MTG: IT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN AN ACT OF GOD

[–] lemmylommy@lemmy.world 24 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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 17 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 11 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 26 points 23 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 29 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 12 points 23 hours ago

Magic the gathering is not that evil. Is it?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 15 points 1 day ago

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

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 181 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Y'all would have killed Jesus.

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

They really are the exact opposite of what they preach

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (4 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.

My god did Vance kill the Pope!

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Can't lie, if I had to meet that dweeb IRL my matter would start decaying very fast too.

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 33 points 1 day 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 20 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!"

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 16 points 1 day 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.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

She's a woman that has learned that she can get away with anything, as long as she behaves badly enough. She doesn't need to believe it, though she probably does, she knows that is a strategy that works to avoid consequences.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 42 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

No you see, he was a communist demon because he committed the absolutely heresy of being 0.1% less conservative.

Can't be the pope if you don't hate minorities and immigrants ya know

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 8 points 1 day ago

And this pope was one of the least evil!

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

I guess she’s gotta be right at least once

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

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 101 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.

Karma is what we make it. The world don't care.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Not that i believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist im pretty sure the pope gonna be aight

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 54 points 1 day ago (4 children)

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.

[–] mPony@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

don't forget the fucking "Westboro Baptist Church"

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