Nothing about that has anything to do with religion or the "god that they believe in". Those rules are about power and money. "God" or "religion" are just a lever they use.

That lever wouldn't do anything without a bunch people genuinely agreeing it needed pulling.

That's always been the case, especially with World religions.

The god they believe in would tell them to sell their belongings and use all their worldly power to help the poor, but I guess they know better.

Also just look at Clarence Thomas's expression, that's a man that's never known a shred of happiness in his life.

Or the God that they are bribed to believe in.

The only god those faces in the picture follow is the almighty dollar.

It's just a really big coincidence that god happens to want all the exact same things they want and when their book explicitly says otherwise (taxing the rich, being generally kind to people) it's actually a deeply convoluted metaphor for actually doing exactly what they wanted in the first place. Isn't god "great"?

Rapist.

It’s just an uncontrollable trigger now whenever kavanaugh shows up in any feed.

I am slightly offended by other people believing in God but I generally keep it to myself. 😂

This reasoning kind of falls apart when we consider that one or the most important rules of most religions is to convert others, or at the very least shun them one way or another. Being insufferable about their believes is a crucial part of their believes.

They are actually supposed to be seperating themselves more like the amish but here they are not giving to ceasar what is ceasar but being ceasar.
