Went with the Yahoo! link as they are guaranteed to not have some sort of paywall that pops out of nowhere. Also because the Insider used a video, so this is an actual word transcription
Also wut
I don’t care how unpopular this opinion is, but all religions are fucking stupid, and this is just another bullet point in the list of stupid shit zealots do to maintain control over the masses. Oh, you’re losing your young people to atheism and science? Better give them a role model and make a fucking saint out of a junior web dev with a geocities site. Holy shit.
Actual holy shit.
Oh and yep God said you’re not allowed to drink alcohol /s
He was pretty clear in Quran on that topic.
Too much coffee, not enough beer.

What a brave and controversial opinion on Lemmy
Pope Francis abolished the rule of pontifical secrecy that had protected accused child abusers from criminal investigation and has a history of promoting acceptance and inclusion for trans and gay people within the Church.
I don’t agree with organized religion in general, and the Roman Catholic Church is particularly problematic. But as far as popes go, I believe Francis is a good one.
Vatican says sex reassignment surgery, surrogacy and gender theory threaten human ‘dignity’
He gave Cardinal George Pell a special position working in the Vatican so he could flee my country and avoid prosecution.
Pope Francis is a shitcunt of the highest order.
The Vatican declares sex reassignment operations and surrogacy as grave threats to human "dignity", putting them on par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that violate God's plan for human life.
Shit’s embarrassing. Don’t know how people can represent the church with a straight face.
Also: when you get cancer who has the idea to pray to some rando? God’s busy, maybe this 15 year old ghost can get his attention for me.
I have never understood why catholic iconography is fine to pray to, but other stuff = straight to hell.
While were on the topic of christian nonsense, why are adam and especially eve always portrayed with bellybuttons
I was raised Catholic and had the misfortune of going to a Catholic school, so I can give you the reasons they believe these things. To start off, I know nothing about eastern Orthodox Catholic beliefs
It’s interesting how catholicism is both monotheist and polytheist in a sense, there’s only one god but you still pray to all those saints to act on God’s behalf. There are so many “pagan” rites and beliefs that got somehow absorbed into the faith over time, it’s truly an amalgam of old Indo-European religions.
Also to your second point, I’m pretty sure they meant that Genesis is poetical symbolism as opposed to a literal historical account, which seems to be what most denominations nowadays that aren’t completely cuckoo crazy agree on, the Catholic church included.
As an ex catholic, there’s a lot of hiding behind the veil of time.i haven’t read a lot of apologia and learned catechism when I was 15. Shits vague and blurry to me now, but I remember a feeling that the answers were long winded and not satisfactory. I should read Aquinas and some modern apologia, but epicurus’ paradox really sums up the beginning of my journey into looking into all the bullshit.
On the switch from literal to metaphor interpretation of the Bible, I think science has penetrated deep enough into nature that is just foolish to keep fighting it. The drought/ flood isn’t because God is punishing you for not believing/ praying enough. Here’s models and data, worlds on fire and getting worse.
During his brief life, Acutis created a website cataloging each Eucharistic miracle in the world and listing approved Marian apparitions of the Catholic Church.
He made a list and they call him a computer genius. Not the Onion material.

saints table?
It needs to happen twice. I would help you but I still poses the indestructibility of youth.
spoilerI think the person also needs to be Catholic.
As far as I recall, you need to perform 3 miracles that have to be verified (yes, I know lmao) by the Catholic church in order to be canonized (dubbed a saint).
Often times these aren’t major miracles with significant outcomes but picture a statue crying or the image of the person appearing on a slice of toast or whatever.
Can we go with another fictional character yet? It has been so long since Jesus was added to the lore that the fantasy of it has been waning with all these mundane saints.
I nominate Joker for, erm… you know, always putting on a smile even when getting a beating from Batman the, umm… Dark Knight, which is definitely an evil title, right?
