It's a story, Adam. A fairy tale. We need to stop lying to children about the non-existence of god. They are literally believing in magic more than science. China is going to clean our clock using science while we fiddle-fart around with useless religion, waiting for our "savior" to come back.

Thanks for this. Much needed, much appreciated. It’s sad we make it necessary for heroes to sacrifice to set things right again. I regret it, but I’m grateful that his shoulders were strong enough to carry the world. No defeat is final. We know how this ends. Let’s each do our part.

The fastest way to get nothing done is to put your hands together in prayer and try to invoke some special "power" to correct the situation...it's personal paralysis done in mass numbers. An attempt at making yourself feel better instead of taking action. People create change, and only people

How does stripping food and medicine from people living in poverty and war torn countries represent anything that Christianity allegedly represents. The key word is "allegedly".

It never made sense to me Adam, ethically. The all powerful God is unable to forgive without shed blood, perfect shed blood. So torture and kill an innocent man in order to forgive the world for essentially being born human, with all our faults an failings, desgined by that same creator God.

I’m ex-Catholic A man-dominated religion. But I’m also do what’s right for you person. Whatever gets you through your day. Just wish more Christians followed Christ's teachings, it would be a better world. Just take Trump's Easter Message as an example of being a bad Christian.

I'm so sick of every one talking about religion while acting so inhumane. Religion is a very effective tool for control of masses. Nothing else.

Sure the Christians took over a Pagan Holiday that was already full of life and hope, it was the celebration of Spring. That is why we have chicks and bunnies that mean nothing to Christ's death. Why cover up the truth and let both truths stand?

No it doesn't. Just says the rich and powerful will take your existence because they are rich and powerful. BTW - remember it is just another myth used by a religion to convince everyone they are the true grifters of their 'god', not those other grifters.

I have no problem with folks sharing their religious beliefs and well wishes. Elected officials should learn some manners and show some respect as "leaders". Leadership is sorely lacking but I miss that Americans were greatly concerned about voting for Kennedy because of his Catholicism.

The only reason anybody has faith in anything, is because of the culture in which they were reared. One of the great powers of the intellect is trying to overcome your cultural conditioning. AND IT IS HARD. But you are a good guy. And that's all that matters to me, a person's heart.

The weird thing is, that many atheist live their lives in a way that reflects the life and teachings of the incarnated Christ than do the majority of US (so-called) Christians. For example, if you support Trump's deportations then you sure as hell ain't a Christian.

Christians actually believe that Jesus was God's son. That God had holy sex with a virgin and had a baby. Then Jesus died and came back to life, only to go away immediately instead of hanging out for a bit. They literally believe this.

I hate as a Christian they are using the religion to promote hatred selling propaganda items to elevate theirselves in the name of religion for power and hatred (autograph Bible like he wrote it is free in any church I been to)

Except Christianity has been a religion of murder, rape, theft & genocide for over 1000 years. US Republicans in 2025 are doing exactly what Christians have always done: pimp their religion for profit while using violence for power. We could use a lot less Christianity & a lot more humanity.

It’s like I said man is using the religion for its power this is not what it is about it takes time and understanding to find the true meaning of Christianity and to find the right church it took me many years just to find a church with the right message and I’m still looking in myself

Hurts my heart. I’m a follower of Christ. His teachings are not being followed by so many who claim to follow Him. As the word of God says, “if possible, even the most elect will be deceived.” In Matthew 24:24, Jesus warns His disciples, “False Christs and false prophets will rise…”

Respectfully, I disagree. I’m an atheist and not concerned about my eternal soul. I don’t need to that to act ethically or with kindness. Religion isn’t everyone’s path, and our country is supposed to have a separation between church and state. I wish you well.

As a student of Buddhism, I take special comfort from the teachings of one of my heroes - Jesus Christ! All messages mean the same thing, just spoken with different words for that particular era Truth, Love and Eternal Life.

