Page 102- Improve military recruiters’ access to secondary schools and require completion of the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)—the military entrance examination—by all students in schools that receive federal funding.
All of the DOD directives are super creepy

They want soldiers because they want to attack/conquer mexico and canada... they will use the war on drugs as a reason for mexico, and liberation from 'liberals and transgender sex ideology' as the reason for canada. The race is on... big 3 ruszia, china, usa, who can conquer the most first. Brazil wouldve done it too but they lost their dictator and ran outta money.

I think that both the worst Republicans and extremist Christians (who don’t actually follow any Christian teachings but like it to use it to excuse their behaviour) see the writing on the wall. As civilizations advance, they become more democratic, liberal, and secular. The next decade or so is probably their only chance to indoctrinate a new generation of egregious assholes. If they miss this window, they may eventually go on the threatened species list (fingers crossed).🤞

you forget the fact the people who support the project are the bunch who if Jesus came they'd say he is woke.
Cults are cults & logic does nothing to them as they drank the koolaid and their leader is above anyone (even god)

No one cares if you're a christian. You don't need religion to have morals and realising how fucked up Project2025 is just needs 5 functional braincells. Has nothing to do with being american, patriotic or a christian.

Conservative concept of freedom is: no one can tell people like me what to do, but people like me can tell others what to do. Thus slavery is freedom and leopards won't eat my face because I see myself as one of the leopards.

Air Force recruiter here. Most of that has been in place for a long time. The only thing that is different is making the ASVAB mandatory. It’s mostly going to be a waste of time. Kids do it to get out of class already and score a 5 out of 99. That’s not making it easier for recruiters. They are creating more useless work for us. I hate wasting my time on people that don’t want to be there. I need flight engineers that will keep an aircraft in the air not forced labor that can’t wait to discharge

Well, right wingers are all saying project 2025 is propaganda now. It’s so infuriating
Knifesmith
This is the type of viewpoint that needs to be promoted. A voice from within the "system" calling out the inherent contradictions between modern Christian behavior, and the supposed ideals. And messages like this aren't directed towards the worst people. They're really for the people who see themselves as good people, but are tipping towards going along with the evil. The people that could possibly be reformed.

They'll need troops for when we're simultaneously at war with Iran and Mexico.

When you believe you’re in the in-group it’s easy to convince yourself you’ll be spared the harm of such programs. That is, until the other show drops and you realize the in-group never considered you one of them at all.

Depends which Jesus teachings, honestly. Racism (against Samaritans), pro-slavery, come to bring not peace but a sword (pro-war), break up your family if they aren't Christians, blame demons for bad things, punish a fig tree for being itself and not bearing fruit out of season, beat the snot out of people whose economic policies you don't like ... I think the right-wing would be totally cool with those teachings.
LordBoboftheBobs
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of the things Jesus taught
TinyBadger101
I think I don't. He had a mix of good and bad teachings, and the good ones are good. But the bad ones are ... well, quite bad. So if someone is looking for textual or Jesus-quote justification for a lot of very evil things, they can find it. And they aren't doing Christianity wrong when they do those evil things, because Christianity absolutely can be used to justify those things. We have 1500 years of Christian history showing that.
IceWeaselX
The Samaritan thing has bugged me for a while. People love using the term "Good Samaritan" but don't realize that it specifically was because of existing persecution of Samaritans. Today, "one of the good ones" is understood by many to be something racists say about individuals of "lesser races" that they tolerate. A "good Samaritan" is the same thing. Jesus was preaching to Jews, who hated Samaritans. The implication is that most Samaritans may be bad, but that one was good.
SithElephant
Your first mistake was thinking most Christians aspire to be like Christ. And not the inquisition, crusaders, committers of pogroms and sectarian violence, encouragers of thirty years wars and converting people at sword point.
ToonamiT0M
For a lot of people, being religious is just a convenient shield from criticism for their retched beliefs and behavior.

As a child my catholic mother taught me that the Crusades were just and good. So yeah, this tracks.

I reckon I'm more "Christian" than many self-representing Christians are. I'm by no means flawless. I'm just a man for God's sake! But I'm always the one who HAS to speak up, stand up, help someone, when the Bystander Effect keeps a whole group from taking action. And I don't do it for the want of holy reward, nor fear of satanic retribution. Some Xtians can't fathom having morality without Old Book and the Wizard. Like looters: only thing stoppin em was the law/rules. "Oop! Crime Time!"

You should stop looking at the very loud Evangelicals then and notice others like the Methodists.

