“Only the good die young” -William Martin Joel
Forking shirtballs, we’re in the bad place!
Obligatory:
Gonna save this one
So, so many ways.
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/evil/ offers some good discussion.
Thanks, looks interesting!
The theological explanation from Catholic dogma would be along the lines of God doesn’t really interfere with the day-to-day goings on of the world.
Is prayer actively discouraged in Catholicism?
No, you can and should beg god for devine intervention that he probably doesnt do and thank for his gracefullness which he hasnt shown. Or at least whoreship him, because he is so great and benevolent while he is hearing the prayers and letting good people die nevertheless. Or maybe there werent enough prayers yet, for THE POPE.
It all makes a lot of sense you see.
You’re talking about the same god that let Satan torture Job to win a bet. Even in Christian doctrine, god doesn’t give a fuck about people. He just wants obeisance.
He sent his own son to be tortured because he was too much of a coward to go himself, and that’s supposed to be laudable!?
Yes, but also he is his own son so he did send himself. I will not be taking any further questions
God is obviously malevolent. All of his conservative representatives being evil should be a clue.
I think it makes more sense to say Yahweh is malevolent. It started off as a god of thunder and war, and when the ancient Judeans moved from a polytheist pantheon to a monotheist model, that’s who the groups that won had chosen as their god.
But yeah, name a single diety directly responsible for more death and destruction? It literally pits 3 and a half groups that worship it against each other! To generate war. To generate death. It feeds on death and pain.
Anyone whos actually read the bible knows the christian god is a violent genocidal sociopath. It only makes sense he would reward that behavior.
That is the god of the old testament, he had a complete personality shift in the new one.
Splitting himself into two (or three?) seems to have an calming effect on God
The early Christians weren’t really happy with the new religious literature they had at the time, so they agreed to remove specific parts. The remaining books were largely incompatible with the older ones, but they clearly weren’t aiming for a consistent collection anyway. As a result, we got a book series with all sorts of twists and turns.
God doesn’t care, or God doesn’t know.
If he knows, but does not care, then he is not good.
If he cares, but does not know, then he is not god.
If this is part of the plan, then God is evil.
Fuck the the Catholic Church and anyone that supports it.
There’s no indication that God would be good. In the Bible, David did something bad so God had 10 of his wives raped as punishment. He ordered genocide, specifically including that suckling children were to be killed. He does a lot of bad shit. Maybe he’s real and he’s a Trump supporter.
If God existed, I doubt he goes around with a magic cancer wand. That being said, Pope Leo isn’t a good person, he just has a good media team.
Pope Leo isn’t a good person
Why do you say that?
He doesn’t support women in the ministry, vilified the LGBTQ community and most importantly, protected pedo priests.
He doesn’t support women in the ministry
That’s not entirely true. While he doesn’t support women in the priesthood or as bishops (as set in Catholic dogma), he has placed women in high administrative positions within the Vatican, which is something other popes haven’t done.
vilified the LGBTQ community
Also not true. He’s pushed a policy of welcoming all people, and while it’s true he doesn’t support gay marriage, that is again due to established Catholic dogma and has been much more progressive than previous popes.
protected pedo priests.
I can’t say whether or not that’s true, I can’t find any instances of him protecting pedo priests.
He doesn’t support women in the ministry
Admin positions aren’t the Ministry
vilified the LGBTQ comm
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/09/pope-leo-xiv-lgbtq
protected pedo priests.
There’s another case in Chicago if I recall correctly
In any case, being gay is still considered a sin and he was at a pedo priests birthday party 3 years ago. He’s being told to pander by his media team, but absolutely nothing has changed and he’s more than likely a hateful power hungry horrorshow. He’s at a minimum worst than Francis (not saying much, every Pope is a low bar)
The whole org is a fucking shit show, I can’t believe people are actually buying this stuff.
Original sin baybeee!
🤣🤣🤣
God isn’t catholic
But is he mormon or protestant?
He is a scientologist. And his real name is Xenu.
LIES! He is spaghetti!
May His Noodly Appendage Touch You
Eru Iluvatar is not a scientologist. I have a number of books, not just one, that say as much, so it must be true.
Have you considered the possibility that God is an incompetent moron?
In any decently run universe this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago.
Or god likes the pope too and wants to hang with him but to do that he has to kill him.
Enoch would beg to differ
