They should be praising Earth and plant each a couple of trees. What about that idea? No more plastic in the Oceans, no more weapon production=> no more wars?
Your promoting an authoritarian, misogynistic belief in an old fantasy story, against a futuristic fantasy story that is fighting against the authoritarian.
Everyone needs a bit of fantasy, but maybe we need to praise reality, honesty, protecting the vulnerable, the earth, & being compassionate.
Jokes make me laugh. You must realize, if you say something weird like he did, your going to get weird responses. He started it with a stupid statement, no one got the joke but his fans. And why didn’t you just continue on. I do laugh when someone wants me to do something they won’t do.
Maybe you should mind your own business. How does it feel being told what to do by someone who knows nothing about you?
Matthew 7:1:

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
Yeah, but the whole thing was an intricate plan of the Emperor's to assassinate Tarkin and his Moff junta and put Vader in charge of the Empire's military. 🤪
Children recognize a good story when they see one, and know that all the nonsense in the Bible is invented or stolen from other invented religions. Sci-Fi, on the other hand, is exciting and makes more sense than 2000-year-old lies. At the altar of science, God will die in silence and indifference.
What I did discover this month is that, despite no longer believing in God, I am still very Catholic. In fact, it might make me MORE Catholic. I'm like the Reform Jew of Catholics.
Awww, did they offend you by dissing your SHITTY fucking LIE?
The bible is idiotic. God is literally unbelievable, but even if you pretend he's there, he's a piece of shit abuser who should be relentlessly OPPOSED, never worshipped.
Grow up. People die for these stupid, comforting lies. Thank you.
Yeah, y’all are really taking it to the church when you’re taking literally a very common joke about youth pastors. Great job. Definitely not losers who need to get off the internet
I think we’ve crossed the Bluesky Event Horizon where it’s impossible to determine whether the “not getting the joke” replies are themselves a joke or not.
We're dealing with a violent cult that thrives on stupidity. Can THEY tell this is just a joke, or do their stupid god brains light up because it sounds like something they'd hear at church?
It's worth being very clear: No reasonable person believes in god. God is a baseless, damaging lie.
I think it should be self evident that not everything in life revolves around the current political moment, as abhorrent and pervasive as it appears to be.
People who follow Roger's work know this is a joke and don't need the disclaimer.
Touch grass. I know you've already been told to touch grass but you absolutely need to touch grass more. It may help you to identify an obvious joke in an oft-repeated format so you will embarrass yourself in public less often.
Absolutely incredible. Completely losing your mind because somebody made a joke you failed to understand then telling somebody else their reading comprehension needs work.
Most human lives are worth fighting for, so I'll ignore dipshits like you who are comfortable letting them die, and will continue trying to help them regardless of how many people tell me to do things I already do.
We get it your parents were pieces of shit. Congrats, you too are now being a piece of shit. Grow the fuck up, go to fucking therapy and stop making your fucking issues everyone else's problem.
Where the hell have y'all been hiding? Under a goddam ROCK? With all the MAGAt "christians" out there espousing their noxious form of religion, who's to know. Besides, it's not even clever.
The replies on here are disgusting. Shame on you all for responding with abject misogyny, indifferent hostility and cruel mockery to someone merely sharing their POV and then also having the audacity to imply that the OP is the problem. The straw man arguments are off the rails
Thank you! 💗 It's so frustrating when people go out of their way to miss the point, provoke a reaction, and then act like they're superior for not engaging with the actual content. It's hard for me not to get blindingly angry when everyone's lives are at stake and people act like it's a game.
lay deacon at your local parish: be thankful for all you have. as a matter of fact, a tauntaun would have provided more warmth than the simple rock where saint kevin chose to make his bed
Just weird to tell shitty jokes about an active threat, especially when that threat relies on spreading through any means.
Is there a chance this "joke" (it's REALLY unfunny, considering the logical "and/or" probably did inspire this sci-fi character's name) could reinforce those harmful delusions?
There are 4,000 distinct religions in the world. The difference between you and a believer is they believe in one less than you. You’re correct it has the potential for great harm but that’s ignoring an awful lot of good it does as well. I’d only ask that some

Real good people don't need to join violent death cults to achieve their goals. Real good people care enough about the truth to know better than to believe the bible, and real good people CERTAINLY wouldn't worship an abusing, lying, genocidal maniac like yahweh.
I understand your anger, I’ve felt your anger. I don’t have a faith, but I’ve learned it’s not the beliefs that make people bad- they were already bad people and perverted the belief to fit them. Most people of faith are good, normal people. Who is a more positive person than Rodger?
Well, yes, I am a human being. But you aren't helping your cause here. Mainly, what you're doing is looking like an asshole. And that's fine, if that's your goal.
“Kids these days” (lol) as if your generation didn’t favor certain TV shows. How do you know that they’re not actually praising both the Trinity and their favorite show? It doesn’t have to be one or the other. As a grandmother of five, I’ve found that the Holy Spirit moves in His own time/space.

To be logically correct, it should be: the father and/or the son and/or the holy ghost.

10/10 dad joke
Guess I can put a plug in here for the worship of the Great Mother.
She doesn't push men to rape people.
It's all perspective.
The church deserves to be mocked at every opportunity

Yeah. I think these are the things of which heresy, councils, internal Crusades and religious wars are made….
Praising Vader, Luke and/or the Force.
This is the way
Gatekeeping? Let me tell you about someone who couldn’t be held back by any gate, let alone a huge stone…
It's worth being very clear: No reasonable person believes in god. God is a baseless, damaging lie.
Thanks!

Log off, go outside.
I did try therapy, multiple times.
Ask questions. Be very careful.
All of our lives are at stake.
ASK QUESTIONS OR SHUT THE FUCK UP, YOU CANCER.
You can't make them obvious enough to not draw a certain type of person in.

My goal is not to look like an asshole, looking like an asshole is acceptable risk for the "reward" of saving lives.
The only reason anyone does not loudly and clearly oppose the cult is because they do not understand it.
See you in Hell.
Even the ones who are malding in the replies. They need to build up their resistance if they’re to survive the winter.
