i mean, the catholics managed
If the Pope can figure it out, so can you.
This is the purpose confession serves
The Republican party is not a monolith guys, it's made up of several distinct groups such as child rapists and child rapist enablers.
And Catholics.
Literally zero friction integrating pedophilia into traditional Christianity
literally zero friction
There's a joke in there, but I'll go to Hell if I make it.
I mean, if the Evangelical Christians are going to Heaven - I’d rather go to hell
You know what they say: Go to Heaven for the atmosphere, go to Hell for the company
I'd go for the music alone
Chicago kicks ass!
Hey, this coke tastes like Pepsi!
Also, if the Biblical god existed, supporting or worshiping it would be an incredibly immoral thing to do. Yahweh is perhaps the most vile and evil character in all of literature. It's hard to imagine anything more evil.
The teletubbies HAVE to be more evil. I swear they are hiding something
Have you read the Bible? Harems, concubines, child brides, slavery, women shouldn’t speak, etc…
Have you read the Bible?
Evangelical Chriatians:

As a former evangelical Christian I can assure you that any average one of them can only be said to have read the bible in the same way that I could be said to have read my favorite cook book. If that.
That’s insightful, thank you.
As someone who did read the full book years ago when going to school and remembers fuckall in it except how repetitive and boring the Old Testament was, this helps me understand their approach of picking and choosing scripture.
This is brilliant
Ok, so what is the current canon?
I don't think the new testament includes child diddling, but I didn't read much of that either.
Probably because I lost faith quite some time ago.
Well, as I see it, evangelical Christianity has just about totally morphed into Christian Nationalism by now, and the canon for Christian Nationalism seems to essentially be Trump’s Truth Social feed.
No need, it's already part of it and has been for centuries.
Remember how the Catholic church raped kids and protected pedophiles? It's not just Catholicism.
Numbers 31:17-18 KJV
Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
Numbers is good but for the very best ultra-violence I suggest Deuteronomy
Deut. 21:18-21
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death.
As Jesus intended ~/s~
Tbh theres pedophilia and incest in the bible already
But sometimes it depends on the translation (and language)
Pedophilia has always been a part of Christianity. Mary was 13 when she gave birth to Jesus. Joesph was in his 70s. It's the basis of the religion. At least Christianity tries to hide it by pretending that she was virgin and her child was actually from god. That's better than, say, islam, where mohammad just outright marries Aisha when was 6 years old and pretended that allah told him its halal.
It's very unlikely Joseph was in his 70s. Neither of their ages are mentioned. Common estimates for Mary are 13-14, and Joseph being in late teens or early 20s.
A lot of people don't know this but the Ghost that banged Mary was only 12.
But it's okay because it was actually incest
What
Check out poor Lot whose evil daughters plot to get him drunk so they can rape him. The poor old man, I'm sure there was no redaction going on in post production.
Remember that he tried hand them over to a gang of would be angel-rapists, first.
"Well God can use 'imperfect people'. Just look at King David."
How that story actually went...
David: Has an affair with Bathsheba and has her husband assassinated.
God: "Listen here you little shit. I gave you everything you could ever want and you decided that wasn't enough. I'm feeling merciful so I won't kill you like you killed Uriah. Instead, you can spend the rest of your miserable life suffering the consequences of your evil deeds."
Yes, instead he tortures David's innocent child to death for a week for David's crime. And no punishment at all for the 200 philistine foreskins or any other of David's immoral behaviour
At first I though this wasn't a shitpost.
Then I thought shitposts have evolved into what would previously have been called cutting, brilliant satire. Then I thought that fascists killed satire, and this is just straight-up news.
Finally I realized this is indeed a shitpost and should have just thought "Yeah, heh." And be done with it.
Catholic here. Not as difficult as you might think.
I’m pretty sure pedofilia is a problem in most religions. That’s why I choose no religion
How old do you think the Virgin Mary was?
Old enough to be considered a woman, but culturally it could have been as young as 16.
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. In a loud voice she exclaimed: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! (Luke 1:41-42)
There wasn't consent though. It can be spun that way, but biblically Mary was destined to carry, and screw any free will.
