If you weren’t raised in an evangelical church, you might not know that those “Christians” think the Pope is burning in hell…

several Chick Tracts on this topic. that Chick brand of Christianity puts so many people off of Christianity. which is hilarious as they really expect the opposite outcome. real gross too. like you can murder all you want but if you say you love Jesus on your death bed— heaven! the fuck? no.

Being raised in America, it amazes me how much folks are unaware of our own gd history. Anyone who paid attention history class should know these basic facts. Catholics were outcasts from the beginning. WASPs controlled everything for most of our history.

So it's no fluke or coincidence that only 2 of 47 presidents have been catholic? One had his head blown off. To this day, only 25% of Americans will admit to being catholic.

Idol Worshipping satanic cult in my Pentacostal church. They were actually sorry though that only 144,000 of the Jews were going to escape hell. We often prayed that the Jews would accept Jesus into their heart because they couldn't be sure they were going to be one of the "chosen Jews"

Along with Blacks and Jews, Roman Catholics were KKK targets for hate and elimination. Most have forgotten how controversial it was that President Kennedy was Roman Catholic. People in the south feared he would just be a puppet for the Pope. Evangelical stupidity is that bad.

I always found that odd, that Catholics were viewed a heathen idol worshippers. My son invited one of his classmates to his first communion and the Mother told me her daughter could never go into a Catholic church. How the evangelicals bonded with the Catholics in Magaland is fascinating to me.

Southern evangelical "Christian" is basically a home-grown American religion. It hijacks the brand known as "Jesus Christ" and makes up its own catechism and morality. When called out as a fraud, they cry that all Christians are being attacked. It works, and now you have a president who does that.

I don't follow a fake "Christian" or their entitled superiority. If they truly followed the Bible, they would be knowledgeable that there are more than one religion in it, all of which thought they were rightful. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."

There are some conservative Catholics who believe the same thing. My neighbor, who's a "Catholic" MAGA actually said she hopes the new pope isn't as liberal as this one was. I told her I didn't see anything liberal about loving your neighbor, helping the poor, and welcoming those facing injustice.
