They’re praying to Moloch, a biblical deity associated with child sacrifice.
Honestly, I’m not even sure if I’m joking.
I’d say Mammon, the demonic personification of greed.
They may call him Jesus-Christ, it’s still Moloch they’re praying.
But that’s how Christians pray when gathered together.
Not all of them. Some of them (us, I’m Christian myself) do, others listen to Jesus who said:
and when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. (Matthew 6:5)
I pray in public all the time. Nobody ever saw me do it, outside of services in churches or in the privacy of Christians’ homes. These guys don’t pray, they show off.
You have a point, but how do you know they are showing off?
It’s possible the media just happened to capture them in the act.
Their entire political platform is ostentatious christ-baiting and lip-service. Everything they do is for show. These are not true believers in christ, they are charlatans.
They’re professional politicians, they know these things, don’t be candid. But even if it wasn’t the case, it would still be showing off, but for their colleagues. A way to posture righteousness just before doing evil things. They make people hate Christ while it’s Mammon they serve.
Ask non-Christian people what is the Church about. They’ll answer that Christianity means hate of homosexuals, submission of women, fight against reproductive rights, rejection of science and rational thought, and I could go on… None of this is biblical. Abortion is not evoked even once. Women are regularly put in position of power compared to their “normal” position in the societies of these times from Deborah who was describe as an head of state to the powerful women of the Acts). Wisdom — the equivalent of “rational thought” then — is highly praised. Homosexuality (when defined as respectful love between consenting adults) is alluded only once, and it’s a positive allusion.
But these guys, they’ll cherrypick, deform, read uncontextually to make the Bible a book of hate. They’ll invent a doctrine of biblical inerrancy to make every verse count as much as all others, while the Bible warn against that, and drown the actual central message in details. They’re hypocrites who fight everything Christ said: love, love unconditionally, help the poor, fight peacefully oppression. They are highly regarded by society as they do that, but received their reward in full already.
And meanwhile Christ is more and more rejected because of people like them. That’s why I said that they must put Christ’s name on their lips, but it’s Mammon they’re praying.
Abortion is not evoked even once.
Actually, I remember the instructions for inducing a miscarriage (abortion) were laid out in the old testament. Part of it involved scraping up and ingesting shit from the temple floor.
Yeah this text (Numbers 5) is often cited but it’s not clear at all. Nowhere in the text the woman is described as pregnant, it’s in fact more probably about infertility than miscarriage.
What??
In usa, satanists are more moral than these “Christians”.
The Satanic Temple is absolutely one of our better civil and medical rights advocate groups.
On the other hand the church of Satan is edgy ayn Rand fans, just like the assholes pictured
Oh they’re praying.
I thought someone dropped a quarter.
I figured they smelled a virgin child hiding under the floorboards
They are looking for their humanity, they seem to have lost it.
That old guy in the suit dropped his contact.
Mike Johnson: Hal, what the fuck did you have for lunch???
For reference:
Hal Rogers (R-KY): The older man leaning forward over the desk on the far left.
Michael Guest (R-MS): Standing directly behind Hal Rogers with his hand on Rogers’ back.
Tim Walberg (R-MI): Standing in the back row between Guest and Duncan, looking down in prayer.
Jeff Duncan (R-SC): Standing in the center of the group, wearing a grey suit with his hands clasped.
Mike Johnson (R-LA): Seated on the bench wearing glasses and a red patterned tie
John Carter (R-TX): Seated on the far right, wearing a gold and blue striped tie with his hands folded in his lap.
Greg Steube (R-FL): Facing away from the camera in the foreground, wearing a plaid jacket.

Never let these SOBS live it down.
Live what down. They’ve already won.
Great movie. Totally unrealistic in 2026. They have the stench on them… and yet they continue to succeed, and have been for decades. The rich won. Kill them or run for cover. 🤷♂️
Look man I’m not your therapist. Filter those thoughts cuz you’re musing aimlessly and flip flopping afaict.
Clearly you’re the one who needs therapy.
filter those thoughts bud
Did he not get the memo about putting your hands together? He looks like he’s checking out a spot on his shoe.
If that kid who shines his shoes would work harder, maybe he could afford healthcare.
What do you think, Craps or Yahtzee?
Looking for their balls
“False prophets are people who claim to speak for God or share divine truth, but instead spread lies for personal gain, pride, or evil purposes. The Bible warns that they look harmless on the outside—like sheep—but act with harmful intent. Opinions are mixed on whether they are completely evil or just deeply confused, but traditional theology views their deception as spiritually destructive.”
Why can’t politicians(or anyone, and such organizations) who claim to be anti-fascist or progressive stop posting on the Nazi platform owned by one of the most apalling figures of wealth in history?
There are other ways to post a picture.
MAGAt “Christians” hate this passage:
Matthew 25 41-46
41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:
42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.
44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.If those kids could read [the Bible], they’d be very upset.
The hipocrisy there is unmatched
What are they doing? Spin the bottle?
They have to say “no homo” each time so god doesn’t get mad
Are they taking a knee?! Wasn’t that a sign of disrespect or something?
Only if you’re a particular skin color
Matthew 6:5-6
It’s fun turning their shit against them
And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Oh the delicious irony. Praying to a god who they know will cast them to the darkest pits of hell.
Nothing like warshiping a god who will forgive you for anything to make you ok with being a POS, this is the exact reason I don’t follow Christianity. Cuz it encourages this behavior.
