Christian Nationalism Quotes

“Charge up your mind with facts and reason,
Charge up your heart with love and vision.
Backbone alive repels cowardly inaction,
Even if peddled by thousand year tradition.”

“White Fragility Sonnet
(A Record of White Crimes Against Humanity)

Whiteness has done more harm to the world than good,
Till you look past your whiteness, you cannot be human.
Orange 'n musky trash of white privilege diss diversity,
What else would you expect from colonial descendants!

Every generation has its fraudsters like Edison,
Every generation has trashy maniacs like Columbus.
Every generation has war-merchants like Kissinger,
Every generation has its churchillian doofus.

White people tortured the Africans,
White people booted Native Americans;
White people massacred the Vietnamese,
White people lynched and looted the Indians.

White people caused genocide after genocide,
Yet you still boast about white superiority.
You proclaim that people of color are inferior,
While white society is the epitome of savagery.

If devil had a color, it would be white -
Yet I say, color is nonsense, we're all equal.
I am human enough to give you place beside me,
All I expect is that, a human behaves human.

After all the heartaches inflicted by white people,
A 100 generations worth apology won't be sufficient.
Yet I am human enough to declare, we are all equal;
All I ask is that, humans finally behave human.

They say, I'm spreading hate against the whites;
To which I say, human making is my mission.
There is no hope for humanitarian uplift,
Unless you renounce all fragile intoleration.

If you wanna learn about tolerance, ask a person of color,
How do you even tolerate the sight of white people, when
the wrongs done to you by whites are unparalleled in history!
You'll realize, there's no mythical secret to integration,
For ages we've known no other life but of inclusivity.

Middle East, India and Far East,
have been the melting pot of integration,
before the whites even knew what integration is.
Yet you say white people are superior - so be it;
Cowards always take refuge in fairytales,
to justify their fragility and prejudice.

If you wanna be a decent human being,
Never draw moral parameters from the west.
No matter whether you're born of east or west,
Remember, you are human first, then all else.

To recognize diversity is science,
To celebrate diversity is humanity.
To recognize privilege is common sense,
To abandon privilege builds human society.”

“If history comes as a blow to your heritage, then by all means, live in your bubble - but do so as a prehistoric ape disconnected from the civilizing world. You cannot call yourself a civilized human and at the same time refuse to acknowledge human suffering. Your uncivilization may be your prerogative, but before you turn that uncivilization into the norm, you shall find a hundred MLKs, Baldwins, Mayas and Naskars standing as obstacle to your insanity.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Visvavictor: Kanima Akiyor Kainat

“Animal awareness is the perfect carrier of propaganda - it is the ideal facilitator of animal conditioning, while human awareness is the only civilized answer. Let me show you how animal conditioning through propaganda works.

I'll mention a word, and you'll tell me what's the first thing that comes to your mind.

And the word is - "terrorism".

Here, the first thing a white american nationalist will think of, is "arabs". Ask an indian hindu nationalist the same question, and their first thought would be "pakistan". In the same way, israeli zionists would automatically associate the word terrorism with palestine.

Like it or not, that's animal nature. Every moment you are bombarded with materials that have no relation to truth and humanity, as far as the civilized mind could see. Through cinema, through video games, through news - propaganda is everywhere. And no, I am not talking about some grand conspiracy. Apes, who still cannot look past the color of skin and language of tongue, do not have the brains to orchestrate some grand scheme of manipulation - all they can do is, simply peddle the same old rotten narrative of hate and fanaticism repeatedly, and the rest is taken care of by the primitive survival instinct of the ape brain.

So, what's the way out? Simple - start using that grand instrument you carry on your shoulders, which you call a brain - driven by an actual civilized craving for uplift and illumination.”

“Have you read Matthew 23? Yehoshua Chrestos was neither a Christ(ian) nor a Nationalist.”

“Politics has forged its destructive path through religion for as long as religion has existed. Religion is a great tool to herd the masses by use of fear tactics and faith.”

“Tanrınator (The Sonnet)

To the christian I'm christian -
to neonazism, I'm nazarene ravager.
To the jew I'm just a jew -
to zionism, I'm thunderahava.

To the sanatani I'm advaitin -
to hindutva, I'm narasimha.
To the muslim I'm sufi fakir -
to islamism, I'm tanrınator.

To the atheist I'm rationalist,
to the militant I'm apocalypse.
To the intellectuals I'm an idiot,
to the narcissist I'm cataclysmic.

I'm a brother to every
believer and nonbeliever alike.
I'm the bridge that unites the shores,
I'm the bulldozer that obliterates divide.”

“Christian nationalism gives people a religious justification for their hate...
This actually means if Christian nationalism is your thing you were never a Christian in the first place.

ie When you're a person who hates, who lives in a society that does not accept that hate you carry that hate like a burden.
So naturally when somebody comes along and gives you a religious justification for your hate...that's a very powerful thing that will take over the core principles of their lives because they want that justification they want that burden to go away...So that they have a raised sense of superiority over the Society in which they live that doesn't agree with their hateful bigotry and homophobic views.

"Mores are the customs, norms, and behaviors that are acceptable to a society or social group. If your personal morals are in disagreement with local mores, you should be prepared to be annoyed every time you go buy beer.”

“Arabi Azadi Ashiqui
(The Sonnet)

The more you persecute a certain community,
the more you'll find me your fiercest enemy.
Defending that community with my last breath,
I shall remind you of your own utter futility.

The more you dehumanize a certain people,
more you'll find me your uncorrupt impediment.
The people will be safe, even if I'm annihilated -
In the process, world will witness your impotence.

More you criminalize a certain community,
more in my eyes you lose right to dignity.
Honor is earned through behavior, not by
excuse of throne, scripture or nationality.

