The Religion Thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Fr. Calvin Robinson Gives An Elon Musk Salute
Right Wing Watch

FAFO, defrocked:
Priest’s License Revoked By Church After Copying Musk's Salute At Anti-Abortion Summit
The Anglican Catholic Church said Calvin Robinson had been "warned" about "online trolling."


... “The Holocaust was an episode of unspeakable horror, enacted by a regime of evil men,” the Anglican Catholic Church said in a statement on its website. “We condemn Nazi ideology and anti-Semitism in all its forms.”

The statement continued, “And we believe that those who mimic the Nazi salute, even as a joke or an attempt to troll their opponents, trivialize the horror of the Holocaust and diminish the sacrifice of those who fought against its perpetrators. Such actions are harmful, divisive, and contrary to the tenets of Christian charity.”

The church said Robinson previously had been “warned that online trolling and other such actions (whether in service of the left or right) are incompatible with a priestly vocation and was told to desist.” ...

Hell, I'd do it for ten bucks, an open bar tab, and expenses. Expenses can rapidly become excessive and likely to be questioned.

:lol: It reminds me of how Hunter Thompson would send in outrageous expense reports to Jann Wenner at Rolling Stone while "on assignment." Massive hotel room damage, rental car damage or missing in action, etc. Everything was an emergency, but a good one.

Just Deranged Vance is just deranged, again:

JD Vance backs Trump's decision to halt foreign aid to 'prevent spread of atheism'
JD Vance, Trump's vice president, has suggested that US foreign aid has been misused by the previous administration as it 'has been used to spread atheism all over the globe'


:bs: Of course, Just Deranged didn't offer any specifics or evidence and never will. That's how it goes with MAGA xtians - hopelessly dishonest and immoral.
... Though Vance didn't delve into specifics, Forbes reported that the top recipient of USAID funding between 2013 and 2022 was Catholic Relief Services, having received a substantial $4.6 billion.

This nonprofit organization, acting as the international humanitarian arm of the .us. Catholic Church, focuses on aiding the impoverished and vulnerable abroad. It tackles the root causes of migration, guided by the principles of Catholic teaching.
Opps. Lyin' Just Deranged is even Catholic. Is dishonestly exploiting religion for POTUS Musk's ends a special class of sin? We already know that "false witness" alone is Commandment level sinful. Go to Hell, Just Deranged, literally.

Thought you and neoplacebo might appreciate this:



:o She elaborates, though:

Mia Khalifa Blasts Hyper-Religious Adults: “It’s a Sign of Low Intelligence, Not Enlightenment”

... For those unfamiliar, the reference to “501(c)(3)” is a jab at non-profit, tax-exempt status, implying these newfound spiritual leaders are leveraging religion for personal profit and clout rather than genuine faith. Khalifa paints a picture of grifters swapping out vodka shots for Bible verses overnight, only to rake in donations and political power.

The swipe at “far-right” religious figures adds another layer, insinuating that many of these public figures use religion not just for financial gain, but as vehicles for extremist agendas.
:clap:
The Internet Erupts: Supporters and Critics Clash ...
She does know how to stir things up.
https://whereisthebuzz.com/does-mia-kha ... overnment/
Back to the article:
What Does This Say About Society?

At the core of Khalifa’s recent tirade lies a deeper commentary on the state of modern religion. Her words highlight growing concerns about the commodification of faith, the rise of so-called “influencer pastors,” and the blending of religion with political extremism. Whether you agree with her delivery or not, her critique forces a closer look at how spirituality is marketed, monetized, and manipulated in the public sphere.

Her statement also taps into larger conversations about authenticity, especially in an era dominated by social media personas. How many public figures are genuinely transformed versus strategically rebranded?

... Stay tuned. Something tells us this will not be the last time she blows up the internet.

Wow
MAGA whines about antisemitism at "liberal" universities, but it's really anti-Israeli policy that often includes Jews and Jewish groups. In reality, the hardcore and dangerous antisemitism is almost all RW. MAGA is silent about that.


Housing Secretary Lets Staff Go Home Early For Easter To Reflect On Jesus
“We go into this holy weekend with freedoms that the world has never known,” reads a department-wide email from Scott Turner’s chief of staff.

If I was a department head I would let staff go home early to reflect on the 1A and the constitutional principle of separation between state and church. :angel:
