There is only one Christian, the one who died 2K years ago (if he lived) & he was a pacifist, the first hippy, & no doubt LGBTQ. Now we have white Maggot right wing bigots shouting how Christian they r. What joke.
Jesus was a bleeding heart liberal but the pope does not represent him in any way, shape or form. Jesus commanded his followers to never call anyone father or rabbi. Peter is the rock on which the congregation is built, not the pope. The Catholic Church are false prophets.
I hate him because he's the head of a misogynist, wealth hoarding business, that rapes children and who's only other purpose is to fleece the unwitting out of their tithe money.
I think that Francis was a breath of fresh air for the Vatican. As much as I like him, I'm NEVER going back to Mass nor will I consider myself Catholic. Not after what that Priest did to my brother.
The Vatican has long been paying child support payments for children born to teenage girls fathered by their priests. I don't think they expected that DNA would get so good.
I’m not Christian but seem to follow in Jesus’s steps more than the hypocrite republicans…they are exactly what Jesus was fighting….in a nonviolent way!
It’s why the Jewish crucified Jesus Christ in the first place. Remember, he doesn’t believe in superiority for those of us here in the flesh. It’s hard to argue that when if you’re Jewish, you believe you’re superior to all on earth. Jesus was a woke Palestinian and he’s watching you like Santa.
Also, I’m sorry, but I knew a lot of non-Zionist Jews, who, after October 7 became full-blown Zionist just didn’t manage to tell the rest of us. As a non-you myself I ain’t gonna be cucking for your superiority anywhere. Not in theory or in the flesh. Get more Jews out speaking against genocide!
A lot of white people in the south would’ve said they weren’t racist during Jim Crow but they had no problem going along. Same same to me as a non Jew looking from the outside in. Silence kills. We all know that. They know that from World War II.
I’m still waiting on all of those super open synagogues to condemn Israel and I haven’t seen it. I’ve seen two Jewish organizations condemn what Israel is doing. I have a hard time separating the Jews from the Zionist when they’re both playing in the same pig pen happily. Talmud? Superior? No? Ok.
Like I said, I know the ones that are less funded I March next to them. Im well-versed on the very small group of American Jews, who are out protesting what their holy land is currently doing to its native population. Just like I don’t decipher between YT people I don’t decipher between Jews.
I grew up Catholic, I am an athiest now, but of all the Popes in my lifetime, Francis is one of the best as far as his humanity. He is way too Christ-like for the American Catholic conservatives to fall behind him. They like to keep their fear and intolerance in place.
I know a catholic priest who went rogue, along with a handful of others, basically starting his own "fellowship in exile" because the pope is too liberal to be a valid catholic. It's pretty wild, and a lot of Evangelicals I encounter say similar things, though they hated "good catholic" popes too.
And they also have poverty vows, which other denominations simply ignore even though it’s one of the pillars of their faith. God’s grace was never intended for the rich, unless you are an American Christian.🤡
It is fascinating because the Christ-like disposition of Pope Francis has drawn new converts to Catholicism outside of the US and even non-religious and other religious people respect him like they would a historical rather than spiritual Jesus. But US far right Christians despise him, it is wild.
My god people- why do you think they crucified him??? He was a troublemaker that told them to stop being racist, money hoarders, and misogynistic assholes. 🤦♀️
If you defend the pope because "the enemy of my enemy..." and it makes a cute meme, it's because you're missing the point that he leads the world's largest pedophile ring and you wanted clicks. They are ALL cults.
& for those of you might not already understand
that the Right does in fact think of Jesus as too liberal,
allow me to introduce you to the concept of 'The Sin Of Empathy'
KKKhristian Nationalists have abandoned Jesus in favor of their new Deity. Hate is Love. Loyalty is Mandatory. Lies are Facts. Trump is Lord. Democracy is Dead.
Today, true Christians must ask themselves, am I a Carter Christian that helps others, or a fascist hateful KKKhristian Nationalist?
Well, we can be pretty sure your MIL won't have the opportunity to harangue Pope Francis in the afterlife, but it won't go the way she thinks... I'm hoping the Pope oulives this fascist regime.
I don't hate the Pope.
I hate that the head of a religion lives like a king, while people starve outside the walls of his castle. Jesus would not live there. Why should he?
The head of an organization with over a century's documented history of child rape, all over the world.
Somehow freedom of speech doesn't apply to that fact and the complete failure to investigate, sanction and prevent that organization from continuing to rape children.
If the story of the bible is true, IF then a large number of americans are in hell. Heck a large number of christians in general, maybe even the super majority as christianity preaches the word of jesus without acting on it.
Christian nationalist movement believes the purpose of the government should enforce far-right Christianity on the whole world; "secularism is a hollow construct" should be replaced by a government-run according to "evangelicals" With Trump control of federal powers.
Russ Vought, a Christian nationalist ghoul Trump nominated to run the OMB. Vought, in past years, especially in his leadership of Project 2025, he has revealed himself as a terrifying ideologue fixated on a fantasy of destroying the United States in order to rebuild it as a Christian theocracy.
These people aren't Christians.They are Nationalist. They have no idea what the word Christian means. There is no moral compass and no compassion. Jesus will not recognize any of them. They worship the hypocritical blasphemous lying trump because he hates the same people they hate.
Exactly! I grew up being warned that the antichrist is coming and will fool the most elect! What do Christians do when it came? The bought his lies, tennis shoes, watches, bit coins and started teaching against everything Jesus taught!
I like to imagine Jesus yelling into a mic about the people he hates on a podcast, but I can only hold the image in my mind for a moment or two before it explodes.
Jesus loves me yes I know
Well at least that’s how the song goes!
But Repugs want to take food from the poor,
Even Jesus didn’t condemn the whore!
They pray for The Lying King to prevail,
But me thinks they are all going to Hell (or hopefully jail).
I don’t dislike the pope. I hate the church for their history of brutality, their non adherence to the words of God. Their hypocrisy both in their teachings and their actions. And finally for their habit of bowing to supposed kings instead of having a moral conscience.
DO NOT ever call Jesus a Liberal in front of them! They lose their damn minds! They scream "HE IS NOT!" He has been spo bastardized by evil "pastors". THIS is their twisted version of Christ:
Amazing to me how American Christian cultists venerate the strictures of the Old Testament Ten Commandments but virtually ignore Christ's teachings in the Beatitudes.
Seems they dont want to follow #Jesus but use His name to try to recreate ancient Israel with themselves being the kings and priests.
Reminds me of when the Philistines stole the arc of the covenant to try to use the Power and ended up in a very bad situation...
Happy #Easter
If you hate, you are no longer a true Christian. But that is half the problem with this religion. It hates more than what it loves. The other half is that none of it is true, but that problem is inherent to all religions.
God. An imaginary character that lives in a book. Those who can't accept themselves accept an imaginary dude who praises their characteristics through words from a conman who .... lives by a book.
In modern religion, most of these guys like little boys. Jesus was a fictional character. He liked beggars and prostitutes. That's not really related to a liberal democracy. Or an argument. Christianity is filled with morons and redundancies to protect themselves from their own flawed morals.
Turns out, Pauline theology (the basis of Protestantism) makes it so you don’t have to care about what Jesus taught. It’s unlikely that Paul himself knew what Jesus taught. You just have to *worship* him.
Christianity is not the religion of Jesus, it’s a religion *about* Jesus.
First day as Pope, Francis' valet brought him the little red slippers pontiff's typically wear when they're pitter-pattering around the Vatican.
Pope Francis said, "Take these back. Bring me my work shoes."
Idk dude, remember that scene where Jesus refused to let a starving Samaritan woman sit with them or eat with them, and only permitted her the crumbs off the floor after her continued begging? Because I think about that a lot, especially as a juxtaposition of the Good Samaritan fable.
There is an aspect of the Jesus mythology that is undeniably xenophobic in nature and it's important to remember that context. This doesn't invalidate Jesus the philosopher, not unlike Alan Watts and his whole beating his wife thing
I am in no way a catholic, and while Pope Francis does still hold some pretty archaic views. I am always pleasantly surprised by the stance he has taken on certain subjects (only to have the Church immediately walk it back). Think of where things might be if Benedict was still creeping around.
Evangelicals follow Republican Jesus. He’s a dude from some nameless STL suburb; a high-school dropout who drives a pickup truck, lives in a trailer, has like 5 baby-mamas and owes child-support to all of them. He recently traded his mullet for a Hitler Youth crew cut and a sculpted beard.
They are those who resist by helping people, for example sued they a southern state that aboetionnis part of their religion and it can't be illegal. Or that they have to accept "satanist" (teaching evolution) after school clubs competing with Christian clubs ....
The biblical Jesus wasn’t a liberal, but by all accounts, an anarchist. He denounced capitalism & the concept of human authority. He preached and practiced direct action, and “from each their ability, to each their need.” He overturned tables. Liberals are the ones who reported him to the Romans.
No, I “dislike” the pope and any Catholic who shares in his backward uneducated opinion about transgender ppl. I like to think I’m about as liberal as anyone else. I have had so called liberals even blame Tg ppl for the election loss. From my end of life there are frakk’d up ppl on all sides.

