Y'all would have killed Jesus.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

The Abrahamic god is literally a war god. It evolved from El and Yahweh, members of the pantheon of the polytheistic Canaanite religion. El is the father of all gods and Yahweh is a weather and war god. So yeah no wonder that the Abrahamic god does crazy evil shit. Like killing all first born sons.

Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?

[–] [email protected] 103 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.

* "Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."

I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically

But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.

This is the result of 40 years of Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other Right Wing Grifters that followed.

They know the lowest of us love cruelty as comedy.

And for some odd reason they are ALL avid voters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Because they want to belong to "The Team."

Let's not forget Alex Jones, still holding on with this bare teeth claiming "The State" is after him. (heard a curated interview with Fucker Carlson yesterday, what a cringefest)

My god did Vance kill the Pope!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago

How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago

The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"

They really hated him because he was a little more tolerant of minorities.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 3 weeks ago

She hated him because he was at least a little ok with some LGBT.

I hated him for being the leader of one of the biggest, most corrupt organizations ever to exist on the planet.

We are (fucking definitely) not the same.

If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 weeks ago

MTGs existence might be the strongest argument against a caring god.

Oh face of evil,

Oh Marjorie Trailer Queen,

The evil you know,

Is the evil you've seen.

Oh face of spite,

A reflection so mean,

The ugliest sight,

Is the one you preen.

Oh face of shame,

A soul so obscene,

The monster you blame,

Is the one you’ve been.

If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.

MTG: IT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN AN ACT OF GOD

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

MTG very obviously doesn't really believe in the religion she claims to follow.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 weeks ago

Most Republicans don't. Never have in my lifetime, honestly, but with how hard they fight these days against e.g. feeding the hungry and treating the sick, it's more glaringly obvious than ever.

Vultures.

It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.

That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.

Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.
