Attention whoring as usual. And it’s working.

She still looks like a neanderthal tho so at least we've got that going for us.

[–] Jaysyn@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

MTG very obviously doesn't really believe in the religion she claims to follow.

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 3 hours ago

Most Republicans don't. Never have in my lifetime, honestly, but with how hard they fight these days against e.g. feeding the hungry and treating the sick, it's more glaringly obvious than ever.

Dumbest schism ever.

They really hated him because he was a little more tolerant of minorities.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 16 points 15 hours ago

She hated him because he was at least a little ok with some LGBT.

I hated him for being the leader of one of the biggest, most corrupt organizations ever to exist on the planet.

We are (fucking definitely) not the same.

[–] NutWrench@lemmy.ml 23 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 10 points 16 hours ago

Magic the gathering is not that evil. Is it?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 12 points 17 hours ago

MTGs existence might be the strongest argument against a caring god.

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 13 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.

My god did Vance kill the Pope!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 31 points 22 hours ago

How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 17 points 1 day ago

The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"

These people are crazy. Even if you think that, keep it to yourself.

Y'all would have killed Jesus.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 38 points 1 day ago (3 children)

fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.

If you believe in that sort of thing.

The Abrahamic god is literally a war god. It evolved from El and Yahweh, members of the pantheon of the polytheistic Canaanite religion. El is the father of all gods and Yahweh is a weather and war god. So yeah no wonder that the Abrahamic god does crazy evil shit. Like killing all first born sons.

You just inspired another wikipedia rabbit hole. See you in a week!

I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 6 points 17 hours ago

And this pope was one of the least evil!

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

I guess she’s gotta be right at least once

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's even worse than most of the shit Donald Trump says. Does this mean she's running for president?

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 18 points 22 hours ago

This fucking bitch.

[–] Steve@communick.news 96 points 1 day ago (6 children)

Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 96 points 1 day ago (5 children)

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically

If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.

This is the result of 40 years of Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other Right Wing Grifters that followed.

They know the lowest of us love cruelty as comedy.

don't forget the fucking "Westboro Baptist Church"

Vultures.

It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.

That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.

You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 12 hours ago

Maybe god is like Santa

Everyone knows Santa favors the rich kids
