american nationalism is its own religion.

  • the constitution is comparable to the Bible. read as if it was written by God, and is oftentimes considered indisputable 
  • the flag is an idol in which people literally pledge their allegiance to
  • patriotic anthems = hymns
  • the military itself is a treated like a priest class; the “laypeople” are expected to display the utmost respect for their pure existence.
  • indoctrination of children
  • displays of patriotism determines how “faithful” the individual is
  • presence of nationalism at different events (such as sports games, festivals, schools etc…) eerily resembles a theocracy
  • when someone chooses not to partake in a patriotic ritual, they are considered a heretic

Well they had a painting in DC where the title (The Apotheosis of Washington) literally means “George Washington becomes a god“.

I went to an Arab-American comedy night and there was a Muslim guy making a joke about being in high school football.

“I was hit so hard, I saw Jesus. Do you know how hard you have to be hit to see somebody else’s god?”

This is what jokes about religion are supposed to look like.

Kids Of Different Religions Explain Hell

Once again the Jewish kid is the best kid

I was not prepared for how wholesome and thoughtful the Jewish kid was

“What’s a politician?”

The Jewish kid is legit making me tear up. He’s so sweet. Good job to him and his parents and his shul, they must be amazing.
