American Christians: "Oh my god! The pope is a commie socialist woke antifa!"

Sorry Pope your follows say you are wrong lol

Hooray, he fixed America!

Sorry Pope, there’s no money in that. Signed - insurance companies and Donald j Trump (because he likes his name in everything)

Not all of them. But far too many of them for sure.

Among evangelical hardliners it's not an uncommon belief that the Pope is the Anti Christ, so...

As an American, he would be familiar with the consequences of not having it.

Can enough irony actually cause a quantum singularity?

I mean, every single time they have assumed the Pope is the Antichrist in the last 50 years they've been wrong, so surely this time.

Conservatives: He thinks darkies and wage slaves should have universal health care! Hes the antichrist!!!

Peter Thiel: I know. 😈

For many christians, "christianity" is a social club they strongly belong to, not an actual religion. They don't give a fuck about what the bible is actually trying to convey, they just use the bible as a tackboard to pin their own beliefs and desires onto.

"Oh that's it, he's going to Hell for sure!"
-MAGA

Everyone should just die of diseases in the street. Hysterical!

You described almost every religion ever.

One of the most Christian things I've heard from a pope in quite a long time

Except the Epstein files...

huh, so that's Thiel's antichrist I guess

Something tells me he’s not embarrassed about that. He just hates it’s not his narrative.

We do. There are like 3 countries that don't... Oh yeah, makes sense.

Yes, only their guy who pretend to talk to/for God is the guy I listen to unconditionally. Certainly not the head church guy, obviously he's a hack.

Hell Catholics weren't considered white for a long time

I asked a AI, i want to be honsest with that, so the pope asked those countrys. :D

• United States
• Afghanistan
• Iran
• Nigeria
• Yemen
• South Africa (though it is working toward a universal healthcare model)

My favorite thing is when rich people pretend to support things because they know, unequivocally, they'll never actually be held accountable for making them happen or their hypocrisy in living unimaginably luxurious lifestyles.

Like this asshole

Pedophile fight!

protestants, including evangelicals, are not catholics and do not follow the pope

According to a 2024 Gallup survey, approximately 69% of the U.S. population—about 235 million out of 340 million people—identify as Christian.[1] A plurality of Americans identify as Protestant (45%), followed by Catholics (22%). Smaller Christian groups include members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (1.5%), Eastern Orthodox Christians (0.5%), and other Christian denominations (0.4%).[1]

Hear hear!

We could only be so lucky

That's rather pointed as there is only one first world country that does not have universal healthcare.

Religion is a mental disorder. Prove me wrong. (with actual studies and not anecdotes)

No they’re not!

In order to answer the challenge, I suppose the first question would be 'what constitutes a religion?' If you're simply talking about a group of people who share a passionately held belief that tries to get others to conform to that belief through emotional manipulation, intimidation and peer pressure, well....you're pretty much talking about the entire human race.

"You should be nice to people"
How does this need proof? Something like Buddhism isn't saying "this is how the world is" more like "these attitudes might be helpful to you" - there is nothing there to prove.
Of course if you think that a gigantic sky daddy wants you to invade a country because the man on TV said so, then perhaps you should reassess some things.

Exactly. and the vast majority of how 'religion' is used today is ...

Yes, the entire human race is contemptible. I'm glad we could arrive at this conclusion.

Heh...not sure why such a conclusion would make you glad, but if there's one thing that's universally true of the human race, it's that people will do amazing things - amazingly awesome things, and amazingly terrible things. I guess the trick is to try to do more of the awesome stuff as much as we can.... shrug

Yesterday I would have said intermittent fasting.
Today? IDK probably getting their internal monologues to shut the fuck up for a bit.

Silencing the inner monologue over the most bsnal explanations and/or wishful thinking ever is ... a mental disorder.

There is much wrong with the world. To pretend otherwise is at best denial.

Nice. He understands there’s a better way than praying and small time charity work. Now if he can just convince his flock…

I wonder how many countries’ healthcare the Vatican hoard could fund in perpetuity. The number is greater than one.

They certainly faced discrimination but I don't think it was a factor in race

That's not how science works. Prove your hypothesis right with actual studies.

I suspect you think you're being satirical but as an American myself, I can guarantee there's a significant amount of Americana saying exactly this.

Vast majority? Christianity and Islam combined make up about 66% of the religious population. Which other religions have a sizeable amount of people and conduct crusades?

Well he's certainly not the first pope that came from the America continent if that's what you mean. Still, the word "American" is being used to generalise US Americans as a whole.

I hate to break it to you, but those 66% are conducting crusades... Just look at all the fucking brainless Christogooners celebrating the war on Iran...

No, not all Christians/Islamists are bad, but their religions are.

Ah, so you just don't know what ‘vast majority’ means, and think you can use words willy-nilly.

Nope. I know what the religions do, and you are in denial.

Yes, illiteracy often correlates with strong and stupid opinions, so your case is not surprising.
