Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?

No but they thump it all the time
Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, "met" him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)
Here's the point: That's the only Christian I've met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.
Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he's an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he's an exception. His best traits are that he's intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he's wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.

Read?
If they had, they'd know there was a 13th disciple named Matthias. I'm not even kidding, it's in the Book of Acts. He was selected to replace Judas, and is described as having been with them since the beginning.

Jesus already had a 13th apostle... Dude doesn't know about Matthias.
While Matthias was only taking the chair left by Judas, Charlie would have really continued with the true legacy of Judas. 🙏
Or Paul, apparently.
There's a handful of others, but it all depends on what one considers a canonical source. Like the Dead Sea scrolls vs a King James Bible.

Why the fuck are they riding this dead dick so hard? He was a horrible debater, held repulsive beliefs even to some people on the right, and wasn't even really that popular. He was a laughing stock to the majority of people and a perfect poster child for ignorant racist idiots the world over. Like, if you're going to martyr someone, pick someone who stands up to scrutiny.
If the beliefs held up to scrutiny they wouldn't be associated with the modern Republican party

Well he did a good job of upholding his PR for those who are dumb enough to believe it because he deceptively edited his videos for them.
Charlie Kirk totally PWNS 25 stupid crybaby liberal students
They are using his strong religious beliefs as a lighting rod. If you slam Charlie Kirk, you're basically slamming Christianity. It is easily used as a weapon.

This is why the fascists are winning. They know how to play the propaganda game. Libs would have shit bricks if we tried to politicize the murder and attempted murder of the Minnesota state lawmakers.
We're beyond playing fair and taking the high road, Democrats still playing the game from a decade past. And fucking losing.
They know how to play the propaganda game.
This isn't a propaganda win. Its simply a pretext for what they wanted and had the power to do anyway. Propaganda win would be if there was universal popular support for Kirk, and there wasn't before and simply isn't now. Most people didn't even know who Kirk was before this.

Because of his position on social issues?
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Kirk
If you haven't read his wiki, now is a great time.
American Far-Right Evangelicalism is the biggest heresy in 21st century Christianity and possibly the most wide spread heresy in the history of the religion.

To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.
They openly ignore and even violate Jesus' words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted "silent prayers bring silent results" and forced everyone to pray aloud.
I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you're going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.
Judas, specifically.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)

During Patel's hearing, Nehls said, "Charlie Kirk was a man of faith ... first and foremost, he loved his Lord Jesus, he loved his family. Beautiful wife, beautiful children. Just a remarkable honorable man that was silenced by this assassin's bullet. I would say if Charlie Kirk lived in the biblical times, he would have been the 13th disciple."
The full quote.
Lol, these fucking people. How can they not just get completely sick of themselves. I guess it takes having a monkey's level of self-awareness. I wonder if when they look in the mirror they get confused and aggressive at the thing staring back at them.
edit: I was very harsh on monkeys in this comment and I want to apologize to monkeys everywhere

Holy fuck, I am so sick of this.
"I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven." -Christ
If you think Jesus got pissed with the money lenders at the temple he would have completely lost his shit with Charlie Kirk. Even Judas would have been grossed out.

And lo, Charles did look down upon the leper, and he did pronounce "ugh, get a job!"
Come on, a Palestinian man preaching love and compassion ? The whole lot of them would call him a communist terrorist...
If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it's symbol.
Who says their God hasn't already tried to come back dozens of times but he keeps getting bombed because he's middle eastern

Only with "Republican Jesus". You know, the white guy wearing a toga, a cross, and an AR15.

Are they just going around trying to one up each other? What a ridiculous thing to say.
That is how fascism works. You must constantly increase your loyalty and worship or else you're at risk of being the next one attacked.
Charlie "Empathy is Evil" Kirk?
Yes. Remember, they worship Supply Side Jesus, not the one described in the Bible.

They can't brown nose hard enough. Fucking cowardly sycophants.
It's even worse: he's dead, so that makes it necrophilia.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
I forgot Jesus said to love thy neighbor, but only if they’re white so you know they’re not a DEI hire.
Reality is meaningless to these people. They just make up whatever, it’s a massive circlejerk.
Republicans pretending to be "Christians" never ceases to amuse
Contrary to what a lot of people think, I see this as a good sign. This right here is proof that MAGA has no future and that its days are numbered. A movement needs to be practical, flexible, coherent for it to last, and MAGA doesn't have any of these. MAGA currently has no morals, no values, no platform, no leadership outside of Trump, nothing. Everything starts and stops with Trump. Anything he says goes no matter how contradictory, insane, or nonsensical. He has purged the GOP and his own movement of anyone and anything that is capable of independent thought. He has made sure that MAGA and the GOP are exclusively made up of of yes men, which happen to be either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists.
This means that the moment Trump dies, MAGA will die with him. Without Trump serving as the de facto prophet, the movement will immediately fracture and the different factions will start fighting each other. This will lead them to be ineffective, which in turn will make them irrelevant with time. As for the GOP, it will become a blank slate as it will stand for nothing. It that will either collapse or reform to completely change from the top down. Because of this, I don't think MAGA is going to last long, but we just have to brace for the all the damage that they will cause in the little time they will be in power.

At what point do you admit that you're just licking assholes?
There is a non-zero chance that the second coming of Jesus DID happen, but it happened in rural America and he got killed by fascists again.
These Nazis are truly disgusting.
