Stay focused on the topic. Also, a simple Google search shows you what services are denied by Catholic hospitals. Circles. You aren't serious. Go Seminoles and I love Woppers. I will probably drink some Whiskey and shoot my Rifle with Mr. Vickers a bit later.
Bruh, totally focused but you are the one thinking this is a major problem when it is not. Don’t give into the media boogey man.

Catholic hospitals are not the enemy. There are infinitely bigger fishes to fry.

Politics have become a disproportionate part of American culture IMO. I don't know how any self-professing Christian can reconcile their faith with Trump but not only have many individually but corporately as well.
This largely echoes my sentiments.

I didn’t grow up in a religious home and never thought much about it. We had a few what we called “Bible thumpers” in school, but they were harmless and in general pretty nice.

Fast forward to today and it seems like Christians are getting way worse and tend to be really shitty people. I don’t ever remember Bible thumpers rallying around one politician the way they have Trump. I don’t get it. Of all the politicians out there, Trump is your guy to champion the cause of Christianity? LMAO. Trump is about the least Jesus-y guy out there and makes JFK and Bill Clinton look like choir boys.

I have no respect for Christianity today. The whole religion is a joke. I’m guessing about half of them have either had an abortion, helped a chick get an abortion, or are secretly gay. But that’s different because they are “covered by the blood of Jesus.” 🙄
 
All of the sexual nonsense is way in the past. He has upped his Christianity game immensely since the 2016 election ... no inuendo, no locker room talk, no touching, no sniffing, nothing. His worst offense or crossing of any lines has been to comment on Kari Lake's (Iowa's own Kari Lake) good looks ... and he does seem to appreciate having attractive assistants, associates, etc. (Being attractive is in many ways a Christian obligation; that be the best you can be, fully realize yourself, and so on ... that stuff)

I think that Melania has been a really positive force in his life. I do not think he could do this without her ... and she knows it. That is a very strong Christian marriage. She knows his character cold, is always in his corner and has never let him down ... and he knows this as well.

I think his "Life journey" has been a Christian success story. I would call it inspiring actually. Since he is being treated extra ordinarily well by the "Most Christian" folks among us, I would suggest that his journey back to the values taught in the Hebrew bible is being noticed by a lot of people.
.................
The felony stuff? I think everyone in the country knows that is all based on contorted and manufactured evidence brought forward by some very non-Christian people. Those who believe in second chances and that a "day of reckoning" is always pending no matter who you are quietly biding their time ... and voting.
The delusion is strong in this one.

Jesus. ****ing. Christ. That ^ right there is what I mean about how much of a joke Christianity has become.

You, sir, are either a liar or an idiot.
 
But yet, you don't seem to have issues with them seeing you approve of those going to be in charge after the election. Or, have "normal people" just not tired of those yet?
I do have issues with them, but I have far greater issues with trannies, pole smokers and rug munchers. No need to normalize those perversions.

Church decline is just one metric I use. I've talked to hundreds of people online and in person the last decade and almost all of them are essentially atheists.

This isn't an exact science obviously, just my estimate.
I honestly believe there is likely some form of higher intelligence in the universe and that the universe itself is not an accident. It wouldn’t surprise me if a lot of people in the atheist camp think something similar.

The problem with religion is it refuses to evolve from fairy tales and fables written and recycled throughout antiquity. The Bible, as an example, is so full of evil and grossly immoral shit that it frankly takes a special kind of asshole to not only believe in it but believe it is characteristic of a loving, invisible sky wizard.

My guess is religion is the greatest stumbling block to uncovering some of the greatest mysteries of the universe and what some would like to call “god” might just be waiting for humanity to evolve entirely past bigoted, hateful, idiotic religious beliefs and practices and actually use science, math, and our limited intelligence to tap into god’s language and creative powers.

Thanks for your perspective.
 
I'm completely serious. 👍
Honestly, I miss normal religious people. I had a lot of respect for many of them in my community. You seem like a normal religious person. When, friend, did Christians become so nasty and hateful? I hate to admit this, but they/MAGAs have brought out the worst in me.

I don't think most Christians are nasty and hateful. Most are good.

Most Catholic priests are good, too. For every 1 pedophile priest, there are at least 100 saintly ones.

What do you mean by that? Are witches and warlocks bewitching unsuspecting patsies in droves? Is Donald Trump the final Antichrist?

God vs. satan.


Ephesians 6:

"For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places."

According to Google, there are approximately 408,000 catholic priest. That would mean, by your estimate, there are 4080 pedophiles in their number. That's not something to brag about.

I wasn't bragging. 5-10% of men in all groups are sexual abusers of some type...at least.

The amount of public school teacher pedophiles is far higher, though and our culture doesn't stereotype them like they do Catholic priests.

 
No but the wars in Israel, Ukraine and the general division and decline of America are influenced by spiritual warfare.
I guess I just don’t understand what that means. Are you saying there is a supernatural war in the sky between good and bad angels causing these wars? I’m just trying to understand.

There's satan trying to cause as much havoc in the world and dragging as many humans to Hell as possible.

This isn't a fringe belief. Billions of people today believe in it.
