You're fooling no one. Stop pretending that Catholicism is somehow a better version of Christianity because it is not. In it's specificities, Catholicism brings absolutely nothing to the table that is required to be a Christian. I called you on your BS and now you are pretending to be a victim. You either need to grow up and learn to deal with a counterargument or you are just a troll.
I'm curious as to people's opinion about Trump saying on Fox that people need to take the vaccine and that it is safe. I don't know what to make of it. Was Q against the vaccine? Or did it come out after he stopped posting?
I'm replying to your BS, that is all. You weren't merely saying 'nice things' about the Catholic church but shitting on all other Christians. That was the entire purpose of your commentary. You attacked the very legitimacy of my church and now after I respond you come back with these logical fallacies like I'm the one who started it and trying to make me feel stupid for standing up against you. Sorry but I'm not falling for it.
And no, there is no 'true' Christian church. If you follow the Bible you are a true Christian. You do not AT ALL in any way whatsoever need the Catholic church to be a Christian.
No, I have zero personal beef with the Catholic church. And to be honest, I don't really care one way or the other about them. But when someone calls them the 'true' Christian church then I get riled up. Catholics do so much extracurricular stuff that, at the very least, BORDERS on worship of people who aren't God/Christ that I cannot stand to hear this argument with giving comment on it. How are these people able to intercede in anything for you? They are not gods! You are giving them these supernatural powers that have absolutely no basis for reality in the Bible. And the damn Pope is treated like a rock star deity by Catholics. They think of him like he has a direct connection to God above all other humans. It's weird. The Catholic church cultivated this worship of themselves over centuries as a means to consolidate their power. It used to be as much of a political/financial/military machine as a religious one.
Then there's the reality that the Catholic church has done so many horrible things in the past, including misleading Christians deliberately, in fact I would say more horrible thing than all other denominations combined, that they clearly are not the best version of Christianity. And this is not to say there is ANY best version of Christianity. And I don't hold past events from 1000 years ago against the current Catholic church but the reality is that they have done a lot of evil in their past and that Christians broke away from them for very good reasons. Telling people they are basically inferior versions is totally absurd when the Catholic church was left behind for very many good reasons. And please, don't tell me about one man's adultery when Catholicism has a million historical planks in it's eye. All you need is to believe in God and that Jesus died on the cross for your sins - the rest is fluff.
The Roman Catholic church is evil, it has done so many bad things throughout history. Whatever it started as, clearly this monstrosity is not what was intended.
They have started countless wars. They financed the slave trade for awhile. The persecuted Jews in ways that surpass the Nazis (they used to tar and feather them and make them run naked through the streets like this in the Vatican City to celebrate holidays, for one example).They claim this weird godhood for the Pope as if he is a direct tie to God. They have this weird Priest order that doesn't allow marriage that just basically invites the pedophiles with a coverstory. They have aided and abbeted the pedophilia and obstructed justice countless times and never report it to authorities. They have had Popes who had drug fueled orgies in St Peter's Basilica
Then there's the weird worship of Mary and completely unethical praying to her and others that aren't God. Their un-invited anointing of 'saints' (so many monsters they have called 'saints').
Or we have the whole fiasco that led to the Reformation. Indulgences - the charging of money to get rid of sins. This idiotic theory of 'purgatory' that they peddled and selled indulgences to protect against. The fact that they used to, for about 1000 years, read the Bible only in Latin. A language which the congregations generally had no knowledge of whatsoever. Why? Because they wanted to control them and institute all these stupid rules that have come to define Catholicism.
The most 'real' Christians out there are Prostestants, if you are defining 'real' as in most closely following the Bible. But you don't have to belong to any sect AT ALL to be a real Christian.
It was enough to send every adult, child and infant nearly $20k. I wish we would have done that instead. Can you imagine the good that would have done for so many people? Take out people making over like $150k a year and it's even higher.
But honestly I'm happy I got anything. If you had told me this COVID thing happened in advance I wouldn't have predicted getting one cent from the government. So I'm alright with $3400. People who were unemployed got even more than that.
I was saddened that nothing much ended up getting worked out with North Korea. I think Trump was the only hope to get some real agreement from him. I don't think it's the fault of Trump that it didn't work out and honestly wouldn't put anything on Biden either since the Kim regime's biggest priority seems to be it's own survival. I don't think there's any way that country opens up quickly because if they truly turned towards democracy then Kim would have to be bought to account for his crimes and he won't allow that since it sounds like he's done a lot of horrible things to cement his position.
I think the next generation of the Kim family will be the next chance there is a real shot at reform because that is the next time their leader will have a clean slate personally.
I must admit I am a doubter. I just expected the plan to have some public visibility by this point. Biden being in power and Democrats controlling Congress seem like everything has gone awry. More than anything I wish Q would throw us a bone at this point, he's practically disappeared since election night. It makes me think he is dead, in hiding or was a LARP all along and doesn't know what to say anymore. I wish desperately to be proven wrong.
IT departments shouldn't become the Gestapo just because there's one sicko out there. Not to mention 'equipment' can mean laptops or cell phones that would be very hard to monitor beyond physically confiscating them and going through them. Treating everyone like a pervert shouldn't become the norm.
I don't follow your logic here. I don't think making more work for someone is okay just because it's the type of work they do anyway. What do you do for a living? Would you be okay with me coming by and creating more work for you just for my own amusement?
