As per what they call themselves, but to be of Christ is to follow his teachings of love. This is what they are, as per Matthew 25:40-45:
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
A person whom Christ calls out as "you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels" cannot be called in good faith (hardy har) a true Christian, like a true Scotsman must at least be from Scotland.
The callous fools cheering for 500k deportations of people back to war-torn lands full of strife are no Christians, my friend, no matter what they say.

Hypocrisy is one of the 19 vices of the soul, all of which act in opposition to love, the Great(est) Command(ment).

- MrMcCall 2y agoThis is the framework that encompasses all of God's commands, thus all proper behavior, for the benefit of one and all: Always love. Teach to always love. Never hate. Teach to never hate. We believe that Christ lived for our virtues. He didn't come here to die, but to teach us how to live. "The greatest among you shall be the servant of all." --Christ JDV is learning one of the fool's saddest mistakes that power is no substitute for happiness. Maybe he'll get his head out of his arse and turn himself towards God and away from that orange devil, that Harkonnen beast, but his chances grow slimmer by the day, by the act. That article (which I read in full, ty) almost comes close to the mark, but misses the point entirely. It's just more noise. Read my comment history for the pure signal, my friend.

- MrMcCall 2y agoWe give 10% of our net to charity, though we are only required to give 5%. It compounds our happiness and makes us richer of life, of happiness, and helps ensure we have enough to eat and live. It proves our gratitude to God for Its generosity to us, for sustenance, shelter, spiritual help evolving, health, and joy. "They have sold their soul for a small price."
