Welcome to Stop Christian Nationalism.

Today is Easter, which is a holiday about baby bunny rabbits and fluffy chicks and candy, jelly beans, yummy eggs.

That's what the holiday is about for most people, but I know that a lot of Christians really think it's about how there was a prophet in Western Asia, who died, but then magically came back to life, and somehow saved the world from something that he caused in the first place by setting up a magical tree with the fruit that was right there in front of people, and they shouldn't have eaten it, and therefore we are all doomed.

I don't know what the heck that has to do with springtime.

Yeah, I just said heck. Heck. Why did I say heck?

I said heck because I've been trained that we're not supposed to say Hell, because that's not nice.

That's a swear word, Hell. Hell.

You know what Hell is?

Hell is a Christian concept.

In the last few days, Donald Trump has invoked Hell twice, in capital letters, H-E-L-L, not lowercase H, but uppercase H Hell, which refers to something that was an invention of Jesus.

Jesus is the person who invented the idea of a place where people who refuse to obey his authority, and his rules, and his power will be tortured forever without mercy.

You want to talk about the resurrection of Jesus? Let's talk about that.

Let's talk about the fact that with the resurrection of Jesus, we have the threat of damnation and Hell.

Here's what Donald Trump said early this morning in a tweet. I'm going to read this word for word, even though I'm going to have to mark that I've got an expletive on the podcast, so it's not supposed to be for the ears of children - although you will have lots of children going into churches where they will have this same message preached at them just without one word: “fuckin’”. That's the only word they won't hear in church.

Other than that, they'll be told that they're going to be ripped apart, burned alive if they don't obey if they don't do whatever church leaders tell them to do.

Here's what Donald Trump had to say this morning in a social media post, word for word.

“Tuesday will be power plant day, and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the Fuckin’ Straight, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in hell. Just watch! Praise be to Allah. President Donald J. Trump.”

And on Saturday, yesterday, here's what Donald Trump said on social media:

“Remember when I gave Iran 10 days to make a deal or open up the Hormuz Strait? Time is running out, 48 hours before all hell will reign down on them. Glory be to God.”

Glory be to God.

Hell is an invention of Christianity. Hell did not exist in Judaism before Jesus came around.

There was no place of eternal punishment for the failure to obey God or to obey religious leaders. Jesus invented that, and the whole point of his second coming, his resurrection, is to enact that punishment.

If you read the Bible, the New Testament has an awful lot of material telling people that if they don't obey Christian church leaders who are now here as the voice of Jesus on earth, they are going to be tortured. They're going to be crushed. They're going to be beaten with iron sceptres. They are going to be burned, and there will be no mercy.

Yes, that is a concept in the New Testament, the Christian part of the Bible: No mercy for anyone who disobeys.

So, when Donald Trump is citing Hell, capitalizing that as an actual Christian place, a Christian threat, he is embodying a core teaching of Jesus and of the Christian Bible, and of Christian church leaders, since, well, for as long as there has been Christianity, that there will be violence, punishment, pain for anyone who stands in their way.

I know you may all want to get together on Easter today, and pretend that Jesus is all about love and forgiveness and nonviolence, but if you pretend that, you're ignoring what Jesus himself said he was here to do, to divide, not to bring peace, but a sword.

That's from the gospels. Those are supposedly Jesus' own words.

Now, of course, the New Testament was not taken down as dictation from Jesus. The New Testament was not written by Jesus. The New Testament was written generations after Jesus was supposed to have lived and died. So really, the whole thing is an invention of Christian church leaders.

Maybe there was a guy who sometime said some of it, but the whole thing can't be said to be the real teachings of Jesus. It's about what Christianity actually is, which is a religion that has a set of teachings, some of which are nice and some of which are rotten, bloody and violent.

Here we have, on Easter weekend, the Christian Donald Trump, who, yes, has been a Christian for his entire life, who was brought up in a church in Jamaica, New York, that's on Long Island, that was racially segregated, that would not allow African Americans to become members or leaders of that church in any way, a church, a Christian church, that taught Donald Trump to hate.

That hate that he's now bringing onto the world, in the name of Jesus, with Pete Hegseth, who leads prayers to the Christian God and to Jesus, hoping that every bullet and every bomb that the United States sends kills somebody.

Now Donald Trump is writing that he's going to bring Hell to Iran.

That's not a secular idea. That's a Christian idea.

I hope, as you all have your ham, and your jelly beans, and you all bow your heads to prey at your Christian Easter dinner this afternoon, I hope you take a moment to pause, to think about the destruction, and the waste, and the chaos that this Christian religion has brought to the world. Fuckin’ Hell.

It's a Christian president, who says fuckin' Hell, and yes, that is Christianity today.

Are you willing to embrace that, or are you willing to confront it?

At that Easter dinner you have this afternoon, with your little kids there, and your mother and your father, maybe your grandparents there, do you have the guts as a Christian to pull out this statement, made by your Christian president, citing your Christian Jesus' Christian idea of torture and Hell and violence, righteous violence?

Do you have the guts to read word for word what Donald Trump has said this weekend, and have your kids hear that?

If you don't have the courage to read that out loud, then you need to do more than just hang your head in shame.

You need to think about why you belong to a religion that teaches that pain and suffering is moral, why you belong to a religion that teaches you must be obedient to people who are violent, cruel killers, why you belong to a religion that has put Donald Trump into the White House and given him power over the U.S. Military.

The pain and suffering and death that the world is experiencing at the hands of Donald Trump comes straight from the teachings of Jesus.

If Christian Americans do nothing to stop this, if they do not stand up and demand the immediate resignation or impeachment of Donald Trump, for the rest of history when we hear about the teachings of Jesus, when we hear about the moral vision of Christianity, we will think about the fuckin’ Hell that Donald Trump, America's most Christian president, has threatened to “reign” down on his enemies, as a leader in a Christian war.

(Yes, that’s how Donald Trump spelled rain - R-E-I-G-N, as in the reign of Jesus, King of King, Lord of Lords, the prime torturer in chief, residing over Hell.)

If even half of the Christians in America today stood up and demanded that Donald Trump be taken out of the White House, it would be done by the end of the week.

We need to think on Easter Sunday about why America's Christians are not doing that.