It amazes me that so many imgurians whine and bitch about never seeing Christlike Christians, and then downvote any attempts to bring attention to ones who are.
stsword
Well the Christian Left doesn't have an entire media ecosystem acting as a 24/7 bullhorn, but yes considering President Carter and Martin Luther King Jr people should be able to remember that not all religious people use religion as an excuse for shitty behavior they'd still want to do even if religion was never invented.
DraxisWyrmtail
I kinda understand what you are implying but they need to find their voice and oppose the bullshit. Because right now it is only the loud evangelicals that are making the oppressive christofascist rules/laws and they should not be ignored, they should be activly heard and fought against.
Altanese
That's what I'm saying though. These people are chronically online and have armies of Russian and Chinese disinfo amplifying them, let alone wealthy dipshits who own Twitter and Reddit who favor far right views.
The more progressive religious institutions will make no inroads if people ignore them in favor of the deranged circus of right wing media, or worse, group them together.
arbelox
Don't know if Methodists are the best example here, didn't like thousands of churches (like ~25%) just leave the UMC because of LGBT inclusion
Altanese
That sure is a way to look at the vast majority staying in communion.
XanderCorsaj
And as the bible(ugh) will tell you, Jesus said that prayer and worship should be a private, personal affair between yourself and God. Not in churches or the street. Or on the air. And certainly not in billion dollar megachurches with personal private jets like the Tim Allen/Martin Short guy, or that demonic old guy with the eyes n hairy fingers. Ugh! I can't get his visage out of my head now...

Your first mistake was confusing fundamentalists with all theists. Your second was generalization of a very complex subject.
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
The issue is one of optics. American Christians are the face of the republican party and the bigoted laws and protests they sponsor simply by never shutting up about it. That doesn't mean they all are like this, but that is the idea people get whether through personal encounters, news, social media, etc. It is always the limitation of an individual, we can only know what we know, if I only ever meet heinous hateful american christians then that is what I will assume they all are shown otherwise
ghornby
If you only meet one type of person within a given race/class/religion/gender identity/age demographic you then assume all members of that group behave as if everyone is the same? That’s called prejudice my guy. You only see Christo fascists on tv so you pretend Greek Orthodox or Protestants or South American Mary mother sects don’t exist? 👍
XanderCorsaj
Bad though they are, they don't have the biggest military with nukes set to go off if a grown baby man throws a fit...
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
Yes, it is called prejudice, and it is something people frequently do. I am not saying that this is how I feel, I am explaining what so many of the people on this site see. The way I see it, republican leaders and those behind them purposefully tout their christianity and call for things in gods name to create prejudice in the opposition, to further separate and alienate the groups. If a christian democrat feels constantly attacked and ridiculed there is a chance they could vote differently
ghornby
The first step to overcoming your prejudices is admitting that you have them.

If you aren’t comfortable grouping all Muslims together with Islamic extremists then you shouldn’t be comfortable doing the same thing with Christians.
somerandomusernamebecauseididntlikemyoldone
But that is exactly what a portion of the world did after 9/11. I am not agreeing with the commenter, the first six words in my comment is all you need to understand what I said. It isn't about people, groups, beliefs, causes, etc., it's about what people see. A big portion of the US certainly had no issue grouping all Muslims with extremists because that is all they knew and they were driven to do so. I would say the same has been happening with christians, purposefully to divide people
Septcanmat
A portion of the world did it, yes, but that didn’t make it right then, and it doesn’t make it right now.
Tible19
Arguing with religious people is useless. Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down and beat you with experience. Religious people only know how to straw man and use falicies, you don't really owe them an explanation... they believe in a magical sky daddy who is the embodiment of love but supports crushing infants skulls if they're from a different land lmaooo.
awkungen42
Seriously. When I hear "as a Christian" I immediately think that's your first problem. This is the thing that's too far for you? You're okay with all the other things Republicans do, but Project 2025 is the "too far thing"? Why not the trans kids getting dismembered, gay people being beat to death? Why do you even still believe your religion is good at all because it is very much not. Not only do your leaders support culling LGBTQ+ people, you are THE child predators. Sickening.
mrmoop
You're falling victim to the nut jobs hijacking an entire religion. I don't disagree that a lot of Christians have been misled and are totally delusional, but it's dangerous to put a label on someone who simply identifies as a Christian. Your assumptions very well could be correct about a particular person, but there are liberal Christians who do try to live by what Jesus taught, not what the MAGA pastors and the Joel Osteens of the world spew
awkungen42
The nutjobs haven't hijacked it. They're been in charge since day one. The entire problem with what you're saying is that hate isn't the basis of your religion when it clearly is. Your leaders hate certain people. "Don't hate the sinner, hate the sin" literally translates to just hating the sinner and that's a fact, proved by statistics and the majority of people who are Christian do this. It isn't some fringe group in your religion it is the majority.
mrmoop
First of all, no, hate isn't the basis of Christianity. The original message has been twisted. Again, leaders have abused the Bible to turn it into hate, and yes goes back thousands of years, but the root/core message is essentially love thy neighbor, help the poor, etc. Basically don't be selfish. My biggest problem with your comments is the blanket statements. You use the word "majority" twice, which, even if that's true, still puts an inaccurate and dangerous label on an entire population
awkungen42
Hmm, it's almost like you haven't read the Old testament even a lot of parts in the New testament. Brother your Bible is innately full of hate without your leaders twisting it.
awkungen42
I'll be honest. You're not changing any minds about religion with me. I was part of a cult when I was younger that was rife with pedophiles and extreme abuse. Religion in my eyes, even after I got out is always in the news for the evil acts of th followers that seem to be innate in those circles. It's just normalized hate, and like I won't give Nazis an inch, I won't give religion an inch either.
lcplspanky
While the majority of Christians are like that, there are some that are more left leaning and definitely not republican. The problem is that the majority of people who claim the religion don't follow it, and the few who do don't have much choice but to claim the same banner.
XanderCorsaj
And these are American CINO, yeah? Attach Republican to anything in the last several everythings, and it villifies the very nature of whatever it is that is talked about or done. Does that make sense? I've lost my grammatical skills. Dawn wake-up from bouncy fluffy doggo pupper. He's a 'Boofer' according to a chart I found here..

