American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.
seriously, as long as believing in gods and shit isn't seen as the mental disorder it is in the whole world, humanity will never drag itself out this swamp of stupidity we are currently in.
If we're going to have a religious book, it should be The Egg.
rms is the only prophet I'll ever believe /s
I don’t care if heaven exists, but people like this really make me hope there’s a Hell.
A good DM wouldn't use such a cartoonishly evil villain. It wouldn't be believable.
Hey, take that back! No fictional demon, devil, or yugoloth can ever be as evil as humans like these.
I have multiple factions now in my campaign based on their actions. For example, one is manufacturing an "invasion" and is about to plan a false flag event to gain even more power. Turns out fascists are pretty villainous people
you know, there's a super easy way to stop it.
If it's so easy why don't you do it
because it takes all of us
Doesn't sound super easy then
ridiculous, isn't it? they'll show up to stand around doing nothing holding signs, but when asked to actually fight for their beliefs they suddenly become pacifists and cowards.
it's easy to see why we'll never win.
Who are you talking about? You said it takes all of us, are you just talking about all protestors or all Americans or all liberals?
The people protesting recently have not been "doing nothing" they've been doing everything they can to stop or obstruct ICE agents from disappearing people. It took a military deployment to stop them. That is not "doing nothing"
everyone left of center. enough people that they can't come after us all.
and i don't see people effectively stopping ICE. i see people making big shows for their social media. if you want results, you have to make them scared to do their job.
That is some weird shit.
These idiots projecting their religion onto a man who regularly makes fun of their religion is pretty weird by its self but mike is getting extra weird
I wonder if he's one of those believers that the destruction of Israel will usher in the end times and Jesus' return to earth and has the biggest boner right now over escalating this conflict.
I'm pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I'm pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one's own will is a one way ticket strait down.
I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.
They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.
It's the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn't matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that's a borderline scholarly argument these people don't have the capacity to consider
Yeah, they're an incredible arrogant bunch of racist tent-show snake-juggling hucketers.
The only Evanglicals I've ever met who try to walk the walk are from the Black churches.
Sorry that it makes you uncomfortable, but they are Christians too.
Your religion is evil and always has been.
I'm not Christian so I don't really have a skin in the game but insofar as I'm still Lutheran: No, those people aren't Christian. Well, actual Lutherans would never say it like that but talk about "people regrettably being in grave error" but same difference.
Point being is that you can't profess to follow a religion if you ignore core tenets. You can't be a dancer if you never dance. And you can't be a Christian if your creed boils down to "Jesus was too woke".
Christianity has always been self-righteous and arrogant (see the Lutheran "charity" above), but that's not the same as evil -- otherwise the French would also be inherently evil. They can, indeed, be quite rad on occasion.
Not my religion. I just read and don't paint people with broad brushes. A grand total of 9% of Christians have read the bible; like you, captain armchair, people just don't like to read.
It is not those who hear the law, but those who do the law, who shall be delivered.
It's astonishing how many self-professed Christians straight-up ignore Romans 2.
Epictetus puts it even better though:
Those arrogant fucks think they can force God's hand.
Incidentally, most of their end-times beliefs were made up in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It's all a bunch of shitty fanfic from mentally unstable cultists. As opposed to mainstream Christianity, which is based on fanfic from deranged cultists from the first to fifth centuries AD, plus a bit of window-dressing added in the late Middle Ages.
I prefer cult classic over new cult.
The New Crusades was not on my bingo list.
Ah fuck, why am I not even surprised?
That's some hardcore toadying. If it didn't have such nasty real-worl consequences, it'd also be comical, since Trump clearly regards fundies as suckers.
jfc, would someone please dom this man already and help him get all the bootlicking out of his system in a healthy way that doesn't jeporadize international affairs.
In all seriousness though, this is sad as fuck. What a pathetic waste of flesh and bone.
Huckster is a weird fuck.
Simple, you are so awesome, remember that you owe god one and even when a bunch of people are saying to be careful, listen to me because I'm the word of God, even though I'll try to assert some false humility by claiming I'm not persuading, just "encouraging" you to do the things I say god says...
The whole "my word comes from God" should be one of the biggest sins of they were at all close to reasonable.
What the actual fuck is this? One of those weird af exorcisms?
