Repent for what? Allowing conservatives to hold government positions?
If I was religious id repent for giving this motion the attention she gets whenever dumb shit comes out of her mouth/tweethole
The earthquakes were caused by space lasers, and the coming eclipse is god doing his best to drop them from orbit. His plan is to have them fall on Mar-a-Lago
The Pharisees hold the House.
The West coast is pointing at the East coast and giggling
Yeah the Bible belt has been endlessly shit on by tornados because they’re just not evangelical enough…
Where did she get her theology degree? Does she even go to church?
I mean, it does say that explicitly in the Bible. In Matthew 24:3-14, Jesus is asked by the disciples what signs there will be of his return, and among other things, he tells them this:
For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. (Matthew 24:7-8)
Ah yes, the Saros cycle (known as far back as before the time of Jesus), predictably causing eclipses like clockwork, is a ‘sign.’
Also apparently a sign from God to repent:
- Leaves falling from trees
- Flowers blooming
- Things getting colder
- Things getting warmer
- Days getting longer or shorter
- The sun rising
- Birds chirping
- Stars
- Water
- Needing to poop
- Clocks
TIL Microwaves are confessionals
Well the world hasn’t ended yet, so that proves all the repenting works!
You joke but go a few days without pooping and you’ll come to Jesus pretty quickly.
And yet if I don’t need to poop, clearly God isn’t sending the sign of needing to poop.
If we suddenly stopped having eclipses, we’d also likely have pretty serious problems on our hands.
But per Marjorie, if cyclical events are signs from God to repent, the absence of those events must either be signs from others or else a “you’re all good with repentance.”
So you might be constipated, but sinless.
So you can shit a stone and then throw it.
Of course the Lemmyverse would know all about that, wouldn’t it?
Needing to poop
To be fair, sometimes this can cause people to pray
The only “strong sign” one can see is that her supporters are incredibly stupid.
Says the adulteress. Fuck off.
Yeah, I don’t get how this works over and over again. It’s almost always shit people who just blatantly make a mockery of their Christian “beliefs” that these dopes put up on Christian pedestal. By all accounts, Obama was a good Christian. One wife, no real accusations of infidelity, regular church goer, at least outwardly a nice and modest man. . .and these dopes labelled him a secret Muslims trying to take down the government from within.
I just can’t make any sense of it.
Facts are secondary to social belonging and other emotional needs.
In-group dislikes Obama? The flimsiest justification will be held on to.
Facts are not going to be very effective against someone operating in that mode.
Though I did read that while changing group membership or finding another group with different beliefs can be big factors in changing people’s minds, so can horrible trauma.
Like if a Republican fell out of a 3rd story window and was stuck overnight alone in agony on the cold ground, when they recovered they might have had the realization that treating other people like shit is no way to live.
I have run out of adjectives and superlatives to describe the depths of idiocy the Right engage in. They re even going on about the eclipse.. What time period is it? 300 CE? Did thousands of years of scientific advancement get thrown out the window? These Y’all Qaeda are no better than the real Al Qaeda or Taliban destroying universities, libraries, and historic artifacts.
I’m tired of them being called the Right. They’re obviously the Wrong.
Oh, really? I thought the eclipse was the natural movement of astral bodies and is well understood. Glad ole’ Margie is there to tell me it’s an invisible man.
I’m getting a live transmission from God right now, he’s saying specifically: “Repent on Climate Change”.
This is expected.
A lot of gullible people believe the first thing they hear that resembles an explanation in events that have nothing that feels substantial even if it’s nonsense.
What would not be expected is if at the next natural disaster Biden comes out within a minute in a national address and claims that God revealed to him that this is just the start and a warning so that America would not reelect Trump.
Then watch the nuts lose their fucking shit at being overshadowed at their grift.
It somehow still surprises me that in 2024 you have people who are still living in the middle ages.
