Galatians 5:1
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not be encumbered once more by a yoke of slavery.

Galatians 5:13
For you, brothers, were called to freedom; but do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh. Rather, serve one another in love.
These are just a few examples.. there are many more
A "Christian Fascist" is one who has cultivated a population void of God's Word,and then TOLD them whatever he wanted to, to control the people.. and put God's name on it. -- also, fascists do this, because they know that "All who call on the Name of God will be saved" Romans 10:13... so to tell people the lie that their oppressor, is the really one who can free them... the fascist gets the captives to RUN from the one who can save them....
if it's authoritarian, it's not Jesus.. but a misuse of His name.
@Theory_of_One@mary102111 I know the likelihood that you'll see this is near zero but I still felt like leaving a comment. Even if you personally might not be who they're talking about in these songs, they do exist. I think if you looked around the United States today you'd be very disappointed at where many of your fellow Christians ended up (even if you aren't American this still applies). Personally, I view religion as a way to cope with things larger than yourself such as death or a method of control. I find this album very relatable as these are...

I find this album very relatable as these are unfortunately the types of Christians I see most. I hold nothing against you for having these beliefs but I only ask that you look around and see what many religious individuals are pushing for today. Even if you think they aren't "real Christians" they're still using your doctrine.
"Just breathe, you don't need to understand"
Great lyrics. Really gets the point across.
Definately has to deal with Christian fascits.