I think this one is an inorcism
what a brilliant word, i am absolutely gonna steal that <3
"Hey Satan, mind hopping in there real quick and sorting that shit out?"
I think we'd definitely be better off with Satan in charge.
At least we might get some decent music.
The Velvet Lurker.
Is giving Satan a near-Trump experience ethical though?
I bet none of them washed their hands first... or after.
They’re doing some sort of prayer, I’d guess something along the lines of “God let this man be your vessel to help achieve the glory of the kingdom of heaven on earth”
You know, kind of like asking a wolf to bring about a vegan paradise on earth
Idolatry, except we didn’t get a badass scene of Moses being pissed off.
It's the opposite of an exorcism, devils don't want to touch that shit
It's not a fuck, he's taking a huge dump on America.
No, he is exposing America for what it has always been. What he is doing to the interior of the empire is what this country has been doing to the global south for over a century.
America has never been the "Good Guy"™ willingly.
I hope I'll live long enough to see the world utopia brought about by the self-collapse of the US 😬
I will just be happy knowing that the American hegemony is ending even if I never get to see what comes after.
The old saying "plant trees whose shade you know you'll never get to sit"
Humans have been cutting each others' trees for millenia, but I like your optimism.
They have for much longer and more consistently shared the fruits of those trees when they aren't being manipulated by social forces that condition them to compete with each other for readily available resources.
Humans are a communal species by nature. We only need to encourage that nature instead of continuing to allow a small subsection of the population to abuse it.
Known dominionist doing extremist shit; once all the Muslims are gone the Christians are supposed to kill the Jews. Then Jesus returns. These people actually believe this and will use it as their justification to drag us all down with them.
Trump couldn't recite the first 5 words of the Lord's Prayer without a prompter.
I'm not sure he could do it with a teleprompter.
…without erupting in flames!
Or something like that anyway
Thank you.
I was going "our father who art... my father's name wasn't Art..." and it just wasn't working.
I'd love to see him try. He'd be off script within the first 10 seconds.
He'd have to "weave" into the parts that Putin, Obama, and Hannibal play part in the prayer
Our Father, which art...
...uh...
...which art foundation should we cut funding for next?
He's not a professed catholic. I'm sorry, he's a piece of shit, but Christians don't know this like Catholics do.
Catholics... ARE Christians. The original, some would argue.
Catholicism is derived from one of the few original Christian traditions that survived.
And the Greek Orthodox church has as much claim to that lineage.
One could argue that the Nestorians, the Copts and/or the Ethiopian church might be closer to the original.
Which is why I said "some would argue". I'm not trying to decide who is following Christ the best. Just saying, it's absurd to not include them in the term Christians, which I see people from the US do all the time (so I'm assuming it's a US thing).
Jesus fucking Christ
God save us from his followers.
And when St Peter reads Mike Huckabee the chronicle of his pig-ignorant hate-mongering life, Mike will soon become very familiar with Hell.
Edit: And if Trump hears from Heaven, it'll be in short installments: first blood, then frogs, then gnats, and so forth. If anyone's aspiring to be a modern Pharaoh, it's Trump (though he's more into his daughter than into siring kids from his sisters).
This timeline is absolutely wild.
I keep on hoping to wake up in an alternate timeline.
What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God's divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.
Don't assume logical coherence matters to those whackjobs.
Words, to them, are not to convey meaning. They're like squid ink to obscure that they're really up to.
That there is that annoying 'truth' thing they have done away with. Without it its all 'just your opinion man' and the one who shouts their opinion loudest wins.
Holy shit. The Christian version of the 1979 Iranian Revolutionary Guard has risen. God is not with MAGA.
Genocide Jesus bout to get down
Sometimes I wish Hell actually was real, just so I could see the looks on the faces of all the "Christians" that end up there with me.
Huckabee, you got a little ... right on your ... no the other side. Yeah, it's some orange jizz dripping down there, make sure you slurp it all up.
That sounds like it was written by AI right? I would love to know the what the prompt was.
I bet Mike Huckabee had tears in his eyes as he typed that out.
Some of those people have fully crossed into fantasy land and urgently need professional help (although I'm not sure either Israel or the US are the best places to find support for those who have gone away in the religious nutty realm).
And, conveniently, since he isn't actually talking to you, I'll let my voice tell you what HIS voice is saying.
ok captain relaxium.
You think it'd be only one nuke launched? lel
Who launches other nukes?
