I've grown up in the same educational situation, and this is exactly what I've experienced. Their attempted indoctrination turned me into a liberal, antichristian agnostic. But with mental health issues, because emotional abuse is better than "letting your kid go to hell"...
Well Jesus was a peace loving socialist hippy, who would have been seen as a woke liberal by any US Christian conservative. They would have crucified him and not seen the irony.
They were also warned about the antichrist, and then elected the embodiment of the warning almost identically.
It's a popular theory that the antichrist thing was an attack on Nero, who was persecuting Christians at the time Revelations was written.
But then that means Trump is nearly identical to the Bible's description of Nero.
That’s interesting. I’ll have to read up on it.
Unless you're talking to an American and making an incorrect assumption about what they mean by "liberal".
When one person uses a word with an unusual meaning, they're just wrong. When a whole country does it it's a difference of dialect. Are you gonna try to argue that American English is wrong?
Ditto for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK; aka North Korea). People often intentionally misuse words to obfuscate their true intentions, particularly those with an authoritarian or fascist slant.
That's a bad analogy.
Liberals are what socialists become when they grow up.
