An Oklahoma man has been arrested after authorities accused him of throwing a pipe bomb at the headquarters of a group in Salem, Massachusetts, called The Satanic Temple.

Surveillance cameras showed a man walk up to the building soon after 4 a.m. on April 8 wearing a face covering, tactical vest and gloves, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the FBI. The man then ignited an improvised explosive device, threw it at the main entrance then ran away. The bomb partially detonated, resulting in some minor fire damage, authorities said.

    Christians aren’t very Christian usually, they just seem to like talking about it a lot.

      What does “Christian” even mean in this context? Because Christ was a Jew and didn’t seem to keen on anyone making a religion out of him if you read between the lines, or even the direct text in some cases…

      I actually got beaten at CCD a long time ago by saying something like “wait Jesus says not to worship him here, so don’t the jews kind of have a point”?

        I meant it as literally following the teachings of Christ, which is something very few people who call themselves Christians actually do.

        The most obnoxiously loud “Christians” would probably fucking hate Jesus for being a “dirty liberal” or “commie Jew” or some other insane conservative nonsense because stuff like taking care of the poor and eschewing wealth are things that they have a really bizarre hatred for.
