Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

Reading that book without the context of other books of the bible and like Paul’s writing in particular is just plain stupid.

Knowing the context makes it worse in my opinion, but you do you.

You know what's really stupid? Thinking Jesus is a beacon of peace, He's horrifying. If you can't handle Him murdering everybody in a rage, you can't get through the Bible anyway.

    This is a pretty silly take. Look, I'm an atheist myself and I'm someone who is of the opinion that religion has been a net negative for humanity, but I also know pretty well what I'm talking about when it comes to Christian theology, eschatology, and biblical principles, and I can tell you don't know what you're talking about when it comes to this subject. There's plenty to be critical of the Bible about, but you haven't really hit any of the points at all. If you don't know the subject very well, you probably shouldn't form such strong opinions on it.

    You saying it's a silly take is ignorant and misinformed.

    I know what I'm talking about too, with over a decade of Christian education from three denominations and many years of Bible studies besides. Your education was apparently shit, I hope you didn't pay for it!

    Perhaps you should study some more so you can catch up with me?

    Jesus will murder everyone who won't submit to Him on His return. This is a FACT, no opinion involved... according to the Bible, anyway.

    I can't help but notice you went straight to ad hominem and didn't engage with any argument. It seems as though you more so just want to be angry than anything else. Where I can definitely personally sympathize with what appears to be a strong anger toward Christianity/Christians, it's pretty counterproductive to lash out because of it. What good is it to do so when it only perpetuates your own anger and serves to cause Christians to double down on confirmation bias? Making sweeping generalizations about Christianity would only serve to put Christians on the defensive and make them extremely unreceptive. What good is that other than causing more discord and anger?
