JFC. There is no excuse in the year 2025 for any adult to believe in angels, Santa Claus, God, or the tooth fairy.

That’s because america is suffering from a collective psychosis.

The only person I know who truly adamantly believes in angels was meth head for years, so...

Politicians of all stripes get the most over the top crosses on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday - performative Catholicism

#MAGA is a coalition of the credulous and the sinister.

It doesn’t exist without a significant number of the citizenry being willing to surrender their own reason.

And, that’s exactly what religious belief trains a person to do.

I look at that Rubio pic and think of Brad Pitt in inglorious bastards

I believe in votes. Those are my angels.

Idiots. American Christianity is so bastardized, warped, and stupid.

If you can conceive it, then it is possible.

Does a fake Fallen Angel & his henchmen count?
Because I'm beginning to believe in that.

jennybigcat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Angels are real. However, the evangelical right is not working with them.

neuroglider.bsky.social•1 day ago

Just go on over to the GOP. We don’t need supercilious, superstitious, sycophants here.

jennybigcat.bsky.social•1 day ago

Uh, excuse me. I'm not a Republican, just a witch who works with Archangels. And trust me, us witches are not MAGA. We've actually been pushing back against those assholes. You're welcome.

Did he use fElon donOLD's sharpie to mark himself as property of the fElon?

Well we may have to spread the knowledge and signs that Trump is really the anti Christ. If we’re smart about it, it could take off…

Also, putting on your own forehead ashes with a magic marker is a sin against God.

In 2016, I said that Trump could win bc people believe in the biblical creation story and virgin birth.

Like my mother did, she also voted for Nixon, twice and diaper-boy. So what does that say about her and her loon friends.

To me “angels” are living beings who utterly surprise us with joy and compassion, so all dogs, drag queens, and a very few other, noble people. Now if one gets into theoretical astrophysics, space, and time, there are unknowns to consider. Could sentience from outside our spacial plane intercede?

And may he (they) return to dust soon

looktogod.bsky.social•1 day ago

That assumes they/ we all are using the same definition for that word. I'm pretty sure the concept varies Widely across the belief spectrum.
In my church and probably a few others, angels are just the spirits of those to come or those who went before. It's barely used.

mcsweeney.bsky.social•1 day ago

I leave people to decide for themselves whatever they chose to feed their spiritual side or soul. But their bastardized, fundamentalist view of religion is merely used as a means to control. Nothing akin to the teachings of Christ or the Christianity implied by Shakespeare or overtly by C.S. Lewis.

katechase.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s 100% related. Maybe we shouldn’t elect people who believe in demons, call me crazy.

rachelbitecofer.bsky.social•1 day ago

I always thought it’d be helpful to have rationality and science when trying to make decisions

katechase.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nope, it’s all miracle toast messages now

katechase.bsky.social•1 day ago

Should have burned campaign slogan onto toast, that’s where we are now.

Isn't the Devil an angel?

notgoingback802.bsky.social•1 day ago

When we were kids we were supposed to show up and get ashes on ash wed, but invariably we would find a cigarette butt on the ground and do our own. As I recall I don't think we ever got caught.

notgoingback802.bsky.social•1 day ago

WTF

eeheli.bsky.social•1 day ago

Looks more like a “mark of the devil” on this hypocrite than the Christian symbol of repentance & purification for Ash Wednesday.

lindalx1.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hey Rubio, are you feeling all Christian sitting in the Oval office while your president is bullying President Zelensky while Ukrainians are dying or freezing to death. Your family must be so proud of you.

minmomismean.bsky.social•1 day ago

How hypocritical to display ashes while supporting putin/facisism

annevw.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is performative Catholicism/Christianity - where people want to be seen as pious, but they don't practice what Jesus taught his followers to do.

bluesueintex.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Can confirm an abundance of this.

We have Station of the Cross, on Fridays , if he’d like to attend. It might be a good warm up for his Reconciliation.
