Monte Mader

So my this really was at this point, I didn't question Christianity itself, but I was like, whatever I was taught was wrong.

And I had decided.

So I started looking at church history.

I started looking at U.S.

history from a more like expansive view.

I started looking at the arguments around homosexuality because I knew that the in the abortion argument I had been intentionally lied to to manipulate me.

And so now all of these other issues are up for grabs because I'm going to find out the truth because now I'm pissed.

Yeah, it's unraveling.

So I and I made the decision after that point in my life that I was going to evaluate anything and I was going to change my mind and get disowned by my dad if I had to, because I wanted to know the truth and because I didn't want anyone else to be victimized because I was playing along with an ideology that was a lie.

But for me, realizing that that Christian American Christianity, Christian nationalism was the problem happened when Trump announced his campaign.

Because I grew up, you know, at the tail end of the Clinton years and you grow up and like, oh, Clinton's a scumbag and it takes integrity to lead.

And Clinton is gross.

Yes, correct.

But I watch all of those same people salivate, falling on their knees in front of this serial adulterer, disgusting, lying, racist piece of shit.

And I recognize this, like, immediately.

I didn't need the grab him by the pussy comment.

I was like, this man is trash.

What are you talking about?

And as his campaign goes, and it gets worse and worse and worse and worse, and I watch everyone I know, everyone I grew up with, fall at his feet.

Call him King Cyrus.