Systemically propagate fear all you want -
In the end, you're at mercy of my civilian judgment.
Belonging is my bible, conscience is my koran -
Behave like a bully, and I'm your celestial guardian.

Whenever intolerance raises its fangs,
hiding behind menorah, saffron or crucifix,
Every Samaritan must become Samurai -
Every Civilian - Arabi, Azadi, Ashiqui!”
― Abhijit Naskar, World War Human: 100 New Earthling Sonnets

“The Christ I Bear (Sonnet 1570)

The Christ I know was a colored arab,
who took a stand against intolerance.
The Christ I know is the antithesis
of christian nationalism.

Naturally he became object of hate crime,
he was the classic case of persecution.
Thus the mortal man died for nobody's sin,
but due to his own activist intention.

The Christ I know was a friend to love,
The Christ I know abhorred cruelty.
Yet you've made him a badge of horror,
justifying your most heinous atrocity.

The Christ I bear is a spirit of love,
no puny institution can contain him.
I am Christ, you are Christ,
when there is love, whole world is him.”

“Christ becomes a vessel of hate,
Koran is used to peddle division.
Saffron substitutes the color of blood,
Discrimination becomes the new tradition.

Somewhere they cut Islam from curriculum,
Somewhere they convert museum into mosque,
Somewhere they erase black history - it's all
part-n-parcel of the same nationalist muck.”

“Now that a far right billionaire baboon
has turned it into the internet sewer,
there’s no point to hanging on to filth,
twitter used to be relevant, but no longer.

From time to time, colonial morons try to
bring back the good ol’ days of segregation.
It’s up to the human society to take charge,
and castrate their ambition through isolation.

Quarantine rabid dogs by absolute dissociation,
To entertain filth is to perpetrate uncivilization.”

“My America fosters the
spirit of self-correction,
Your America lies in the
continuation of exploitation.

My England lives in a willful
drive for making amends,
Your England lies in deliberate
denial of historic mess.

My Australia battles to
assimilate those once wronged,
Your Australia boasts proudly
atrocious plunders as tradition.

I wish I could tell you, you and I
are the same, but we are not.
My earth is a celebration of people,
Your earth is chained to dead customs.”

“When Calls The Divine
(The Sonnet)

Catholics say, anglicans ain't real christians.
Jews say, christians ain't the chosen people.
Hindus say, even a muslim's shadow ruins faith.
Muslims say, every non-muslim is an infidel.

Everybody thinks they're the chosen ones,
and everybody else is living in sin.
Only the brand of the bottle changes,
not the prejudice and bigotry within.

None of us are the chosen people,
We are all just people - period.
We choose what we become or not,
We are the weavers of our world.

I have a strange affinity to divinity,
but not to any kiosk selling capsules.
I'm drawn to the force beyond the fables,
nowhere but in human living holiness brews.”

“Americans who rarely think about Russia would be stunned to learn how much time Russian state television devotes to America’s culture wars, especially arguments over gender. Putin himself has displayed an alarmingly intimate acquaintance with Twitter debates about transgender rights, mockingly sympathizing with people who he says have been “canceled.” In part this is to demonstrate to Russians that there is nothing to admire about the liberal democratic world. But this is also Putin’s way of building alliances between his domestic audiences and his supporters in Europe and North America, where he has a following on the authoritarian far right, having convinced some naive conservatives that Russia is a “white Christian state.” In reality, Russia has very low church attendance, legal abortion, and a multiethnic population containing millions of Muslim citizens. The autonomous region of Chechnya, which is part of the Russian Federation, is governed in part by elements of sharia law and has arrested and killed gay men in the name of Islamic purity. The Russian state harasses and represses many forms of religion outside the state-sanctioned Russian Orthodox Church, including evangelical Protestants.”

“Texas representative Louie Gohmert declared in a December 2017 floor speech, 'The Supreme Court looked at all of the evidence and declared in an opinion that the United States was founded as, and is, a Christian nation.' He added to this gross misstatement by insisting that 'the only way any people can truly have freedom of religion is if they have a constitution that is founded on Judeo-Christian principles.' The opposite is true.”
― Andrew L. Seidel, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American

“A MORE INSIDIOUS RATIONALE underlies the Christian nationalist claim about the founders: the myth that only Christians are moral. The argument is that the United States was created by Christians for Christians because only they are moral, that Christianity is required for a moral society...
Religion gets its morality from us, not the other way around. Even today, many people mistakenly believe that morality cannot exist outside of religion.”
― Andrew L. Seidel, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American

“...these Enlightenment thinkers and the founders they influenced shared an important constant: they did not view religion as valuable because of its truth claims or as a sense of morality, but simply as a means of producing good behavior without a reasoned moral analysis.”
― Andrew L. Seidel, The Founding Myth: Why Christian Nationalism Is Un-American

“Christian nationalism operates like a ratchet or a noose; once the separation of state and church is violated, it tightens its hold and the violation becomes nearly incurable. It is then used to justify other violations...”

“Christianity used fire and the sword to purify citizens elsewhere in colonial America... European settlers were not practicing religious freedom, but religious violence.”
― Andrew L Seidel

“The bible has been edited, rewritten, excised, supplemented, translated, retranslated, and mistranslated so many times that claims of immutability are laughable. Yet about thirty percent of Americans, many of them Christian nationalists, believe the bible is the literal, inerrant word of their god.”
― Andrew L Seidel

“God is Schrodinger's cat, one moment it's there, the next it's not - all depends on the state of mind - God is the oldest fear-bending construct. Problem is when apes use God to enforce fear, a healthy refuge is rendered harmful refuse.”
