Carlo Acutis, a teenage website developer, was attributed a second miracle by Pope Francis, advancing his path to becoming the first millennial saint.
I don’t care how unpopular this opinion is, but all religions are fucking stupid, and this is just another bullet point in the list of stupid shit zealots do to maintain control over the masses. Oh, you’re losing your young people to atheism and science? Better give them a role model and make a fucking saint out of a junior web dev with a geocities site. Holy shit.
Actual holy shit.
Religion is wild. When i tell people that i don’t drink alcohol they think it’s either for religious reason or because i’m a former alcoholic. When i tell them that i simply don’t like it, i’m weird. Somehow it’s less weird to not drink because of some pedo magic man from the past said i’m not allowed to.
Yes God is a pedophile. Yep you understood that correctly. Oh and yep God said you’re not allowed to drink alcohol /s
Oh and yep God said you’re not allowed to drink alcohol /s
He was pretty clear in Quran on that topic.

What a brave and controversial opinion on Lemmy
Grown motherfuckers believe this bullshit.
Shit’s embarrassing. Don’t know how people can represent the church with a straight face.
Also: when you get cancer who has the idea to pray to some rando? God’s busy, maybe this 15 year old ghost can get his attention for me.
For that matter, isn’t it sacrilege to pray to some rando? These are pretty flimsy justifications for miracles even by Catholic standards.
I have never understood why catholic iconography is fine to pray to, but other stuff = straight to hell.
While were on the topic of christian nonsense, why are adam and especially eve always portrayed with bellybuttons
That article almost read like a satire article. A teenager impressed some old people with a computer and now he’s being made a saint. I too had computer skills in 2006 and also never get laid. What do I get for it?
During his brief life, Acutis created a website cataloging each Eucharistic miracle in the world and listing approved Marian apparitions of the Catholic Church.
He made a list and they call him a computer genius. Not the Onion material.
I think the most disturbing thing here is that clearly the Holy See has a bias for JavaScript and/or PHP. I’m shuddering at that thought.
Look, if my code compiles on the first try, I’d call that a miracle as well, but I ain’t no saint.
And lo did St Carlo the Broccoli Headed droppeth his divine merch upon thy gyats, absent of any fanum tax, and the fam was filled with much rizz. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula skibidi. Amen.
You’re using slang from the wrong generation, bae. That’s so extra of you, but lowkey I still think you’re lit so don’t get salty with me or I’ll be shook.
Let’s get turnt!
If there’s a developer deserving of sainthood it’s Terry Davies of TempleOS fame. But I’m not sure if he counts as Catholic.
I was about to say that he was a racist and homophobic, but then remembered that wouldn’t be a problem. Hell, might even up his chances.
