>During the war, Rosenberg drafted a plan for the future of religion in Germany which would see a Positive Christian Reich influenced by Germanic paganism conduct the “expulsion of the foreign Christian religions”, the replacement of the Bible as the supreme religious authority with Mein Kampf as the holy scripture of Positive Christianity, and the replacement of the Christian cross with the swastika as the universal symbol of European Christianity in Nazified Christian churches.
We’ve been seeing a play by play of exactly this. The CCP being in power as the public at large just buys crap from China is worrying.

They still allow churches there?

You think Xi would hang to death on a cross to save his people? “The glorious leader” is naturally jealous.

I am atheist but I’d prefer Jesus and Mary over the dictators.

Never forget that every time these “anti-West” governments posture their hatred of America, it’s not about a polite disagreement with political systems, but because the alternative they are proposing is a totalitarian cult.

Here’s that religious oppression that US Christians think they are experiencing!

So wait… does this mean Mao has a Male pregnancy? Cause that seems kind of out out of character for.the CCP to claim.

So is the idea that Mao’s delivery of Xi was a virgin birth?

Mao gave birth to Xi without intercourse through the holy spirit?

What bothers me the most about the red fascists is that they don’t even have the balls to admit they are as bad as the nazi they have to pretend they are good people on top of their fascism.

Could be pretty subversive if Xisus is depicted crucified and Maory is in drag.

Well that’s disgusting.
But a classic case of dictators co-opting religion to control their people.

That would be a huge religious violation for Islam.

I k is this is horrible and dystopic and stuff, but I can’t get over the idea of making someone keep a painting of your president instead of your god. Like it’s so ridiculous to me. “You know who’s really worthy of worship? Me! Fuck that Jesus guy”

China was able to solve their islam problem. Now that they know how to do it, they are solving their christianity problem too. We could learn a lot from them on how to deal with religion in the united states, which has done nothing but discriminate against women and LGBT folks.
