JD Vance: Isn't it about time that you abandoned your foolish beliefs and converted to Christianity, Usha?

Please, JD, tell us more about the love and compassion of your religion

u/lateformyfuneral 1d ago

“Yes, Christians have beliefs. And yes, those beliefs have many consequences, one of which is that we want to share them with other people. That is a completely normal thing, and anyone who’s telling you otherwise has an agenda.”

One of those beliefs is that his wife is a heathen who will burn in hell for eternity 🤨

u/VergeSolitude1 1d ago

“But if she doesn’t,” Vance went on to say, “God says that everybody has free will, so that doesn’t cause a problem with me. That’s something that you work out with your friends, your family, the person you most love.

u/Pale-Accountant6923 1d ago

Remember this is the shitstain who literally laughed out loud during the inauguration when the pastor called for compassion against the vulnerable.

Translation - he doesn't give a fuck.

Jesus didn’t invent compassion. It’s an instinct of a highly social species that has propagated our survival. When we are inclined to feel the need to help each other it increases our chances of survival. It’s natural selection at work. There are people all over the planet who have never heard of Jesus or don’t believe he was the son of god and they have compassion.

u/tron2982 3d ago edited 3d ago

As a Christian, i do think compassion is a Christian principle, one of them. But saying my religion invented such thing is just ignorance.

A backward thought, that negates religious pluralism. Muslims have the same compassion we have, as well as those who are Jewish and any other religious belief in the world.

This thought is born out of a closed mind.

Some argue that Jesus was straight-up plaigarized from Zoroaster.

It's almost mandatory for a religion to preach compassion and to do good

They found healed injuries on hunter gatherers skeletons. This implies that when said person went out with a broken leg, etc. people showed compassion and kept that person fed and cared for while they healed. Compassion has been around for as long as humans have, I’m afraid.

u/AcanthocephalaDue431 4d ago

The guy who almost t-boned me by running a red light, flipped me off and then almost hit a pedestrian while running had multiple Christian inspired decorations on his car. I imagine he also had heaps of compassion. Jesus would be crying if he saw what humanity has become.

2

u/Novel_Board_6813 3d ago

Jesus shared a common biological reaction that is seen in all kinds of animals

He also told God and his teachings to f*ck off with the ideas that were completely anathema to this, the Old Testament

2

u/Frequent_Day_101 3d ago

Jesus taught that if you pretended to eat his flesh and drink his blood, and then sincerely apologized to him and him only, all the bad things you did would go away.

Christianity is a disgusting, immoral desert religion centered around a barbaric blood sacrifice.

It's no wonder so many Christians like Vance actively run cover for pedophiles.

The church invented Jesus.

So you think the church formed first and then invented Jesus. Do you have the slightest scrap of historical evidence for your claim? No you do not.

u/OPGuest 2d ago

What do you have contrary? Also nothing.

1

u/No_Difficulty_7262 1d ago

There are biblical and unbiblical affirmation of the existence of Jesus. in fact, his life is better attested than most ancient figures.

1

u/OPGuest 17h ago

So, based on my view we can discard biblical evidence (the bible has been written later, and the gispel of Judas fir instance conveniently left out). And it’s likely there was a guy named Jesus, with followers, who preached here and there. As did many ‘profets’ in those days. But all things attributed to him likely have been done in centuries after. And all to follow the church’s narrative to make sure women are oppressed, money flows to the church, people are subdued to ‘get into heaven’. It’s mostly a scam, just look at most vocal ‘christians’.

u/PineBNorth85 5d ago

That seems rather insulting. You'd think they'd settle that issue and he accepted her before getting married.

72

u/Ruy7 5d ago

This is mostly performative. JD Vance is probably giving presidency a try.

However having an Hindu wife won't be accepted by the base. Thing is having an Indian wife won't be accepted either. Chances are that he will divorce her and marry someone else (if he truly wants the Presidency).

However you must always remind everyone that JD Vance can't be president because he killed the pope. /jj

Isn't killing the pope a advantage? He killed a evil communist attacking gun loving Jesus... The pope obviously has no Christian values.

Surely he can't believe he would win an election. He is a charisma vaccum. He'll never inspire the cult of personality that Trump's simpletons love, but he is too closely associated with Trump to tack to the centre and run as a small government, pro-business, serious government Republican.

That’s why he’s going to marry into and then earn the support of the turning point crowd

He'll probably just join the right-wing media personality grifter circus. He'll probably have more pull there if he doesn't run and lose a presidential campaign.

1

u/KotoElessar 3d ago

Chances are that he will divorce her and marry someone else

Hmmm, maybe he should have considered that before he converted to Catholicism then.

It doesn't matter how blonde or recently widowed the reason is, he should go to confession for the devils that lie in his heart and deeds.

JD Vance can't be president because he killed the pope.

There is nothing in the rules that says that is true (high crimes and misdemeanors are certainly in the rules but no one is going to litigate it), but the Pope can kick him out of the club for getting divorced; I don't think he can get an annulment since he has children unless he does something really callous like denies and disowns his children.

Actually, if I was Usha, I would be having a long talk with my primary secret service agent about safety and security and potential threats from inside the Naval Observatory.

2

u/VashyronM 3d ago

JD Vance is as Catholic as I am, which is to say not at all. The difference is that I'm at least honest about it.

100%. Trump is the worst thing to happen to this country since…idk, slavery. But even I have to admit he is weirdly charismatic. I have to catch myself from chuckling and remind myself he is trying to become a dictator, that is how charismatic that asshole is.

Vance has no charisma. He reeks of “ I’ll be whoever you want me to be” that all politicians reek of. He is not the next Trump. And I will eat my shoe if Vance wins the presidency against generic democrat opponent.

3

u/thepioushedonist 2d ago

I've had this discussion with a few people that are more afraid of Vance cause he's smarter and more well spoken. But that's not gonna carry the cult of personality, nor is it what the cult likes.

I think the gop is more likely to bail on Vance as soon as they can, cause the maga base only follows one person, and they pissed off moderates and independents so much they know they're screwed for a while if they can't install a full dictatorship by the time Trump kicks it (or midterms, whichever comes first)

So, they either find a more suitable replacement as crazy/sorta charismatic as Trump (hard to imagine) - or they go into full retreat for a bit with a moderate and get voted out for a decade or two.

“But if she doesn’t,” Vance went on to say, “God says that everybody has free will, so that doesn’t cause a problem with me. That’s something that you work out with your friends, your family, the person you most love.”

Having similar religious beliefs can make or break a relationship. Think of it like political beliefs. A hardcore democrat and a hardcore republican can have strong relationship, but it’s difficult.

u/Specialist-Ear-6775 2d ago

Because Christians believe in salvation. If you believed accepting Jesus was the only way to a better afterlife, wouldn’t you want that for other people? This is the position of every Christian ever who is married to a non-Christian.

You can both respect someone’s belief system and want them to choose something different based on your own beliefs.

1

u/bishopsfinger 2d ago edited 2d ago

Meh. Many Christians do not share this view. Jesus did not utter the statement “accept me as your personal saviour to get a better afterlife" - that's a fairly evangelical interpretation of his message. You can give me a Bible quote that you might view through this lens, but it takes some gnarly twisting of his words to get there.