Satanism is the true christlike religion these days. Yaweh is the deceiver and his followers are doing the work of the antichrist.
tentacularfleshscape
In the Bible God tells the first ever lie. He says if Adam and Eve eat the fruit, they will die. The serpent only says that they wont
awkungen42
Your leaders are the problem, the followers listen to them. If you give them money or support, it is not you falling under the banner of the "shitty" ones. It is you supporting the policies and hatred they put in the world. You can pretend it's not so you can sleep at night, but there is a reason why if you're Christian you get lumped in with what Christians do. It's because you are part of the problem.
Tible19
It's like if skin heads (used to be a liberal political movement) refused to let go of the term when nazis took over the movement. But no, they gave it up bc they would rather show support for the people they were fighting for. If someone called themselves a self identified skin head would you feel comfortable around them? You don't get to wave the flag of bigots and then act like we have to take it on hood faith that you're a good person. If you staunchly hold onto Christianity as a label you
Tible19
Care more about how that label makes you feel, rather than how safe it makes the majority of people feel. Sounds to me like Christians who are liberal care more about the moral high ground Christianity let's them feel than actually being a good person. At the end of the day if you actively go to church and claim to be one of the good ones.. you're still supporting p*dophiles. What is the best Christian amongst scum really even worth?
Tible19
Idk, I think you're right. If you remove the element of the group being about religion let's say... we replace Christianity with 4chan. If you're a good person and on 4chan you aren't to be trusted by any women or queer ppl because you chose to belong to a group that for the most part is bigoted and dangerous. Why just because people believe in God do they feel they get to hold that label and still make people feel comfortable? If you eat dinner with a nazi, it's a table full of nazis as well.
Tible19
I think if Jesus was still around he would denounce Christianity seeing all the evil it does on a day to day basis. You're not very christ like if your ego about being a good Christian outweighs your humanity and where you draw the line with defending others and loving your neighbor. For the most part Christians mistreat anyone who's not like them, even other Christians.. trying to wear that as a badge of honor is just prideful and you're in denial that you could be a good Christian without
Tible19
Giving money to p*doph*les
TinyBadger101
I disagree. Being Christian just means believing Jesus died for you and rose again, that's it. So good people can definitely be Christian, but they aren't good because they are Christian. Christianity has been a net negative on the world as a very oppressive religion. It has some good teachings, but it also has some very bad ones, and those bad ones have been used to justify a whole lot of atrocities. The ones you don't like are also Christian.
XanderCorsaj
There's too much Old Testament ideology in most American gun-toting Christians. If they could read and think for themselves, they'd realise the bible is a farce and drop it. But they're TOLD what to think, HOW to think, and pick n choose which bits they like best, disregarding the rest(which is usually either the pork nonsense, and loving thy neighbour n not being a c*nt) Taught by pedophiles too. No truth. No justice. It's the American Way. I so dearly hope you guys come out of this madness 😔
TinyBadger101
No need to be anti-Semitic about it. The OT is Jewish holy books, we just don't pretend they're perfect. Don't you dare blame all bad things on the "Jewish" parts of the Bible, and put all good things on the "Christian" part of the Bible. That's not how it works. That being said, I hope we come out of this madness too.
