Much like Judas.

Republicans pretending to be "Christians" never ceases to amuse

Charlie "Empathy is Evil" Kirk?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 13 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago) (1 children)

Yes. Remember, they worship Supply Side Jesus, not the one described in the Bible.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

Angry Jesus. He is out beating up the gays right now.

"13th Disciple" is code for "2nd Judas"

Charlie would be wrestling that guy for the bag of silver coins.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

I grew up religious and don't think I'd heard that. Is it a Catholic thing?

[–] emmy67@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Wasn't Judas the 13th disciple?

[–] wasabi@feddit.org 1 points 2 hours ago

No, he was one of the twelve disciples.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

He wouldn't have needed 30 pieces of silver.

[–] scathliath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Actually, correct me if I'm wrong but that was Matthias who replaced Judas Iscariot after he gave himself a neck stretch.

[–] MoonMoon@lemmy.world 5 points 9 hours ago

Yup. He brought the total living disciples back up to 12, but was the 13th to be chosen.

MAGA is a bad book club.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Imagine being Steven Crowder right now.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 17 hours ago

At what point do you admit that you're just licking assholes?

[–] llama@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

The goal of Christianity is to convince Indo-Europeans that they have a divine right to use the entire world and universe as their frontier for the endless pursuit of personal sovereignty. It's a scam to convince a large portion of the population that they're in on being a "chosen one" so they'll coerce themselves into expanding the tax base of whatever the major empire of the time is.

[–] derry@midwest.social 1 points 9 hours ago

Hear me out in this one, if by disciple they mean Peter who cut off a Romans ear, or Judas who sold out Jesus, or Thomas who doubted Jesus return, then yeah I get it.

[–] tamal3@lemmy.world 31 points 21 hours ago

Holy fuck, I am so sick of this.

[–] Hector@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

So true, such a pillar of the community, really an example for everyone to live by. Of course the fucking Libs won't tell you that cuz they hate freedom but we're going to fix it. /s

Judas 2: Electric Bugaloo

[–] Prancingpotato@lemmy.world 24 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Come on, a Palestinian man preaching love and compassion ? The whole lot of them would call him a communist terrorist...

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it's symbol.

[–] Flickerby@lemmy.zip 9 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Who says their God hasn't already tried to come back dozens of times but he keeps getting bombed because he's middle eastern

[–] abbiistabbii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 17 hours ago

What if the Messiah is like the avatar cycle and every generation the Messiah comes back to teach the world shit.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 17 points 21 hours ago

Reality is meaningless to these people. They just make up whatever, it’s a massive circlejerk.

[–] PillBugTheGreat@lemmy.world 19 points 22 hours ago

The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 27 points 1 day ago

And lo, Charles did look down upon the leper, and he did pronounce "ugh, get a job!"

[–] ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 27 points 1 day ago (3 children)

If you think Jesus got pissed with the money lenders at the temple he would have completely lost his shit with Charlie Kirk. Even Judas would have been grossed out.

American Far-Right Evangelicalism is the biggest heresy in 21st century Christianity and possibly the most wide spread heresy in the history of the religion.

Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

Very likely not. It's not an easy book to get through. Even the most devout will usually tap out at the begats.

[–] Akuchimoya@startrek.website 8 points 21 hours ago

If they had, they'd know there was a 13th disciple named Matthias. I'm not even kidding, it's in the Book of Acts. He was selected to replace Judas, and is described as having been with them since the beginning.

No. They wait for people on TV/Facebook to tell them what it says.

Only with "Republican Jesus". You know, the white guy wearing a toga, a cross, and an AR15.

Hell, surprisingly, still has room for these fuckers.

I forgot Jesus said to love thy neighbor, but only if they’re white so you know they’re not a DEI hire.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 102 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (8 children)

Jesus already had a 13th apostle... Dude doesn't know about Matthias.
