To honor the Crusader legacy, just call him Peter the Lyin’-Hearted.
In another demonstration that facts and satire have become indistinguishable, this is real, not from The Onion.
Every day, on bended knee, with your family, in your schools, in your churches in the name of Jesus Christ.
I’m not very religious, so I am assuming Jesus was a huge war guy, who always preached destruction and vengeance, and asserted that your faith and your government are inseparable.
In yet another example of the ever-increasing irrelevance of irony, it appears that Fox News is actually being inspired by The Onion. There was an Onion story last week about how MAGA nation was happy about the high gas prices, was hoping they would go even higher, and even gave a little extra to the gas stations to show their patriotism. Just a few days later, the MAGA media hive actually started trying to convince us that high gas prices were our patriotic duty, and the sacrifice we have to make for our nation, a la gas rationing in WW2.
I’ve forgotten Das Kapital from my college days, but I assume that only dirty commies want average people to be able to afford gas.
“And while you are down there ask god to help you find the extra children you fathered with women you don’t remember….” Hegseth continued.
Pete….the 11th century Crusades are calling
Just call him Richard the Lyin’-Hearted.
“I’m not very religious, so I am assuming Jesus was a huge war guy, who always preached destruction and vengeance, and asserted that your faith and your government are inseparable.”
There’s a large amount of insane right-wing apocalyptic “Christians” that believe that by basically torching the earth through force will bring about the “End Times” quicker where suddenly Jesus will save us all.
They’re accelerators of doom that have a lot more in common with what’s said about the Anti-Christ in Revelation than anything else, and if what they believe is true about the End Times what do they think is going to be the response of Jesus at judgement when they’ve brought it all upon everyone else?
“Ah gotcha, you were apathetic about multitudes of innocent people getting killed or going through hardship, lived a rich and comfortable life and used force to kill anyone who didn’t believe in the mythos part of Christian history and ignored the whole part about the core principals of my teachings – comeon in to heaven!”
Must have skipped that book back in my Catholic elementary/high school days.
It’s definitely interesting that we’re more worried about a guy saying “praise Jesus” than we are about the ones saying “Allah Ackbar”.
Is it OK to have misgivings to violent extremists on BOTH sides who falsely use religion as a pretext and justification for their actions?
There is only one way to find out whether it is OK.
Get down on your knees and ask Jesus for guidance.
