Jesus said to keep him out of this

By my reckoning Trump has broken 9 of the 10 commandments. (the exception being the mum and dad one) I doubt Jesus will be wearing a MAGA hat.

I left the Methodist church when the minister refused to countenance a gathering to discuss Israel's genocide of Palestinians, even when I sent multiple links from Palestinian Christians asking for support from Western Christians. I was offered a prayer meeting.

Yes, I guess for certain Methodists the Palestinians have a ‘respectability’ problem.

Not so the neat and reasonable people linked to Israel.

The Methodists have always had a reactionary segment within its ranks. Its not as bad as the Anglicans, but it is still there.

You’re a hero. Thank you.

Its what happened when the Methodists split over slavery

David Elliott's avatar

Um yes. I thought I was being facetious but your comment about the Methodists and slavery made me feel I had probably been inspired.

By ‘respectability’ I suspect I meant ‘demanding respect’ which can be interpreted as ‘strong and imposing’. This would describe those ‘respectable’ people who kept slaves.

As ever it resolves down to support for either oppression (of some kind) or equality and integration.

But then maybe you read it this way anyway?

Jesus wept. But then LOL while reading this.

OMG, Laura, you’re killing me with laughing and crying. Thanks for all your writing lately; it keeps me going.

And even with this, Trump repeats often, he may not be going to heaven until he rebrands it another Trump Golf and Resort.

Alas, Jesus did return but as a schoolgirl in Minab.

The stuff we thought was made up is real .. the stuff we thought was real is made up… I just can’t focus anymore

Opportunity for satire is so abundant, Laura, you are spoiled for choice!

I admire your ability to decide which insanity to write about next.

Let’s try this again.

Jesus told his disciples that he’d see a camel will pass through the eye of a needle before he’d believe anything that the rats and asses in israel and the u.s.a. say.

Now go in peace, and read your Epstein files, not that wholly babble.

It sounds like you have actually been talking to some of the dumber Americans

Rebel Nun's avatar

They seem to be in charge.

Feral Finster's avatar

The ones in charge don't believe any of it, but use it to fleece the rubes. If they truly thought that Jesus' return was imminent, why do they so frantically lay up for themselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal?

All Hail the Queen of Snark!

I am a bit lost (in the translation :)). Will this war bring Jesus? or the Messiah? or Poverty? Or Chaos? ...

With the probable extinction of humans, Peace on Earth!

Three In One with Curry Sauce's avatar

fyi you’re cannon fodder for Jesus lmao

Rebel Nun's avatar

I’m not suggesting anything; I’d rather it didn’t happen anywhere, but isn’t Armageddon prophesied to be the destruction of Jerusalem? Israel just moved it?!? And the Christian nutheads just went along?

I hope when Jesus (peace be upon him) comes back, he’s super brown and Arab looking. Just to irk the mega church grannies who want blonde, ripped ponytail Jesus.

Just wait until the Christians supporting this War, find out what their Counterparts from Israel think of Jesus and Christianity. Christians have more in common with Muslims.
