"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

American Jesus is a very real phenomenon.
These people think Jesus is America, in that he's the force behind the genocidal army of the USA and it's allies, the fuel of the alt right and the Republican party, the motive and the conscience of the murderer due to how evangelicals think forgiveness of sin works, but still somehow kind hearted and charitable despite all this. Just like how they perceive the US as the ultimate force of good in the world despite all the things the US has done. Jesus is merely a state symbol, a founding farther of the USA alongside George Washington, if not the idea of America itself.
Anything that portrays Jesus outside of this image is considered incorrect and satanic.
It's actually quite sad how religion has been reduced to this in the USA and in the evangelical movement
By now, you’ve probably already heard of the tragedy of Supply Side Jesus … it’s not a story the “woke christians” would tell you.

I'm wholly convinced that "American" Jesus is an egregore formed by the mass consciousness of American Evangelicals, a deranged thought form that both fuels, and is fueled, by their bloodthirsty, teeth gnashing madhouse "theology".
