Going down the rabbit hole and this guy appears to stridently believe in a hollow earth populated by nephilim/aliens/demons? Dude has a whole-ass church out there in Utah, sure that’s not concerning.
I thought the same thing...Jesus is allll about empathy...not sure whom yabo--- is but im scared to look it up 😬😬😬. Im not religious anymore but...its wild to me that religious people hate on the bishop!
Trump strikes me as a Chaos Undivided type though. Convoluted and egotistical like a Tzeentchian, ill-caring of health and apathetic like a Nurglite, hedonistic and self-centered like a Slaaneshi.
You're right, the more that I think about it, the line about not committing the sin of empathy reads like a word bearer riling up a world eater or chaos trooper.
It's so crazy to me that these people are so desperate to accrue the legitimacy of following Christ but are also so unwilling to abide by His literal teachings.
Unfortunately there is no literalist reading, and we are always bringing in our priors and competing for primacy of interpretation. With Vance in the WH we're going to see a brief and grotesque flowering of the bullshit Intregalists like Vermuele worked up https://firstthings.com/a-christian-strategy/
Aside from empathy not being a sin obviously, I don't think Jesus would have ever said, "you need to properly hate in response." There is righteous anger, but hate? No, never, that's anti-Christlike. I'm offended by how wrong this is, and I'm not even Christian.
This is... no, this *has to be* satire was my first reaction, as well. But then somehow all MAGA and evangelical "christans" absolutely read as satire anyway.
She's a good woman.
I wish she could have read the room and not mentioned trans kids when she was telling off Trump. Because Fox played that over and over again as a sound bite and it's all their viewers heard. If she could have just left trans kids out of it, republicans would have nowhere to run.
She is not the woman to obey in advance. Also, remember the poem of Niemoller? We can make our own version already: “first, they came for the trans people.” Guess she didn’t want the next line to be: “and I did not speak out because I wasn’t trans”.
I know. I strongly believe in speaking out for trans people. However, one must be conscious of giving fascists easy material for propaganda.
Her words could have made many people who call themselves Christian think and feel ashamed. Instead, her words became fodder to increase hate for trans people.
Because trans is always a step too far? Turns out they were never Christian in the first place. Fascists change their taste in hatred all the time. Look at who they now embrace but used to hate!
They are certain that they are writing a new book in the Bible, one that encompasses the rapture, earthly battles against demons, destruction of their perceived enemies, etc. They are huffing their own farts & convinced they will be remembered as heroes & prophets.
Yeah we’re all gonna feel pretty dumb when it turns out the Episcopal Church is just a front for Slaaneshi sex cultists and the Emperor’s Children descend for an eternity of torture orgies and terrible music
Evangelicalism is the categorical rejection of the golden rule. Amazing how something so transparently blasphemous got a monopoly on the public narratives of Christianity.
All of these people would be better off just admitting that they believe Nietszche’s “Christianity is a slave morality” claim instead of trying to twist Christianity into what they want it to be.
This POS wouldn’t recognize Jesus if He walked up and kissed him on the mouth. He would call Him several slurs and then have Him deported. When Jesus said “Love your enemies” he didn’t leave room for hate.
I know, I've got dozens of mourning vampire elves in the queue. But surely the Battle Sisters would be the best abolitionists... Surely it's not a big addition... surely you don't have enough plastic...
Currently unpainted? At the moment yes, I just started the Guard, hahaha. 2 base cadians and some Kasrkins painted only, with a LARGE backlog. But union sisters eventually.....

I've often compared warhammer/40k and their fandoms to the simpsons froghurt sketch, where for every good thing/selling point you have to accept a corresponding curse. That said, this is one of the wonderfully good things that make such deals worth it.
There's basically two kinds of 40k fans: the kind who see the fictional fascism, miss the satire just think the fascism is cool, and those who absorb the satire so thoroughly that they spot the genuine fascist article in the wild at 100 paces and clown it so hard it'd make Cegorach weep.
lol idk I’m pretty sure all the factions are allegories for various aspects of human evil — the ‘nids represent pollution and climate change, IMO! I think everyone picks the faction representing the issue they care the most about, subconsciously.
Generally speaking, yeah. The former try their best to be loud enough to make you believe otherwise, but they're generally more noise than actual numbers.
In another game, I painted my army of fire-and-brimstone fanatic knights with dark blue colors, bible citations about justice and breaking yokes, robots named after lines from Battle Hymn... it's pretty fuckin' cool.

Mix in a bit of Orwell's "two minutes hate" and you're good to go

(Yes I know there's no point fixating on the hypocrisy it just blows my fucking mind)
I'm with the Tyranids now. Respect.

I've read right wing posters deliberately justifying taking aid away from Ukraine by saying "Europeans hate us".
How often do you read a comments online like, "as a Canadian…” followed by some smug about how Americans are stupid? Actions have consequences.
What a brave woman she was, how can anybody deny she spoke the right words?
USA is so lost right now.

HALF LIGHT [Trivial: Success] - ...and yours too. She hates Her and Her people. You need to properly hate in response.

Of course they're going to ham it up a little bit
They are certain that they are writing a new book in the Bible, one that encompasses the rapture, earthly battles against demons, destruction of their perceived enemies, etc. They are huffing their own farts & convinced they will be remembered as heroes & prophets.
It’s a bad look to be less rational than a 40k character ranting about chaos.
Jesus: “I really wish I could give up on you people sometimes”
My guess is the three day break wasn’t long enough.
There's some great physics questions there.
... so... Christ is a neutral boson...?
At least in the category of "wasn't meant to be funny"
Do one special swuad and see how you feel anout it.
