Prove me wrong.
sharePeople making the claim are the ones who need to support it with evidence. It is hard to prove a negative, so perhaps you should not be making the claim.
shareWell, it is true that Jacob had children with two concubines because his favorite wife was believed to be barren.
I believe that someone in the show even refered to that story as a reason for why Gilead had this awful custom.
However, it is really ridiculous to think that any Christians in the modern US would find that a good idea today.
Anybody would rather suggest adoption or artificial insemination if a couple had problems with conceiving.
But really, this story is not about real American Christians anyway.
It is an author's painfully prejudiced caricature of what she believes that they are like.
"Fact" and "bible" are two words you seldom see together. For oh so many reasons.
shareFact: Nowhere in the Bible does it say to do any of the terrible things the Sons of Jacob did. In fact, a lot of that sounds like things Muslims or Communists in control would do, rather than Christians.
shareCool story. Now what does that have to do with a TV series based on another fictional book?
shareRight wing conservative christians are evil assholes, regardless. Prove me wrong.
shareAnyone who would say something so incredibly stupid as that, wouldn't understand the proof.
shareAnyone who had proof would offer it anyway.
shareYou just watch. He'll spew all sorts of cherry-picked anti-Christian examples the tv told him to use. He won't have one original idea in his head, and go with whatever society and the world told him to think. He'll compare us to evil cults and child molesters in the Catholic church, or fake Christians that are hypocrites in our society and not only don't practice what the Bible teaches, but only go to church twice a year. He'll completely ignore how truly evil and cruel his side of the aisle is, thinking they have a moral superiority despite the fact that reality shows the opposite.

shareProve it. What makes us evil? is it telling the truth? Is it the charities helping the less fortunate? Is it the forgiveness? Is it the belief in traditional families and showing respect towards your elders? Is it the protecting of our children? Is it giving others hope? Is it wanting to keep politics and sexuality out of our schools? Is it about defending ourselves from harm? Is it helping out others overseas? Is it having a strong sense of right and wrong, even if people don't like following those rules? Is it following the law? Is it loving America and upholding the Constitution? Stop me if I guess it.
Oh, and don't use the Catholic Church in your defense; that's a commons strawman argument anti-christians use all the time, and it won't help your case. Lumping us in with bad actors (such as corrupt politicians and high-level priests) shouldn't be used either. It's another strawman argument that will not help your case.
