[TexasTowelie]

Transcript:

nothing quite like watching Margie
Taylor Green argue with the computer she
took to Twitter writing "I'm a Christian
an imperfect sinner saved by grace and
faith in Jesus i'm a nationalist a proud
American who loves my country and wants
to make our home nation the best place
for all American citizens and future
generations to come i'm a mother
thankful for the blessings and
responsibility God gave me with my
children i'm a business owner humbled
and grateful to be able to work as hard
as humanly possible in the greatest
country in the world to be successful
where nothing is given and all is earned
i'm a representative elected to serve
the greatest people from the greatest
district in the greatest country on
earth may God bless each of you and may
God bless America so some nice virtue
signaling wrapped in a bunch of
platitudes and then Grock the Elon
Muskowned AI tool was asked about
Green's Christianity in light of that
virtue signaling and Grock wrote
"Vgutelli Green identifies as a
Christian expressing faith in Jesus and
traditional beliefs like in her 2021
Christmas message however her Christian
nationalism and support for conspiracy
theories like QAnon sparked debate
critics including religious leaders
argue her actions contradict Christian
values of love and unity citing her
defense of January 6 and divisive
rhetoric supporters may see her stances
as faith-driven whether she's really a
Christian is subjective depending on
personal and theological views her faith
appears genuine to her but public
actions create controversy to which
Green responded "Grock the judgment seat
belongs to God not you a nonhuman AI
platform gro is left-leaning and
continues to spread fake news and
propaganda when people give up their own
discernment stop seeking the truth and
depend on AI to analyze information they
will be lost no nothing just Marjorie
Teleg arguing with AI now first of all
if you feel the need to argue with AI to
justify your Christianity then perhaps
your views your beliefs are a little
more fragile than you're letting on
there's also the fact that Grock is not
a person it's not partisan certainly
isn't left-leaning it just aggregates
actual data that will either support or
refute a theory in this case the idea
that Margie Taylor Green behaves
completely antithetically to the
teachings of her own religion and
whereas it's normally easy for someone
like Green to attack a person and their
subjective beliefs uh for arguing with
her it's a lot more damning when it's AI
doing it because you're essentially just
arguing with facts and that's why Green
is so butthard about being exposed the
reality is that Marjorie Tiller Green is
part of a long line of Republicans who
pervert Christianity and use it as a
shield to perpetuate an agenda that is
outright hostile to Christianity the
difficult part has been that for so long
the left has had so few if any people
who are able to push back but that's
changing now that some Democrats
actually follow the teachings of Christ
and aren't willing to allow Republicans
to co-opt the religion like for example
Bishop Marian Edgar Buddy who had the
opportunity to speak directly to Trump
when he first took office a few months
back for his second term and she didn't
waste her opportunity mr president
millions have put their trust in
you and as you told the nation yesterday
you have felt the providential hand of a
loving
God in the name of our God I ask
you to have mercy upon the people in our
country who are scared
now there are gay lesbian and
transgender children
in Democratic Republican and independent
families some who fear for their
lives and the people the people who pick
our crops and clean our office buildings
who labor in poultry farms and meat
packing plants who wash the dishes after
we eat in restaurants and work the night
shifts in hospitals they they may not be
citizens or have the proper
documentation but the vast majority of
immigrants are not
criminals they pay taxes and are good
neighbors
they are faithful members of our
churches and
mosques synagogues weddara and
temples i ask you to have mercy Mr
president on those in our communities
whose children fear that their parents
will be taken
away and that you help those who are
fleeing war zones and persecution in
their own
lands to find compassion and welcome
here our God teaches us that we are to
be merciful to the
stranger for we were all once strangers
in this land or Texas state legislator
James Telerico christian nationalists
have taken Trump as their new
Christ because he's everything the first
one was
not jesus was poor trump is rich
jesus was meek trump is a
bully jesus
lost and Trump is obsessed with
winning i honestly think that if Donald
Trump and JD Vance met Jesus today they
would ridicule him as a single childless
hippie and in
fact in fact Donald Trump Jr
explicitly rejected Jesus's sermon on
the mount he said "Turning the other
cheek has quote gotten us
nothing." How did we get to the point
where loving your enemy is weak and
loving your neighbor is woke
i
mean they are literally rejecting the
central teachings of Jesus because those
teachings don't serve their own
self-interest christian nationalism is
not about the way of Jesus it's about
the pursuit of power and look I'm
certainly no authority on Christianity
or any religion although by birthright I
suppose I'm somewhat of an authority on
bagels and guilt but I can say with a
degree of certainty that Donald Trump's
platform runs completely and wholly
antithetical to the teachings of all
religion but especially Christianity
which makes it so damning that not just
he but the rest of his party go along
with him he and Republicans are moving
to strip the sick and elderly of
healthcare by cutting $700 billion from
Medicaid a crucial lifeline for millions
of low-income Americans and children and
$300 billion from food stamps and food
assistance they passed tax cuts that
overwhelmingly favor the rich in stark
contrast to scripture condemning luxury
it was Jesus who said it is easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for someone who is rich to enter
heaven and yet their entire economic
agenda is a giveaway to those very
people and then of course you've got
Trump and the Republican party attacking
immigrants left and right you've got
them condemning these immigrants to
countries they've never known or sending
them to max security prisons that they
have no place being in i mean come on
people jesus Christ himself was
literally a refugee how much more
diametrically opposed to the teachings
of Christ could you get than attacking
refugees in the name of a literal
refugee trump and his mouthpieces will
hide behind Christianity while
supporting policies that stand in stark
contrast to the actual values of that
religion i mean why are we pretending
that we don't know what Jesus himself
stood for he was an immigrant who said
to help the poor and welcome strangers
which brings me to my favorite Bible
verse beware of false prophets which
come to you in sheep's clothing but
inwardly they are ravenous wolves
