By their own definitions every single one of those people is going straight downstairs

Absolutely disgusting.

I am praying for Satan to collect his due. Preferably by tomorrow morning, in the guise of cheese burgers.

The Greasy Orange Antichrist actually thinks they are praying to him. And they might as well be. They are all complete and total fucking frauds.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 hours ago

They’re craven lunatics so they absolutely fucking are just praying to him.

Imagine if you could just set a couple hungry grizzlies loose in there and barricade all the exits, a lot of problems would be gone overnight.

Or, you know, drop a few bombs. Seems to be all the rage these days.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

It’s maddening, because it’s very fucking obvious, and these imbecilic rubes reliably fall for it, every goddamn time, hook, line, and sinker.

A lot of clergy know they're lying. The money and perks are good.

I’m putting those types into the “malicious actors/false prophets” category. My point is that an absolute shitload of “devout Christians” fall for their bullshit too, in addition to orangeboi.

And, of course, the response is invariably “oh, goodness, we didn’t know, we were fooled!” But why the fuck not? There are entire fucking sections in your imaginary friend book that talk about literally this exact fucking thing.

It would behoove the Christian community to recall Jesus (real or not) was born in Palestine, and ethnically Jewish who said he came to fulfill the law, not abolish it (and also that he's not the reincarnated Moshe, nor of the correct lineage, biblically) to be the Jewish Messiah, whether he's the Christian Messiah or not; and then to study the actual reasoning behind Jewish law (but that's like saying I should be able to thrive on CO² according to evolution, it may happen if the species survives long enough). Not the crazy exclusionary Rabbi who think antizionists are part of the "bad" Erev Rav, either; and that's as likely as evangelicals studying Jewish law. 🤷‍♀️

Maybe they’re praying for God to take him, like right now.

[–] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 13 hours ago

I know I am.

Oh lord give us money and people to abuse.

It’s nice to think that, if there’s a Hell, all those fuckers are headed there.

Sadly, there ain't. Justice is entirely our responsibility.

[–] lastweakness@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

One that we're slacking on as a world, apparently.

[–] MyTurtleSwimsUpsideDown@fedia.io 13 points 15 hours ago

To pray for Trump to suddenly grow a conscience, right???

Wearing $10000 suits.

[–] SalmiakDragon@feddit.nu 2 points 11 hours ago

Oh, for a second I thought this was a moment of proteat from the religious community, like "we'll pray for you, you lost soul". Silly of me.

My god is better than your god
