Self-awareness or a basic understanding of the US Constitution is clearly not a strong point in the Catholic Church.
Well in that case, neither should a Nativity scene, because, you know, the First Amendment, which, given the history of anti-Catholicism in the US, you’d think the bishop would be a bit more grateful for.
They are working on that. Lots of fundie groups of all sorts would love to make their version mandatory.
For such, Freedom of religion means Freedom for OUR religion, yours (or you if you lack proper “godliness”) can go to hell.
They are The Satanic Temple, not the Democratic party
Where are the holiday homages to Mithras, Osiris, Quetzalcoatl, Coyote, Loki, Kali, or L.Ron Hubbard? I sense injustice…
Really not helping your cause, guys…
Yeah, right? Are they saying demanding equal rights is evil?
It’s a bad look…
But Pastor Tony Greene insisted that everyone misunderstood the message.
“Our sign referencing Satan demanding his equal rights to ascend into the heavens and be God was simply ‘I’ and all about that individual,” Greene told WATE. “It was not a statement against any one group in particular, you know what about the rights of the unborn babies, the rights of children, the rights of everyone?
That retcon is every bit as convincing as when Grumpy Cat’s owner claimed that the cat, named Tard, was named after “tartar sauce”. :-/
I think a lot of Christians would argue that it’s Pastor Tony Greene who misunderstood Christ’s message.
But not MAGA Christians…
Thankfully they aren’t the only Christians who count.
The MAGA Christians are really just Christians in name only now since they’ve clearly substituted the guy on the cross for a newer, oranger deity.
Apparently not, since all the people who meekly and boringly object to public endorsements of Christianity are not only failing to change policy but also not even getting into the news either
For people who allegedly believe in God, they spend a lot of time fixating on this other God that they say they don’t believe in. And that God is less of a complete bastard than the one they worship.
Whereas MAGA Christians claim Obama is the anti-christ (because smart, fit, capable African American dude) and ignore that Trump fits all the criteria to a T, a giant gold-encrusted T.
Even the Antichrist is less gross than Trump.
The Antichrist looks at Trump and says “dude, tone it down a little”
True, true. Pretty sure Satan has way more class than Trump.
And much better legal acuity.
