Holy shit the WaPo is a rag.

The pope quotes a bible verse:

Isaiah 1:15: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen — your hands are full of blood.”

WaPo: But the truth is nuanced. Here's what some random bloodthirsty maniacs think on the matter!

Holden Bloodfeast: "More infants for the meatgrinder! Praise be to Moloch, god of Blood and War!"

WaPo: It's impossible to tell who has a correct interpretation of Christian doctrine here.

Fuck I need that quote as a tattoo. Goes right along with John Browns "the sins of this land can't not be cleaned except by blood of its people"

same god called for the genocide of the amalekites

Well, sure. Over time, Yahweh went from a minor war god in a polytheistic religion who accepted human sacrifice (hence the chariots of iron preventing him from granting the Israelites victory, and the binding of Isaac in genesis) to the Prince of Peace. He has the same kind of "continuity" as a marvel comics character. He never quite got over the human sacrifice, mind, which continues to this day in symbolic form with the eucharist.

So hyped for Absolute Yahweh dude

Yeah, yeah, the Bible's full of shit, I know. Doesn't mean the quote doesn't go hard.

It's fun to remember that the Christian God was originally a pagan war god.