I am a recovering evangelical and a despondent Dem; I appreciate this message and the integrity you show each day as you stand steadfast in the shared vision of our country.

We all have one creator it doesn't matter the name. We all have one mission in life and that is to treat each other with respect and to care about each others well being. Long life and happiness to all. Take care of your neighbor and they will take care of you.

I could agree more - it seems appropriate that yesterday was Holy Saturday in the Christian faith—the day evil thought it won, but hope wasn’t dead. Religious or not, it’s a fitting day to protest injustice—and know that change is near. #NoKings #HandsOff #50501protest #Resist

Well, not for women! Christianity is sexist af³. It's the most sexist of the Abrahamic religions. According to the Quran, women are half as valuable as men: Surahs 2:282, 4:11. According to the Bible, they are as hopelessly inferior to men as men are to God, the Son: 1 Cor 11:3,7, Eph 5:22-24.

Many gentiles can find meaning in the Old Testament and Jesus’s orig teachings. Perhaps if the hated-filled MAGA “Christians” would read and re-read them—like love thy neighbor, do unto others, etc— that would be an encouraging start for their redemption.

We’re backing those positive vibes with actions - I think our travel and purchasing boycotts will help! Everything American sits on shelves and rots/collects dust. It’s got to add up, especially with the loss of tourism money!

Every one of my friends hopes and prays that other countries help with this effort, by doing exactly that - boycott everything American, especially if it comes from a "red" area or trump supporting business. We need them to feel it and understand that they're responsible.

okay ,well the only thing that’s true and factual is that Jesus existed and was executed, but you can keep your fairytale book written from dead languages. Happy Spring to everyone still not pushing religion.

This is what I'm hanging on to during this very trying time. It's hard to find the positives in all the chaos around us. I'm 70 and not sure I'll see this righted in my lifetime. Very sad!

I have a strong suspicion that some of them NEVER read the Bible--because if they did they'd know that their policies would be rejected by Christ.

Yeah, there's too much of that. Along with the claim that 'the Golden Rule is "he who has the gold makes the rules"' (which is the opposite of what Christ taught.)

The Christian Easter message is universal. It means redemption from wrongdoings and the hope & strength to move forward. Thank you Mr Kinzinger for reminding us 🕯️

Offers a lobotomy without the surgery. As stupid as the Jewish 'Passover' holiday, my god, really, nobody tells you what this holiday is about because they're embarrassed that they celebrate it? Easter, the reason zombie apocalypse movies do so well at the box office.

Respectfully, I can't agree. The teaching of blind faith as a virtue is what paves the way for movements like MAGA to take hold. People have been training their entire lives to accept nonsense so long as there's a christian cross attached to it.

All one has to do is skim the Gospels and realize MAGA is definitely NOT akin to the teachings of Jesus. I'm no Biblical scholar, but I don't think it's outlandish to say what MAGA is in favor of is much more in-line with the Antichrist.

Humanists, perhaps? Definitely the opposite of christian thought, which essentially says that it is impossible for a person to be a good, everything is forgiven, so why bother trying? It's the perfect philosophy to excuse fascism, MAGA, and all the Republican evils.

A list of random dictators & assholes doesn't address that I specifically mentioned fascist & proto-fascist movements. As to the problem in Myanmar, you can blame a lot of this on Christian-majority nations attempts at imperialism in Asia. Britain fucked over Burma & left a mess.

Jesus was an activist. He chilled with sex workers, folks with diseases, and hated bankers. He literally said that the whole of the law is to love god and love your neighbor. So many "Christians" violate this daily be being absolute assholes.

Agree! It’s literally in the Bible. Jesus tells Martha, thanks for doing all the errands and details to serve me, but the better part is to sit and listen like Mary. Maybe the listen part isn’t a money maker for some churches so it gets downplayed?

he! imagine if churches just listened and didn't swing dick all the time. when I lived in Denver a church deacon made the news because he wanted homeless folk gone for making his parking spot look bad.
