Just like Jesus wanted!
ITT: people discovering why there are so many branches of Christianity
Did he consider that if his prayer was granted, he’d get a lightning bolt right up his own ass?
Pray for violence is a good band name
Ah yes, the racist warrior Jesus killer of innocents cult.
I hope he takes his lethality and shoves it so far up his ass he tickles his tonsils.
“My god is the god of love and compassion, and if you don’t believe in him, fuck you, I hope he kills you before I do.”
I always loved getting Buddhism as a religion in Civilization. Then spreading it everywhere at the point of the sword.
YOU WILL ACCEPT PEACEFUL ENLIGHTENMENT, OR YOU WILL DIE!
His words are antithetical to Jesus’s teachings. Diametrically opposed even. Perhaps even a smidge Anti-Christ-ian to anyone with morals or brains or a shred of bravery to stand against this? Hmmm?
It irks me when people try and counter this kind of stuff by arguing that Jesus was all about love and peace and kum-bah-yah blah blah blah. Because
- Trying to mount arguments based on logic with these people is an exercise in futility
- If you’ve read the book, he kinda really wasn’t
- His “teachings” are either the fanciful musings of some illiterate shepherds, or state-sanctioned propaganda, and either way, are kind of worthless from a philosophical or moral standpoint
- Most importantly, religion has absolutely no place in government, and that’s what we should be saying every time something like “the monthly Pentagon Christian religious service, headed by one of the highest officials in the federal government” crops up in the news, instead of this pedantic attempt to paint Jesus as some peaceful figure
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, hosting his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began, prayed Wednesday to have “every round find its mark.”
Pete Hegseth is a weak dork.
He and his entire administration cohort deserve no mercy
When did “cohort” start being used this way outside maybe academic/scientific settings?
I started hearing it a couple of years ago. For 40 years ago it was only ever “you and your cohorts”, more like “gang”.
Cohort has been a military term since at least roman times.
Not sure that’s how Christianity is supposed to work…
glances at the history of Christianity
There isn’t a religion on the planet that hasn’t been manipulated and misconstrued to encourage violence against others.
It almost seems like that’s the whole point…
“a way of thinking”. It’s not just religion that gets people blood thirsty. It is human nature unfortunately. We need to rise above our animal selves
Yeah, but when a way of thinking is based from the outset around letting authority figures dictate your beliefs it becomes a hell of a lot easier to manipulate. Other ideologies have to at least pretend to be logically coherent. Religion doesn’t have that limitation.
Other ideologies do not have to pretend to be logically coherent. Phrenology and Eugenics were fairly widely accepted by colonial era Europeans and had no logical coherence. White supremacy continues to be a worldview/ideology for a not so small minority even today and has no real logical coherence.
Any ideology can gain widespread adoption if it fits with what people want to believe.
Such a wonderful Christian soul.
Don’t cry when violence comes to your doorstep then, Petey.
When you encourage violence against others, you invite it on yourself. It would normally destroy me if I caused grievous harm to another, but Nazis? I could off them and sleep with a clear conscience.
Right on par with the lunatics in charge of Israel and Iran.
I mean… he has crusade tattoos on his chest. Tf did Americans expect?
