Totally not a death cult.
(lemmy.world)
jesus only approves of devices that can kill more than 100 humans per minute. praise the lord
"Praise the lord and pass the ammunition"
In fairness, I've always heard that quote in the context of negotiating with Nazis.
So this church seems a lot creepier than that quote, even.
Exactly.
While I love all of Dan Romer's contributions to that game, as someone who's studied cults, Ubisoft did such a disservice getting cults so wrong while Christian nationalism was taking over our Federal government.
It's a recurring rant of mine.
Ubisoft may have not portrayed cults appropriately, but the soundtrack remained me of my childhood so much that it sold me. I still listen to it unironically, and probably unhealthy.
Naw, Romer nailed the rural gospel sound so hard. I put some of the FC5 soundtrack on my playlist as well.
Sword-mouth Jesus is going to look a bit out of place.
American ammosexuals are deeply fucked up
Ooh, ammosexuals is good. I'm gonna steal that one.
Share and enjoy; I stole it from someone else
Nice thing about not being tied to the Cult of Capital. Free sharing of things... at least the things it hasn't figured out how to enforce monetization of, yet.
I mean... At least a black guy got it, so he can defend himself from, you know, the rest of the church
He doesn't have to worry about them, "he's one of the good ones."
European here. Could some kind spirit explain? Did that guy get a gun gifted for visiting church? Or did he visit church with a gun and it got somehow automagically blessed cos it was there with him? Sry, scratching my head over these rituals.
It was some sort of Father's Day contest or raffle and the winner got an AR-15. This isn't even all that unusual.
If you search for AR-15 church, you'll see a bunch of stories.
America is a very fucked-up place.
This one isn't all that far, geographically speaking from the megachurch down in Springfield that brings in tanks and armored vehicles for their conferences on "christian manhood" (pardon the reddit link...)
In some real rural areas, you'll have Sherrifs going up for election throwing raffles to buy votes, newer ideas are guns, but most of the time it'll be meat (like a quarter of a cow, or maybe a full half if they have $ to throw around)
Here was me thinking it would be +1 Vs Vampires or something.
Only if you used wooden bullets.
I thought it was werewolf season! I only packed silver!
Thank you. Indeed it is.
Yeah, I've taken to replacing 'United States' with 'American Dystopia' in my vocabulary. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Brave New World would offer a more pleasant life.
Our religion is of love and peace and we'll kill anyone who thinks otherwise -sincerely straight, white, American, Jesus.
I always like saying "no love like Christian love"
Its " there aint no hate like Christian love."
I brought my AR-15 with bump stock so I can protect my abortion rights. Am I pastoring correctly?
No because a bump stock makes it harder to shoot someone. They do nothing but make noise. It's almost impossible to stay on target while bump firing.
This church's slogan is "Spray'n'Pray"
You fuckin win. Lmao
Am I pastoring correctly?
Fucked any children today?
That's preists, pastors beat their wives.
Not a comment on the story, but that dude is wide.
