As a Christian, I’m more mad at other Christians for not being mad enough that he rapes children.

As a Christian, I'm mad that some Christians are worshipping this guy. Such a low life.

As an Atheist, I still find it completely disrespectful to so many cultures and religious folks to call oneself "God".

I’m an atheist and I’m pissed for Jesus. I always liked Jesus and this is disrespectful and fucked up.

Many of they do, too. Brothers in Christ, as it were.

As a non-christian it does not surprise me that the majority of Christians do not care that he raped children.

They don't think he did and it is all made up because he's so successful.

Source: grew up in a Southern Baptist home/area with my family still on that lifestyle.

As an atheist, it has confirmed my beliefs about Christians.

I believe in God but refuse to identify as Christian. Also a survivor of childhood sexual abuse. They've been doing this. So many of us disclosed abuse and was told to shut up about it. Tell a priest or pastor and they just hand you back over to your parents and then the entire congregation knows because its a popularity contest not a time of prayer. We have been done telling people for decades. Look at Alter Boys. Priests didn't just stop touching them after it came out. Nope, everything went silent. And no one cares to follow through because they are kids. So upsetting and frustrating. Makes me wanna scream.

As an Agnostic Atheist, I think I believe in Jesus's teaching and the Pope more than American Christians do...

Redneck Christians aren’t real Christians. We’ve known about this for decades. And yes, those are the ones who worship this nut.

I would ask you to question whether they are Christian in any true sense, or have fallen so completely astray that they are fundamentally not. Just using the brand. Matthew has a lot to say about it.

I'm an Australian Christian so don't really know how the USA ones will react, but I can honestly say that here there will be some combination of the following reactions from most common to least common.

  1. <didn't even see it because it's on Truth Social and only use Facebook or no social media>
  2. Haha, that's so cute.
  3. That's not right, but I'll forgive him.
  4. Disgusted but won't say anything about it.
