Far-right activists in Britain are increasingly adopting the rhetoric of Christian nationalism. Yet while they look to American churches for an example, their evangelical style seems unlikely to map onto Brits’ quite different attitudes toward religion.
If it’s possible to just retcon all of the shit that makes up the foundation of your religion and create a “new narrative” doesn’t that just prove that it’s all made up bullshit? Like isn’t faith by its very nature “blind” and the fact that you assert that you can reshape it to your tastes just means that you don’t actually believe in this as much as you think you do?
Of course it’s all made up. Is it the divine word? Well then we have to assume that there is in fact a divine being. I’m not too sure of that one way or another. I don’t try to prove it or not prove its existence. The made by human scripture is a collection of stories, tales and fables from a long bygone era. Now how we choose to perceive and apply those lessons are fully upon us. Some use it as a guideline for daily living down to how one dress and what type of diet one may consume. Others, not so rigid may take it for simply the message of Jesus (Grace, redemption, forgiveness, acceptance, calling out corruption in the name of god, empathy, being a steward of the earth) He is only in the thing for the first half of the Pt.2 section of the script btw.
