It’s easier to walk through the eye of a needle than convince religious people they’re being scammed.
Christians, Jews and Muslims would rather have their children raped than admit sky daddy is fake pedo enabler
That’s a gross overgeneralization. When my synagogue needed a substitute rabbi, they temporarily hired Rabbi Kaye. When we complained that he was creepy and aggressive, our parents said they were uncomfortable with him and had him fired. I don’t think he was even around long enough for anyone to fully realize how problematic he was.
That being said, I’ve met far more problematic religious leaders than well-intentioned folks.
It is but based on historical record, it supports the thesis pretty well.
Good that your congregation acted to protect the children though!
That’s awesome that you were part of such a supportive family and synagogue, but your comment is giving “Not all men.” Your experience doesn’t refute the experience of millions of others. There’s a reason we generalize groups who protect dangerous members within their ranks.
Exactly. It’s even worse, I make it analogous to police.
When your organization is supposed to stand for X but a significant portion of it does Y, you don’t get to say “Oh it’s just some of them…” motherfucker your organization is supposed to be FULLY against Y
Yeah, but it’s fucking fine If it’s true, not sure why you’re defending pedophilia here man gross look.
SkyMan could even be real, but it wouldn’t matter if he came down and told them their shiny TV gods were full of shit. They don’t follow the heroes of the magic books; they follow their idols.
We have put our best scientists to work to genetically engineer a microscopically small camel!
We are a nation by scammers, of scammers, and for scammers.
Turns out a lot of the New Atheists - your Christopher Hitchenses and Richard Dawkinses and your Sam Harri - were actually totally cool with a right-wing dominionist government, so long as that government killed Muslims. The Randian Objectivists promised rationality, but only ever delivered new flavors of bigotry. The Neoliberal Egalitarians promised a clean separation of Church and State, right up until they looked at the poll numbers and discovered you could pick up 2-pts in Maine by punching a Transgender person. The Liberal Unitarians and squishy Agnostics keep showing up to pay $120/ticket to see abused dancers perform Shen Yun and send billion dollar checks to genocidal Zionists abroad.
Like, religion sucks yadda yadda. But I don’t see that secular dividend. Would the world be a better place if Televangelist Private Jets were owned by more Home Shopping Network con-artists, instead?
At least home shopping network cons would pay taxes
I’ll believe that when I see the receipts.
No shit. It’s solely about the money.
Only a business puts they take 10% of your income in their on boarding contract. That alone tells you most organized religions are a scam. Denominations are just franchises at this point just like McDonald’s.
It is also about access to children to rape tbh
Seems like the bigger the grifter the higher chance he is a pedo
Tax-free, too!
South Park made fun of that in 1999 with the episode “Starvin’ Marvin in Space”.
In that episode a Christian televangelists network raise the money for an entire spaceship with lasers and deflector shields and all (a lot of Star Trek/Wars references).
Interview with Kenneth Copeland about why he flies on Private Jets (it’ll make your blood boil)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LtF34MrsfIIt’s rare that you can actually see him try to suppress the demon within him.
I have this thought every single time I see him. If a conspiracy theory nut presented evidence that someone is really a demon wearing a human-suit, I’d probably hand-wave them away… Unless they were talking about Kenneth Copeland. He’s probably the only instance where I’d be inclined to believe the conspiracy theorist.
That is some creature wearing an Edgar Suit and calling itself Kenneth Copeland.
I was going to look for this link to post here if it wasn’t already.
Timestamp 3:15 is just before the mask falls off.
He’s doing a pretty good impression of a deamon.
A waste of space and oxygen, those televangelists are.
INB4 someone broad-brushes this to be about… ahh, fuck, I’m too late.
What actual service are these people providing? What good is being done for society such that it justifies private jet money? How are they different than a con man sharking cards?
Naw, he’s right
Some own multiple
Just like Jesus wanted!
“god told me we must buy this plane.”
we accept visa, checks, cash or crypto
OMG LEMMY HAS VIDEO SUPPORT?
No it is still hosted elsewhere? Jerboa plays it nicely
Oh unpopular ones do too. No job makes more money for the particularly enterprising and soulless as preaching does here.
Fuck private jets and fuck the people who own and sell them.
You expect them to ride a regular plane filled with demons?
Sam and Dean did it and they turned out fine! Uh, sort of.
But how many times did Sam die during the flight?
“He made that airplane so cheap for me”
Yeah but it still cost him more than most of our yearly wage
Easily more than most of our lifetime wages specially if you account for operational costs.
Before I open the link, I bet this is the interview where the demon inside Kenneth Copeland was close to getting out and killing the reporter.
I would argue violence/force is very christian. There’s a reason it took over Europe, and in later centuries it sought the rest of the world.
This auto plays, and opens the video when tapped instead of pausing.
Had a quick look on settings and there wasn’t a switch to have autoplay turned off.
Does anyone know where an autoplay or a pause switch is?
