No but they thump it all the time

Acquaintance from high school married a preacher man, "met" him on FaceBook. Very intelligent and well educated man. His doctorate in divinity is real, he worked for it, absolute expert. His arguments were well crafted and we loved poking each other. Plus, we were both hot pepper fanatics and growers. :)

Here's the point: That's the only Christian I've met in life that could actually debate Biblical views. I can turn most of them into a raging, spitting, cursing mess with a dozen questions, and they almost never engage for the whole dozen.

Guess I should include my best friend. He was a conservative Southern Baptist, very angry when I announced I had turned to atheism, though he was fine with me as a deist. LOL, I corrupted that fucker. Now he's an atheist, liberal, and supports gay rights. But again, he's an exception. His best traits are that he's intelligent, way more so than I, and best yet, he can admit he's wrong and is willing to examine his beliefs. Exceptions proving rules and whatnot.

Read?

If they had, they'd know there was a 13th disciple named Matthias. I'm not even kidding, it's in the Book of Acts. He was selected to replace Judas, and is described as having been with them since the beginning.

No. They wait for people on TV/Facebook to tell them what it says.

Very likely not. It's not an easy book to get through. Even the most devout will usually tap out at the begats.

While Matthias was only taking the chair left by Judas, Charlie would have really continued with the true legacy of Judas. 🙏

Or Paul, apparently.

If the beliefs held up to scrutiny they wouldn't be associated with the modern Republican party

Well he did a good job of upholding his PR for those who are dumb enough to believe it because he deceptively edited his videos for them.

Charlie Kirk totally PWNS 25 stupid crybaby liberal students

They are using his strong religious beliefs as a lighting rod. If you slam Charlie Kirk, you're basically slamming Christianity. It is easily used as a weapon.

Some dead people become martyrs and that has happened here.

That dumb fucking shooter.

Apparently that's what they respect. Make of that what you will.

This is why the fascists are winning. They know how to play the propaganda game. Libs would have shit bricks if we tried to politicize the murder and attempted murder of the Minnesota state lawmakers.

We're beyond playing fair and taking the high road, Democrats still playing the game from a decade past. And fucking losing.

Social effect, easy martyr. Fascism loves this.

they seem to be doubling down the fact the shooter was even further right than he is, the gop ,trump and MSM cant afford to alienate the right by blaming a right winger. its simple they cant blame thier own people. so they have make something up like tying obscure reference of the shooter associating with the "trans" people.

Technically Islam is, since it has roots in the arianism heresy

Lol, these fucking people. How can they not just get completely sick of themselves. I guess it takes having a monkey's level of self-awareness. I wonder if when they look in the mirror they get confused and aggressive at the thing staring back at them.

edit: I was very harsh on monkeys in this comment and I want to apologize to monkeys everywhere

"Dead guys wife is hot. Kids, too."

Don't drag poor togas into this!

If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it's symbol.

It's even worse: he's dead, so that makes it necrophilia.

That is how fascism works. You must constantly increase your loyalty and worship or else you're at risk of being the next one attacked.

Yes. Remember, they worship Supply Side Jesus, not the one described in the Bible.

"13th Disciple" is code for "2nd Judas"

Charlie would be wrestling that guy for the bag of silver coins.

Judas, specifically.

Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.

(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)

This is what I thought in 2016.

The only way they have no future is if we stand up to them and deprive them of it.

Nah Judas was literally stealing from charity

Yep, and Lucifer an angel.

i like the line of thought that judas was commanded to betray joshie boy, because he was the most diligent and faithful of the apostles.
