“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
Matthew 6:5 I like having a sign with just the verse on it at any public ‘christian’ event. I refuse to say which verse it is, but encourage them to look it up. Usually under the guise of, “I can’t remember the exact wording / I don’t want to misquote Jesus, so it’s more impactful if you read it for yourself. You have your bible on you, right?”
The looks on people’s faces when they think you’re on their side, but then read an insult directly from their god… Priceless.
I wanna see ol’ henry rise from the grave and burst through the doors like the kool aid man
Oh lord, this one got me good ❤️
Here’s hoping this ends up like the last time a king Charles got a little too cozy with the Catholics
Public praying? Boring and disgusting. If the king is so inclined to resurrect some ancient traditions, why not revive gladiator fights?
Why not revive the guillotine
Too French for the British
Actually, the British beat the French to it. The Halifax Gibbet pre-dates the guillotine by about 100 years.
Yet another case where another nation somehow becomes better at a sport the British invented.
The southern English are trapped between a rock and a hard place with the whole thing. They do like the idea of stealing culture from the French, but they want to appear to be separate at the same time. And appearing northern would be even worse.
The French industrialised it.
That’s barbaric, throwing rotten produce at criminals in a pillory would be fun though
Tomato red on an orange backdrop would look great!
So is being a pedo, he brought this on himself
You talking about Charles or pedos in general?
I mean.
I really don’t think you’d even need to do slavery to do it this time.
Are you honestly telling me that in this day and age you couldn’t find people willing to fight to the death for fame and glory?
If someone wants to do it voluntarily then why the fuck not? Bring back gladiators! Vae victus
for fame and glory?
Just pay them for a change, goddammit! Don’t be so cheap!
Sorry if I was unclear, they’d definitely compete for large amounts of money, too.
I mean don’t we already have this? I thought it was called UFC. Granted they aren’t allowed actual weapons yet, but given that they’re having matches at Trump’s White House I figure it’s only a matter of time.
Well, they’re not allowed weapons and they both always live as far as I know.
As long as the people are aware of and consent to the danger I say fuck it. Give them weapons and let them go for glory.
You think that when the Pope leads a prayer in front of a crowd of catholic worshippers that this constitutes the kind of “public praying” that is worthy of criticism? King Charles is the head of the Anglican church, so it’s no different. They are leading a prayer together.
I’m not religious so I don’t care either way, but to classify this as “disgusting” is to completely lack understanding of the context.
is worthy of criticism?
Yes.
is to completely lack understanding of the context.
I do understand the context. In full. And find all these religious rites disgusting.
That was one whopper of a reformation!
Wow this is a big step since that guy that wanted a divorce and wasn’t granted it by the Pope decided to split from the Catholic church once upon a whenever.
I’m glad that the Catholic church got split then (lots of shady shit, they were directly taking donations to absolve sins ie. simony or indulgence payments) but this collaboration should not be relevant for most people.
No one sees an Anglican praying with a Catholic as a grand act of unity. Certainly not in the modern day.
Somehow my brain never put simony and indulgences in the same box. :) Thanks.
He’s going to fake it and think of what he’ll have for dinner instead.
Sadly not. Guy seems to be a real Christian, which kinda sucks balls.
Whoop de fucken doo.
As American I say this is unacceptable! We should revolt!
