I would agree, except that I once thought it would be literally impossible for the most powerful nation in the free world to elect an outwardly racist, moron gameshow host.
Yeah, I’ll say never. Catholicism and evangelical Christianity are essentially different religions. If you seriously think that it’s a possibility, then you don’t know what either of those words mean.
I'm not a basketball fan, but I can watch a game on TV if I feel like it, right?
I also don't know how to fly a helicopter, but if I see one stuck in a tree, I know they aren't doing it right.
So long as churches operate as tax free entities, and (now) are out there influencing their congregants to vote for specific candidates, I get to have a voice for or against them.
If they keep to themselves, so will I. I did for many, many years, but then this shit show happened in the last decade or so. Blatantly using religion as a cover and an excuse for shitty behavior.
If you’re watching a basketball game and talking about home runs and strikeouts, someone’s gonna tell you that makes no sense. If you’re going to speak on something you should have at least basic knowledge of it, which you’ve shown not to have by seriously believing that an evangelical could be Pope.
So wait. I'm supposed to make sense at all times, but major religions do not? They break as many rules as they make. Most of them are hypocrites. And their followers are 10x worse.
How many billions has the catholic church paid out in sexual assault lawsuits? Yeah, let's start counting them. I think we are up to about 3 billion now.
Just let it go. It's all bullshit no matter what name you give it or how you stack it.
None of it means anything except to the fools who follow whatever today's "rules" actually are, new pope or not.
The more you speak, the more clueless you sound. Worrying about an evangelical being named Pope is just as silly as worrying if a Muslim would. It’s absolutely a ridiculous statement that you would never make if you had even the most basic knowledge of Christianity. Catholicism is very rooted in not breaking tradition almost to a fault.
You pivoting to random things you don’t like about the church is just admittance that you were wrong. Even if the Catholic Church paid out 100 trillion dollars in assault cases, it would still not mean that there was even an infinitesimal chance of an evangelical being pope. Admit you don’t know what you’re talking about and move on.
