“Why don’t you just eat fucking ramen everyday? Just eat peanut butter and ramen for 50 years dumbass and invest all your money into the pico top of the gayest most fragile empire in history you dumbass idiot. Just starve and eat shit and dirt everyday for your entire life and then you can spend $30 on lunch when you’re old and about to die it’s simple. Don’t you know your 20’s are for grinding?? You’re supposed to eat shit for the majority of your life that’s why your ancestors built America. So you could eat shit and fucking die moron.”
@Paul51854258222 @YungPutin1 For what it's worth, one of the reasons why I'm so depressed is because I have above average looks and still have no life. It seems to me that being good looking makes me even more depressed than I would be otherwise, because it feels like I'm "wasting" my life away.
Cardinal Ratzinger on the Iraq war: “The concept of a ‘preventive war’ does not appear in the Catechism of the Catholic Church… It was right to resist the war and its threats of destruction. It should never be the responsibility of just one nation to make decisions for the world… Given the new weapons that make possible destructions that go beyond the combatant groups, today we should be asking ourselves if it is still licit to admit the very existence of a ‘just war.’” https://t.co/4vd5a7whhW
One year ago Pope Francis died.
I don’t know what else to say other than he was my spiritual hero and forced me to rethink how I live Christianity. You could tell he loved Jesus and just wanted to share that love in the world
I pray for him as I’m sure he’s praying for us today
Some of the arguments against the pope this week
• Poor people are that way because of sin
• People like Bill Gates are the good guys, actually
• The Iran War is Lepanto 2.0
• All of the many times that Leo brought up the persecution of Christians don't count, only the times he didn't count
• When he prays for peace, he is really criticising the USA and its right to exist, not addressing Ukraine, South Sudan, Myanmar, Afghanistan, DR Congo, Gaza, Thailand of any of the other dozens of conflicts underway right now
• The election of Pope Leo for the rest of his life as pope was actually devised to undermine the 3 and a half years that were left in the Trump administration
• The pope, who has a PHD, has never read the Bible
• The pope, who is more conservative on abortion, same sex marriage, contraception, IVF and other issues than 99% of 'conservatives', is actually 'woke'
On Easter morning, this is what President Trump posted.
Everyone in his administration that claims to be a Christian needs to fall on their knees and beg forgiveness from God and stop worshipping the President and intervene in Trump’s madness.
I know all of you and him and he has gone insane, and all of you are complicit.
I’m not defending Iran but let’s be honest about all of this.
The Strait is closed because the US and Israel started the unprovoked war against Iran based on the same nuclear lies they’ve been telling for decades, that any moment Iran would develop a nuclear weapon.
You know who has nuclear weapons?
Israel.
They are more than capable of defending themselves without the US having to fight their wars, kill innocent people and children, and pay for it.
Trump threatening to bomb power plants and bridges hurts the Iranian people, the very people Trump claimed he was freeing.
On Easter, of all days, we as Christians should be reminded that the son of God died and rose from the grave so that we can be forgiven once and for all of our sins. Jesus commanded us to love one another and forgive one another. Even our enemies.
Our President is not a Christian and his words and actions should not be supported by Christians.
Christians in the administration should be pursuing peace. Urging the President to make peace.
Not escalating war that is hurting people.
This NOT what we promised the American people when they overwhelmingly voted in 2024, I know, I was there more than most.
This is not making America great again, this is evil.
@LydiaMoynihan "it seems like he only comments on Trump and this administration"
Uhh yeah, you mean the only administration that he's been Pope during?!
@GearDown10@KSeattleWeather@MLB@Softykjr@RyanDivish You can still watch contract exclusive games, like last night's, on Mariners TV. You just can't watch those games live. They are made available to watch on demand 90 minutes after the end of the game.
@KSeattleWeather@MLB@Softykjr@RyanDivish Yeah, I think they could have handled their communication strategy better. I think they tried avoiding pissing people off by not explicitly emphasizing the fine print details. In the end, they pissed people off and confused them even more in the process.
As I keep saying, without clearly defined aims and a concrete and realistic plan for achieving them, a war cannot meet the just war conditions of there being serious prospects for success and well-grounded confidence that war won’t make things even worse. The “trust the plan” chuds dismissed all this as Ivory Tower moralism but in fact it is cold hard realism, as is becoming more obvious every day. As Plato would warn us, the disaster we’re facing is what happens when the people in charge are dominated either by thumos (Hegseth) or the id (Trump), rather than governed by intellect.
It’s astounding how many people (including many Catholics) treat the question of whether the Iran war meets just war criteria as if the burden of proof were on the critics of the war rather than on the defenders. This is like saying that when deciding whether to execute someone, the burden of proof is on those who say that the condemned man is innocent, rather than on those who say he is guilty. Most would never take this insanely reckless attitude if the other party were in power, even if the issue were less momentous than war. For example, most of these same people (rightly) did not take this ridiculous “the burden of proof is on the critics” attitude where lockdowns were concerned. This alone shows how corrupted by partisanship and emotion their judgment on the war has become.
A pro-Zionist contingent within the Catholic Church has no future among anyone under 40.
The theological logic runs too strongly in the other direction, and the moral witness of a war that has killed thousands of civilians — including the bombing of the only Catholic church in Gaza — has calcified an entire generation’s skepticism into conviction.
He boasts of having made a peaceful resolution less likely, in front of the very men he'll be sending to put their lives at risk for his mad and unconstitutional war. A truly wicked man. Impeachment should be on the table if no other means suffice to bring this insanity to an end
@jaubreyYT "man it sucks that we have to deal with high gas prices, but I definitely feel better about it now that I know other countries are suffering with high gas prices too" like wtf 🤷
@ApoloJedi_ The problem with most online Catholics is that they tend to make everything about logic and arguments.
I feel unworthy and thankful to even be a Christian at all.
I'll always be Catholic because I can't imagine connecting to God without the holidays and mysticism
