He was openly spreading propaganda against the lawful government too!

The dude was clearly a russian bot

Modern conservative Christians would have hated Jesus. Seriously.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 5 points 5 months ago

In the story, they are the Sadducees. Jesus scoffed at them. He went up against the Pharisees more, but that's something like a modern American leftist arguing against the Democrats. They tend to agree 95% of the time, at least on paper.

When I used to, like, try and be a good person, I often got to point out to Christians that I was the closest thing they would ever meet to their messiah. Watching their faces was so fun.

He's got long hair and wearing a dress, clearly one of those trans. Crucify it!

But what if he turned into back into water?

But also, wasn't the wine also his blood? Did he have like an blood alcohol level of 100%?

And doesn’t this make Catholics cannibals?

[–] Steve@startrek.website 22 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The catholics explicitly state that those crackers are the actual, literal “body of christ” so yes they are cannibals, and they like it.

It’s ok to eat a guy, just don’t be gay with him

[–] Steve@startrek.website 8 points 5 months ago

Just don’t tell anyone

[–] numlok@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Catholics are literally Trans.

And vampires.

Isn't wine only like 12-15%?

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago

Basically all those miracles are pretty easy sleight of hand.

Turn one fish into ten? Just requires a huge bag. Turn water into wine? It takes a few months, but the hard part is doing it well, not doing it at all. Turning blood into booze? You just need some everclear and an IV needle.

I think the blood thing was just for the last supper.

"Hey did you hear about Mary's kid? Yeah, the commie. They picked him up on Friday. I knew some shit was gonna go down, but it's a shame. He made us a really nice table back in the day."

As noted biblical historian Andrew Zaltzman has often pointed out, Pontius Pilate was a law-and-order administrator and Jesus was absolutely guilty under the law at the time.

Thought this was a linux joke initially given the volume of them on lemmy

Wasn't "woke" originally a good term until right wing screechers took it over at an insult? They do that a lot, every time some positive phrase or idea starts to gain traction. Seems intentional.

[–] PresidentCamacho@lemm.ee 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Poisoning a word that means "not ignorant of the systems of oppression in the world" sounds like a great game plan for the oppressor.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 7 points 5 months ago

Its still good. Their scorn is a badge of pride.

Quick, drink his blood and eat his flesh!

It's heavenly.

Is this a common thing said by conservatives?

[–] AFC1886VCC@reddthat.com 20 points 5 months ago (1 children)

It might be referring to the claim made by conservatives that George Floyd died of a drug overdose rather than being literally choked on the ground by a police officer

[–] frezik@midwest.social 11 points 5 months ago

Right, it happens every time cops beat or kill someone. They had cocaine in their systems, or they got arrested once before, or there's a teacher who said they got detention a lot. In their minds, that's enough to think of them as a Bad Person, and therefore deserved it.

Proton actually but close enough
