative policies. Hungary is the place where we didn’t just talk about defeating the progressives and liberals and causing a conservative Christian political turn, but we actually did it.”

I don’t know why we’re not understanding each other over the definition of this term.
I know that I’m not associating Christianity with fascism when I label as christian-fascist some bunch of admitted fascists who loudly claim to be christian in all that they say and do.

Never heard of Millersville but I'm not surprised about it having at least one outstanding nutjob. This particular nutjob even has "allies."

Back when TN license plates began with the number ranking (by population) of the county the car is registered in, my county (Sulluvan) was "5." This I like to think helps keep the number of nutjobs down locally. But I guess it could also indicate the ability to spawn more than the usual number of nutjobs.
