        I get they call themselves Christian, but let us not pretend they follow any teachings of Christ

          Let’s not pretend whe have any reliable record of Christ’s teachings they could refer to.

            The records we do have, reliable or not, show what they should be following. Certain versions of the source material even set his words in a different color for clarification. They do not follow these super basic teachings of “be kind to everyone”, “be kind to strangers to your land especially since you were once strangers”, “don’t listen to people who try to lead with fear mongering”, “help those who are less fortunate instead of following fortune”, etc

            We can debate the reliability of the sources for the teachings but that is the standard they themselves say they follow. And they do not.

          Although it’s not traditional, it still is a religion. Only difference is title.

          They’re the same as Islamic extremists, uncannily in every single way, like it’s intentional.