Bec that "turn the other cheek" isn't working out for #AfghanWomen or #YazidiWomen is it?
Christianity hasn’t been pure since it was the salvation of Perpetua.

Jesus washed the feet of the poor and infirm, preached for julibee (the forgiving of debts) and opposed unjust authority.
My man was a socialist, if not an anarchist.
Liberalism has a definition and doesn't include any of this stuff.
I hate him because he's the head of a misogynist, wealth hoarding business, that rapes children and who's only other purpose is to fleece the unwitting out of their tithe money.
Jews do not believe they are superior. Zionists do.
Zionism does not represent Judaism. Many Jews believe the exact opposite.
I'm not Jewish.
I just protest alongside Jews against Israel, like many, many Jews do,
so I know that Zionism isn't Judaism.
Zionism is pernicious and 10/7 gave plenty the excuse to come out into the open,
but they were always like that.
Antizionists don't often convert to Zionism.
Large usually means AIPAC funded, though.
There are many Jewish anti-Zionist groups. Understandably less well-funded.
The leftishts hate him for well, being part of the Catholic Church, and not managing to fully reform all of its countless abuses and coverups.
The right hates him for seeming leftish.
It's a bummer because the result will be a worse next one
I have some very bad news for you.
It's all bullsh*t lady.

Wait until they find out where he is actually from, and what he more than likely looked like.
Maybe he would then be everything they hate...

JR: Spirit? They used to say Holy Ghost. That’s like some Scooby-Doo shit, right?
JC: No. I am love.
JR: Jamie, can you pull up some articles on this Jesus guy?
JC: Why do I still bother with them?
