6. It's the opposite of what Jesus said, according to the bible.

Jesus was quite radical, if you read the New Testament. No only must we love our friends, we must love our enemies as ourselves.

In other words, not loving our enemies as much as we love ourselves is a sin. That's radical. I can't live up to it but I admire it.

Jesus also said that rich people can't get into heaven. Not just "feed the poor" but literally give everything away to others and live among the poor. Again, way too radical for me.

Everything the MAGAs stand for is opposed to what Jesus taught.

And don't get me started on how many of the Ten Commandments these people and their Beloved Leaders break daily. Pete Hegseth?
