    I’m not an atheistic, godless communist. I’m really more of an agnostic, godless social democrat. So perhaps that’s why this doesn’t bother me. However, I can’t quite figure out why anyone would expect an atheistic, godless communist to be bothered by what some cultist spouts.

    As someone who was raised Lutheran, I would expect this to be more disturbing to people who actually believe in Jesus.

      It is, or rather it is to those who understand his actual teachings.

      It doesn’t have to actually offend godless communists.

      It has to give the purchaser the impression that it will offend anyone to the left of Trump.

      Much of their cultic identity is based around hating, punishing and pissing off their opposition, who is inferior and small in number while simultaneously all pervasive and massively powerful and everywhere, due to the lying media hiding all manner of conspiracies.

      You know, normal fascist stuff.
