God, please protect this racist pedophile adulterous rapist thief.

Sincerely,

A “Christian”

To be fair, have you read the Bible? He'd fit right in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I have. He would fit in many places, Sodom, Gomorrah, the rapey parts of Genesis and Deuteronomy, or the slave promoting section of Leviticus…

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Plenty of parts of Revelations, too.

He, like Jesus, did call others he didnt like Dogs.

If you're only reading the old testament, then you're not reading the Bible.

If Jesus existed, he would beat Trump to death with his bare hands.

I feel like we should start calling these false Christians ~~Muslims~~ or Jews to fuck with them.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Maybe we shouldn't invoke other religions as an insult.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Muslim doesn’t make sense. The Quran includes the New Testament.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks for the correction. I thought the old testament was the divergence point of the Abrahamic religions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I was raised Catholic, so I remember it like this:

Jews: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: That’s great! Tell us all about it!

Muslims: God talked to one of our people.

Christians: There’s no fucking way that happened.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Honestly, you assume that a) the events are transcribed as they happened, b) that the people writing the letters and what have you that comprised the “books” weren’t just making shit up and c) that Jesus himself wasn’t a Joel Osteen-esque grifter holding his hand out telling rich dudes to give him all their wealth with a cheesy grin.

Most likely he had more in common with Osteen or Joseph Smith or Ron Hubbard than he did with some one who was actually socialist. He was, after all, purported to be a Jewish mystic and faith healer.

which do you think is more likely: it was all a grift or that he somehow managed to do all those miracles he’s ascribed? And all those disciples doing miracles too…. (And yet no one today can? Even though they realllllly believe?)

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's weird because the old testament was about the Jews. There weren't any Christians yet. If you are a Christian you should only be reading the New testament.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Nah. The Christian Bible includes the Old Testament (Torah) and the New Testament. The New Testament is a continuation of what they believe to be God’s word. Just like the Quran contains both the Torah and New Testament as well as several chapters that chronologically follow.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Jesus said he had not come to abolish the old law.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Looking at different Christian sects' leadership, this seems consistent.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No fuckin way he can bend like that

You can tell this is AI because the subject here would only ever be caught on his knees for Putin.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Lol, but true

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 month ago

May the next sniper be properly trained. In his noodley name we pray, R'amen.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

The evil is inside his own heart.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

I dont think he has the physical capacity to kneel, or get back on his feet if he does

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Of course, the fictitious despot of the Abrahamic faiths would have a fond opinion of the real would-be despot of America.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

An evil we can't even imagine: people who want life to be the best it can be for everyone. The horror!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Too much belly for this to be real.

(Don't flame me for perceived fatphobia. I know what not being able to tie your shoelaces feels like. I literally could not. 😂)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been seeing this kind of stuff for the last month. Of course most of my friends and family think Donald Trump is the annoited one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

They were warned that the faithful wouldn't recognize the antichrist.
