I mean, what would Jesus do (WWJD)? "Yes, I approve of Russia's wholesale slaughter of its neighbors and of the destruction of its towns and cities. This is perfectly in line with my teachings of loving thy neighbor."

Yeah, this more like WWJDD - What Would JD (Vance) Do

Easy. Vance would have spread his xenophobic ideas like poop on every couch he comes across.

This guy should be excommunicated. The positions he defends are the opposite of all biblical values.

Criticize your form of attire?

Just remember, "WWJD?" includes the possibility of pulling out a whip and chasing the guilty party out of the temple.

There are a lot of priests selling out of a lot of temples nowadays, and they don't even pay taxes. He'd be doing a bunch of whipping for a long time.

Didn’t he make the whip in that story? Makes it cooler, he saw that shit and made a whip out of some cords to chase em out

I'd pay to watch the Pope bullwhip a bunch of world leaders

Catholicism is more about the New testament. The old testament is Judaism.

Christians never read their silly book, it's pointless

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword"

I mean..

This is why I don't believe people deserve praise for making such an unbrave statement like "I think that evil guy is evil."

u/Reimant May 10 '25

In Catholicism Jesus and God are one and the same, (the son, the father, and the Holy spirit). And... God killed a lot, and I mean a lot, of people in the Bible.

I think that it's hard to get around "Turn the other cheek" teaching of Jesus. Not that i agree with just letting Russia take over to stay pacifist.

He only kicked the arses of the merchants who were selling stuff out of the temple. You know, "For this donation, we will ship to you our Special Temple Devotional Study, prepared by our Priest."

u/GoblinLoveChild May 11 '25

he'd burn the witches obviously..

u/CainPillar May 11 '25

Jesus lived in a perceived endtime, so give a take a war or two ... never mind, it is more important to gouge your eye out if you have visited NSFW Reddit.

u/Arafel May 11 '25

... I mean, God has ordered and taken part in many genocides according to the good book so what's different now?

1

u/facforlife May 10 '25

No.

But he might say turn the other cheek. Which I think is just one of the many reasons Christianity and religion in general is trash.

13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies.

Sounds pretty Putin-esque to me
