4. If we are going to be honest, this is really nothing new

Since Jesus was supposedly nailed to his cross, Christians have not been shy about using violence to push their agenda. And white Christian nationalism has been around in this country for a long time. The south used Christianity has justification for slavery. And the KKK used Christianity as a justification for white supremacy. Evenangelicals have used Christianity has justification for their anti-gay, anti women's reproductive rights, anti-imigrant, anti-vaxxer, anti-science and all of the other anti sentiments.

So when yet another Christians steps forward and is aghast at what their fellow "Christians" are doing, you'll have to excuse me if I say move along, because you all have incrementally caused this mess.
