    Trump is too stupid to coordinate window drops of rich people. Vance scares me as he isn’t stupid…

      he’s just so flexible. going from ‘trump is hitler’ to being his running mate puts the spinelessness of a sea cucumber to shame.

    That doesn’t sound like it would fly even in the most religious communities.

    Call me crazy, but I don’t think anything is going to get better in this country until we cancel anti-American propaganda networks on American television.

    I’ve been around long enough to have witnessed Fox “News” and dipshits like Rush Limbaugh cause the current mania we’re experiencing.

    It really is all on them. It wasn’t like this before they showed up.

    Religion, a severe form of mental illness, is the greatest threat humanity faces.

      Right?

      If I said a flying purple people eater was my lord and savior and that flying purple people eater died for our sins but not before his father, a flying spaghetti monster, instructed an old man to build a space ship that a few humans and two of every animal on the planet (and I guess all the plants too) went on and orbited around the Earth while the flying spaghetti monster supreme being was fucking the surface of the Earth up and then repopulated the planet from space afterward and I went to a pineapple under the sea every Sunday to worship both the flying spaghetti monster and the flying purple people eater, who are actually the same being…would you say I had a severe form of mental illness?

      They walk among us. And they’re clinically insane. And a lot of them have guns.

    I’m afraid I’ll go to heaven

    That’s why I’m hoping that I’m right

    My biggest fear ain’t no red Devil

    It’s being near you people all the time

    I’ll be fine as long as you go somewhere else

    Yeah… God once told Peter “whoever kills this Hitler dude goes straight up, no questions asked”.

    Let’s assume god was ok with someone ordering the extermination of an entire group of people. Hitler died by suicide and the last time I checked that was still a no-no.

      Let’s assume god was ok with someone ordering the extermination of an entire group of people.

      Don’t need to assume, we know for a fact he endorses it.

      Deuteronomy 20.

      16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.

      A separate fun fact, zionists believe Palestinians are the descendants of amalek. I’ll leave what that implies as an exercise for the reader.

        I assumed it was explicitly forbidden in the book, but instead it looks like the reasoning is “murder is explicitly forbidden and technically, suicide is murdering yourself”

        Btw those “religious” people like to ignore inconvenient parts of the book

          Suicide is the only murder you cannot ask forgiveness for. (because you are dead and already under judgement for your deeds in life)

      Not sure we were all told he killed himself. Who knows someone else could of pulled the trigger. But regardless no way he went to heaven. He would have never asked for forgiveness but in his mind he did nothing wrong.

      The torture, the sex crimes at all levels, reducing humanity to chattel and ash. If there’s a god that approves of any of that, I’m staying atheist (in fact, the “problem of justice” is a philosophical argument against god, and that applies very much to the holocaust).

    Pope Francis went on the record saying he hoped Hell is empty. Torturing even the worst person for all eternity is overkill in my opinion, maybe after 500, 5000, 5 million years of celestial reeducation, if he really put the effort in, Hitler’s soul could be free. He’s only human and given the absolute worst circumstances and decisions I believe any of us could end up fucking up as bad as him.

    FWIW I dont really believe in an afterlife but I do want to believe in universal redemption, as difficult as that can be sometimes.

      I’d like to believe in pie in the sky too, but I don’t. The only justice in this world is what we make, and it’s a rare thing when that happens.

        True that, Justice is sacred but only when we respect her enough that she remains in this world. As Rome was falling, Justice was the last of the great virtues to leave.

        I think measured against an infinite time even the slowest person would come around. Life is short and nobody is absolutely, perfectly evil, maybe colossally so, more than enough to fill 100 years of a spiteful and bitter life but always in a finite way.

        17 million civilians systematically killed, let alone the military casualties, civilian collateral damage, and starting WWII in the first place.
