White House admits Trump climate policies will cost Americans $500 billion a year

I've heard the same bullshit from Christians I've met over and over about how accepting Jesus is the only hope for salvation, while completely ignoring the tenants that Jesus wanted people to live by, specifically the whole "judge not lest ye be judged" thing. They think that by simply believing in him, they are following his word. It's a straight-up perversion of what it means to be moral, to the point where it's painfully evident which Christians actually try to follow the tenants left for them in the bible, and which ones are just on "Team Jesus."

I've reached a point where I can't even be outraged by it, just disturbed that people are so committed to something that they have no interest in actually reading or taking the message from. They'll defend it. They'll try to force people to believe it. But read and understand the message? Nah, they'll go into full defensive mode if you call their actions unchristian.

The sad part is, the ones who actually follow Christ's teachings aren't the ones screaming in your face about him, they're the people who quietly go to church every Sunday, help the community, and try to actually better themselves.

It straight up elates me to think of these people getting what they deserve. They make the world worse with their judgmental, hateful, holier-than-thou perspectives, and they have no repercussions on Earth in their lives (save for the unending hate they feel for anyone who isn't like them, that's gotta be exhausting).
