6. I was talking to my MAGA, evangelical christian brother about this.

He said the words attributed to jesus in the new testament don't apply anymore. They have a new covenant. The new agreement is that you say you believe in your heart and then you're good to go. I laughed and said, so you say you believe and then you can lie, steal, hate and harm others.

This is just what we used to refer to as 'cheap grace'. This is why we see so many young women in the Trump administration wearing crucifixion crosses around their necks while they lie their asses off. They can commit as many sins as they want. They are saved. 😜
