  • Brazil is about to go to the polls, where current right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro will face off leftist and former union leader Lula - but what role will evangelicals play in this presidential election?
    Like in the United States, evangelical churches and their pastors have become powerhouses in Brazil, with the vast majority of evangelicals voting for Bolsonaro in the 2018 elections.
    But as some pastors turn up their support for Bolsonaro, others are breaking away from their churches - and pushing back.

      Both sides are radical. Lula 🦑 is a radical left wing candidate with similar program to that of Venezuela and Argentina while Bolsonaro supports free market, but at the same time, is in league with very radical christians… and that does not go well with politics if we remember the integralistas (Brazilian fascism)

    I have 100% conviction in God Almighty- the Supreme, the Merciful. However to spend all this money on churches while millions are starving in Brasil and worldwide is sickening! These religious leaders are fooling themselves and their followers. God Almighty does not need such things. He doesn't need anything. We are the ones in need of His Mercy and we attain this by by having mercy toward our fellow beings, giving charity and worshipping Him alone.

    You must have a certain amount of privilege to belong to one of these churches and wield that type of political power. So, those who are underprivileged, are left out of the conversation. In the US, these political conversations are rooted in racism and classism; not religion. American Christianity is a means to an end. Power. So, when we export these ideals to countries with even more severe economical disparities than ours, the effect on the poor is dire. It's ironic that a poor, brown Middle-Eastern man's teachings about love, have been used to manipulate so many systems and peoples for profit.

It is meant to attract (and brain wash) the vulnerable population. It turns out that the traditional Protestant churches who were against that started to preach a softer version of the same crap. They are committed to preach what people long to hear not what’s actually in the New Testament.

      Bolsonaro é imprudente, como todos os ex-governantes do Brasil, mas é preciso deixar de lado pensamentos fugazes e discutir cuidadosamente tais questões.
      Vale lembrar que este evento foi iniciado pelo Luiz desde o início. Ele rejeita o poder do Estado, mas foi um dos que mais aumentou a dependência dos brasileiros dos serviços públicos, tudo graças às medidas populistas que implementou. Sua gestão durante um dos eventos mais importantes do Brasil - o boom das commodities - foi abismal. Apesar de sermos um dos países que mais se beneficiaram com a queda do dólar em relação à cédula local, tivemos a pior taxa de desenvolvimento em relação aos países vizinhos. A escala do corte e do financiamento mal alocado é terrível.
      O investimento em educação foi maior do que em muitos países, mas os resultados foram menores do que os mesmos, com poucas mudanças para incentivar o ensino superior. Em geral, muitos brasileiros durante e após o governo de Luiz Inácio tiveram uma falsa sensação de paraíso, foi surpreendentemente manipulação em massa, algo parecido com o que eles tanto contestam, o fascismo (incrivelmente, os princípios atuais de Lula são semelhantes as ideias muitos ditatoriais).
      Entre os tópicos estão:
      Regulação da mídia;
      Censura;
      Supressão de opositores (o que pode impedir a existência de outros partidos);
      Desmilitarização (isso não tem nada a ver com fascismo, mas mostra seu temor por uma tentativa de golpe);
      O cara foi e sempre será um "endossier" do autoritarismo. Sempre esperou o momento ideal para impor suas ideias, ele mesmo disse que era algo difícil, "mas tudo fará para alcançá-lo, mesmo que custe 40 a 50 anos de sua vida".
      A propósito, Bolsonaro não chamou todos os moradores de "favelados", e sua afirmação de dominação criminosa está correta. Ele se referia à recepção ao candidato à presidência e de seu oponente, Lula. Não é novidade para ninguém, os traficantes são como um estado de transição. Permeiam o caos, o governo legítimo que tanto perturba sua paz é “um obstáculo cruel”. Eles o matariam (qualquer político) instantaneamente, a menos que fosse mais prejudicial do que útil... espere...
      As duas maiores facções mostraram claro apoio a Lula, muitas delas deixaram nítido que é tudo uma questão de interesses, não há altruísmo em seus olhos. O chefe do PCC chegou a mencionar que o PT os havia ajudado com processos judiciais, então o apoio deles agora é uma possível porta de entrada para sua saída, ou pelo menos um pouco de força para lhes dar mais liberdade (a famosa "política do bem"). O CV é muito mais astucioso, eles sabem que em um eventual governo Lula poderão recuperar sua influência na região e também aumentar suas negociações com as autoridades (corruptas), não para diminuir a agressão, mas para obter mais ferramentas (armas). Se a polícia não tem mais o direito de subir no morro e expulsar os bandidos, ou seja, de levantar a bandeira do Brasil e dar chance ao estado de ajudar os moradores, com uma possível ascensão de Lula, eles nem vão sair de casa, "isso violaria os direitos humanos dos ladrões".
      E cara, em outro comentário seu você comparou maconha com desodorante. Desodorante não vicia, não piora a ansiedade e a depressão, nem pode ser consumido... Para se ter uma ideia, já existe regulamentação governamental de drogas lícitas e ilícitas, e ainda sim há traficantes de drogas ilícitas. Legalizar a cannabis está longe de ser uma opção viável, até os Estados Unidos lamentaram isso, pois o número de viciados quase triplicou nos últimos séculos e a tendência é crescer incessantemente. A maconha tem mostrado bons resultados no combate a doenças como a paralisia (se não me engano, é essa), mas a legalização para uso recreativo é um perigo, ainda mais em um país latino-americano. Você é muito estúpido.

    The churches in Brazil don't pay taxes. Their debit from National Institute of Social Security and Income Tax reaches one point nine billion 1,9B (in Real, our currency ). The evangelical bench in the Chamber of Deputies works to ensure that no regulation proposal is approved and many others law projects that try to take away civil rights from LGBTQIAP+ comunity , women and some marginalized groups . This makes it easy for the church to serve as an instrument for money laundering, from the most varied sources such as illegal drug trafficking, tax evasion, etc. I'm not saying that every church do . But the lack of rules make it posible and all of the millioner or even biilioner pastors such as Silas Malafaia, Edir Macedo , Valdomiro and lots of them have some link with that. A huge portion of evangelical electorate was influenced by the Fake News stratergy used on 2018 Election . Wich consisted (and they still doing ) in make it viral false news saying Lula (the Workers Party candidate) will close Churchs or make it the cristian peoples lifes harder because according to them( the far right wing) the left wing do not follow "good values" and wanna destroy "family". You know, the typical trick from Facism: make your adversary looks like enemy and tell the people the enemies need to be annihilated. This presidency run has been tough, the far right wing still spreading lies but we're still trying fight against .
    P.s 1: In 2018 Bolsonaro allies made it viral a video of a person showing a baby bottle that has a Nipple( baby bottle part) in a shape of a penis saying that left wing people would give that for children on kindergarten . And yes an absurd portion of evangelical believed it.
    P.s 2. Oh and there's the Secret Budget too made by Bolsonaro's alliance and himself that consists in hide any detail of how the citzen money tax was spend. But this is a another whole situation we can discuss in other time.
