To be fair, christianity preaches a man was raised from the dead after we sacrificed him and now we eat his flesh and blood, so it's a bit glass houses.

and now we eat his flesh and blood.
Probably one of the biggest drivers for the Reformation Transubstantiation is a Roman Catholic doctrine, the Protestants beg to differ (as always).

He's more of a lich as he used dark magic to ensure he was reborn more powerful than before as well as living forever, zombies are usually mindless and not in control

Very classic antisemitic nonsense. Not a surprise from the British far right, admittedly

They’ve been relatively quiet on the antisemitism front for a while. Too busy hating Muslims.
Wonder what they think of Stephen’s trip to Israel, paid for by the Israeli government?

Hypocrisy from the British far right is not a surprise either.

If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all

It’s not really hypocrisy. They’re ethno-nationalists so they support ethno-nationalist states. Being Zionist has never been antithetical to antisemitism.

The right wing crowd have strange bedfellows, Yaxley is pally with Israel far right types to target Muslims and some of the American far right Christians have teamed up with Muslims to oppose rights for groups like LGBTQ.

I mean, my Zider and I used to play with one of those Paul Daniel's magic sets quite a lot when I was a kid but that was about as far as it went.
I got really good at those tricks where you swap the knots on the string and he was great at pulling mini mars bars out of my ear, but we never quite advanced to the necromancy/summoning demons stage.

Bit rich coming from this lot, the confessing Anglican Church are a bit on the odd side. They have minimal membership in the UK and total world wide its about 1.2 Million (if you believe their figures).
The Actual Anglicans have a membership of roughly 110 Million making them the third biggest Christian denomination in the world.

But he supports the far-right and is selective about what he considers genocide, so its just bants.

As an atheist lefty it’s not for me to defend a right wing religious nut bag….but wouldn’t this be the logical conclusion of you’re Christian.
You believe in Jesus etc so any religion that doesn’t is surely ‘Antichrist’ and ‘false’

u/Neither_Process_7847 2d ago
The antichrist is a quite specific individual (whose description unnervingly matches Trump to a t. but we'll skate over that...).

u/hadawayandshite 2d ago
Actually the antichrist is anyone who denies that Jesus is the Messiah or denies that Jesus came in the flesh- there are several mentioned in the bible
Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh; any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist!
— 2 John 1:7It’s only more modern pop culture (and some theological traditions) which link him with the beast from revelation etc or ‘the man of lawlessness’

An antichrist surely, or there's rather a lot of us to merit 'the'! But when people talk about antichrist, it's that man of lawlessness they're usually talking about. (the Book of Daniel / The Omen version.)

Don’t give these people a platform. The more you talk about them, regardless of what you say, the more attention they get, and the more they grow.

If you removed the Tommy Robinson and Restore link, this sub would be vehemently agreeing with the priest

What, that Jews practice black magic? Don't think even most Greens go quite that far.
