Has Musk ever even pretended to be Christian? I thought he was always an edgy internet atheist type?

Even Richard Dawkins calls himself "culturally Christian" these days.

Christian

edgy internet atheist

same-picture

It’s weird how antitheists and Christian snobs alike enjoy disparaging enemy movements as ‘religions’.

my-hero ”Belief in a god is illogical. This is why I believe in realistic things like a tunnel for cars, bipedal robot slaves in every home, solar power generating roof tiles, uhh, fully automated self suck, the thai kid submersible, terraforming mars, and the ‘war of civilizations’ between the West and the Muslim East. It’s le science.”

More of that western christofascist alignment that several supremacist types align themselves with. Especially the atheist ones

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 20 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, I'm sure he'd say that he is "culturally Christian" or whatever.

[–] Owl@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

I came up with "culturally Christian" to describe myself (atheist but does the Christian holidays) like three minutes before the fascists started using it and ruined it. Very annoyed with them.

e.g. he celebrates christmas and says "God bless you" when you sneeze.

[–] Barabas@hexbear.net 19 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Mostly just a white supremacist dog whistle. The whole clash of civilisations thing.

Same reason we get Kash Patel saying ‘See you in Valhalla’ about Charlie Kirk. It is all just cosplay.

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And it gives him carte blanche to be frothing at the mouth racist against Muslims and get away with it!

[–] Keld@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Which is so annoying given that the vikings and muslims were pretty chill with one another. (For bad reasons, sure, the shared love of the slave trade was obviously bad) But a reason we know so much about the vikings is muslims writing shit down, and there's a bunch of islamic world treasure in viking burial sites.

The ADL is a hate group, just not for the reasons he believes and not against christians.

[–] Bartsbigbugbag@lemmy.ml 30 points 3 days ago

Just found out they were raided by the FBI for infiltrating anti apartheid groups and sending info to the apartheid government.

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 18 points 3 days ago

Well, the ADL hates Palestinian Christians, though that's obviously not what Musk means

[–] erik@hexbear.net 49 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

The actual article is even more funny. Apparently some guy took the ADL webpage for Christian Identity, an anti-semitic hate group, and just clipped off a screen shot of just the words "Christian Identity" being filled under "Extremism, Hate and Terrorism" and Musk 100% took the bait. https://gizmodo.com/the-adl-defended-elon-musks-awkward-gesture-now-he-calls-it-a-hate-group-2000665034

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 39 points 3 days ago (2 children)

the article claiming maybe musk didnt know and he'd veen tricked is pretty generous, and to say maybe he just doesn't have the smarts anyway is letting him off too easily

i have not seen a photograph from this angle wow its so much more blatant (from the article)

[–] Skye@hexbear.net 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I like that this angle shows the hogs in the audience being excited and happy about someone finally going full nazi in public too.

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

Absolutely.

[–] Fidels_Beard@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

It's a good angle.

the ADL hates Christians

critical support to the ADL

[–] Skye@hexbear.net 32 points 3 days ago

I mean, the ADL probably also saw this coming and banked on it when they defend overt white nationalists and nazis to benefit the zionist project, as cynical as that sounds

In the eyes of a lot of liberals this probably entirely legitimizes them doggirl-gloom

Fight amongst yourselves, assholes.

[–] CrawlMarks@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Let them fight.

Thinking about it though, they probably are just not for any of the reasons stated.

[–] chgxvjh@hexbear.net 12 points 3 days ago

Let them fight

[–] hedd616@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

Hating free for all.

[–] Octagon9561@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 days ago

They're both hateful.
