| Hegseth news conference 13:21 - Mar 4 with 3115 views | BlueNomad | Blood curdling. He doesn’t talk about winning, he emphasises “killing”. “We will kill more.” True but his enthusiasm to do “God’s work” is chilling. Historically inaccurate too. He claims one of their submarines sank an Iranian warship with a torpedo. “The first time since World War Two that has happened.” He’s obviously unaware of the Belgrano. |  | | |  |

wonder what musk's "cost-saving" department would make of an avoidable loss of several hundred million dollars? |  |

Fk, I think I’ve got their app. We had a large Hawaiian and large Texan bbq chicken last time. They do 2 large for the price of 1 if you collect. I don’t remember the Christian bit though. We did break (garlic) bread, so maybe that counts? |  |

100%. They’re fake Christians. It’s bizarre how sections of the right have co-opted the Christian label despite having very obviously anti-Christian views. We see it here in the UK too with our own political right. And yet despite all the evidence, people still fall for their schtick. It’s a very not-Christian cult. |  |

It would be great to hear some of the established Christian churches calling them out for it. Where are the 'community leaders' is a pretty common refrain when extremists claiming other religious allegiances are warmongering. |  |

To be fair, the Catholic church in the US has been very openly critical over the ICE crackdown. Some other pastors have also turned (or already been) against Trump. However, the US evangelical churches are deeply embedded with social conservatism and the political right, sometimes verging on segregationism, even. And that's where the money is, so they can take over things and get their message out louder than anyone else. There's a lot of very rich right-wing people who are manipulating Christianity in the US for their own aims (as a social influence), the same as they have done to politics. Unfortunately, it is also spreading over here in the UK, with a lot of RW evangelical funded propaganda in Christian broadcasting and some churches. |  |

He's a dumb white supremacist college fraternity bro who somehow ended up in a position to be able to kill lots of people he doesn't like and claim it's God's will. Frightening. |  | |  |

Musk is fully focused on his new plan, not been mentioned yet but the journos will join it up eventually: - SpaceX - get to Mars - Boring Company - drill into Mars to build somewhere to live - Tesla - moving to humanoid robots instead of cars to build things on Mars - Neuralink - brain chip company working on brain/computer interfaces - X/Grok - AI to power his Mars habitat Pretty clear that the loon wants to download himself into a humanoid robot and live forever on Mars.

He is a Christian. It’s one of his key identifiers. Most of these gangsters tearing the place up are doing it in the name of some deity or other. You can’t get away from that or disown it. |  |

I know a Christian who wants to vote Restore because Reform aren't right wing enough I explained to him that Jesus was a refugee and an immigrant, he had no answer to that |  |

You can if you want but you can’t with any authority claim they are not a Town fan. (I think we both know it’s not exactly the same, mind) |  |

Personally I would contribute €5 to get Musk off this planet asap! Happy to raise that to €10 to have Trump, Hegseth, Vance, Miller est al to join the party. I'll even chip a small bottle of Moet! |  | |  |

he can self-identify as a christian, it doesn't make him one. christ was more of a turn the other cheek kind of guy! he doesn't represent christianity any more than stalin represents communism or hitler represents atheism or ben-gvir represents judaism |  |
