These people would literally crucify Jesus again if he came back, even with absolute undeniable proof that’s him.
quick get rid of the evidence
what evidence
the evidence that we were wrong
Jesus: “The fuck is a border?”. “What do you mean rich people, how could there be poor or desperate people?”. “You created projectiles that explode and kill people? I thought you torturing me was supposed to be the end of this shit?”.
…this is hopeless, I’m going back to heaven, see none of y’all there
well, that stuff doesn’t exist in their mind in the first place, and their mind has nothing to do with reality
Relatable-ish key and peele skit
Somebody should really report these MAGA people for their anti-Christian biases
Fundamentalist protestants hate Catholics almost as much as they hate Jews and Muslims.
The evangelicals I know deny that catholics are even christian. I understand it’s some stupid wordplay - they call themselves Catholic instead of Christian therefore they aren’t Christian. We don’t self identify as a denomination, simply as Christian because obviously we are the correct, default choice.
It’s not ridiculous for Protestants to say catholics aren’t Christian. Protestant movements came about because they believed the Catholic Church wasn’t teaching the word of God. It’s not a coincidence it came about at a similar time to the printing press.
As people became more literate they started to learn the contradictions between the priests and the bible. The reaction to this resulted in movements that preached personal relationships with God and rejection of false profits (worshiping popes, saints etc).
If your not aligned with either of these religions is seems ridiculous. The reality is you can’t think Protestantism is the correct path if you believe Catholics are Christians. This is the same for many religions, they mostly claim they are right and everyone else is wrong.
Well don’t ya know, Jesus came 1800 years earlier on the other side of the planet to set up his fav country. All others he doesn’t bless.
I don’t know which has a more absurd origin story, in terms of how ridiculous it is to believe it given the history of how it started (irrespective of the actual dogmas), Mormonism or Scientology.
the catholic church is an institution that is rotten to its core, even when fascists hate the guy at the top
Appreciating that the Church will be anti-republican and leaning ever so slightly more into liberalism can exist alongside the Church’s history.
I’ll never be pro-religion, but we n ed to take a win when we can.
A book I was just reading told a story of how the Massachusetts church was trying for a long time to build more affordable housing, and basically got blocked out by NIMBYs and white patriarchy. So, given recent media, I’ve found them to sometimes be okay.
I don’t think we should be surprised their pro-zionists in the Bible Belt are psychopaths molesting children though.
It’s weirdly cloying, right? Amid all the negative press, the catholic church is on the whole responsible for a shocking amount of good in the world. Personally, a catholic hospital waiving the cost of a (really extravagant) medical disaster is both the only reason I’m still alive and not living in crippling debt as a result. Sometimes they do, in fact practice what they preach, and that’s awesome.
That ain’t the big-c Church, though. Their socially regressive attitude alone has inflicted more harm than all the good they’ve ever done, and that’s just one of the minor things they’re responsible for. It’s important to keep in mind that individuals doing good works don’t represent the absurdly draconian institution they’re a part of.
It’s all just fluff and disingenuous crap. Take the last one, Francis. He pretended to be soooo humble because he slept in a nice cottage still in the disgustingly opulent Vatican instead of the even nicer pope bedroom. As an absolute monarch he had the power to dismantle the entire system and give away the wealth to the previous victims of the church to make amends. But he didn’t. This one will say a bunch of nice stuff about migrants, but when the rubber hits the road nothing will change. And they’ll still force every one of their poor members to pay a 10% income tax while burying more gold in the Vatican.
he had the power to dismantle the entire system
One guy vs a globe of catholics? I realize he’s supposed to be the voice of god and all, but… I just don’t believe this.
Unfortunately really not a high bar.
Normal person: We should improve society somewhat.
MAGA: Woke. What is wrong with that person? Why are they aware of issues that we face as a society? We need to put a stop to this by voting for a guy who’s never lived an ordinary day in his entire life.
Also MEGA, it doesn’t matter anyway because I hate who I’m told. Even if I don’t know why. Knowing things (anything at all) is what the libs want.
Is that because he’s not trump? Were there MAGAts who genuinely believed that trump even had a chance?!
Wait, never mind, of course MAGAts thought trump had a chance, they don’t live in reality.
