If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.

She's a woman that has learned that she can get away with anything, as long as she behaves badly enough. She doesn't need to believe it, though she probably does, she knows that is a strategy that works to avoid consequences.

Not that i believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist im pretty sure the pope gonna be aight

[–] EuropeanPrimate@lemm.ee 20 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

These people are crazy. Even if you think that, keep it to yourself.

I hate mtg but you sound like the people who wanted all the Irish to be nice when Thatcher died. I’m an aboriginal person, and survivor of child sexually abuse, i will dance on the grave of the pope who defended and shielded pedos, and I will look at news of his death and say GOOD. And if you think that’s not nice:

Nah I just meant for people to keep their negative comments to themselves, referring to her thinking the pope was evil. I’m not even sure what you’re talking about.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago (1 children)

I think they were saying "even if you think that the Pope is evil, keep it to yourself," but you're correct that they left it open to interpretation.

[–] EuropeanPrimate@lemm.ee 1 points 13 minutes ago

Yes this is what I meant

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 hours ago

Your mom and I both think you're cool.

This fucking bitch.

My god did Vance kill the Pope!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 21 points 4 hours ago

How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.

The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 32 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?

I guess she’s gotta be right at least once

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 18 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

So…. The pope is evil? Did he do a woke?

He shielded child rapists, so yes evil. But that's not mtg's reason.

Seems unlikely they'll puff the pope smoke to select anyone who could bother Trump by demonstrating the weakness of empathy, but I would be glad to be proven wrong.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 19 points 6 hours ago

If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.

Karma is what we make it. The world don't care.

Imagine the fun the world will have making jokes when this vapid bint exits the mortal realm.

[–] BilboBargains@lemmy.world 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

God helps those who help themselves. (Tee hee)

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 14 points 7 hours ago (3 children)

Vultures.

It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.

That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.

Y'all would have killed Jesus.

"Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state" - Killer Mike.

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 hours ago

Jesus, who came back from the dead? Like a zombie? Zombie Jesus is lord. I worship a zombie cult? I need to rethink my life.

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 4 hours ago

Well he was from Palestine and had a darker complexion so most likely.
