Calling out the Catholic Church on this does not negate the fact that other institutions are also guilty.

If I were being charitable I’d label these heretical creeds as Paulity. They have very little to do with the words and deeds of Christ, or living up to them, and far more to do with how Saul of Tarsus interpreted them.

You may recall the Catholic Church was born out of the first Nicaean Council, where they canonized the four gospels that best reinforced the idea of the supremacy of the Roman state, and burned the hundreds of other so-called “gnostic” gospels, which (judging by the content of the few that survived) far better encapsulate what I would consider “real Christianity”.

That said, the whole “No True Scotsman” fallacy really isn’t worth pursuing. It’s been this way since 325 CE, and there really is no painting a happy face on one of the most destructive and inhumane ideologies history has to offer. No matter what my opinion may be, you are correct in pointing out that the Paulity is the institution that is currently regarded as “Real Christianity”, as sick and anti-Christian as it may be.

To be fair, it isnt; but then neither is Evangelicism or Mormonism or any of these other wackadoo cults within which these assholes conflate their hatred and fear with faith.

Is that pronounced “Mistex”?

Don’t get me wrong, I want them all to rot in prison, but Meadows better not end up being the fall guy here.

At the end of its life, the last Mac I had took close to ten minutes to boot. Apple store said they wouldn’t replace or repair the HDD, but would only offer me a deal on a replacement Mac. Honestly never dealt with a more garbage company in my life.

Replaced it with a Dell G15 laptop and have had zero problems and consistently lightning-fast boots.

TLDR: Apple’s garbage hardware and customer service converted this (20+ years) Mac user over to Windows.

Reminds me of the Nabootique

“Leads, yeah, sure. I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts! …Leads!”
