If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.
@Strandjunker I would hazard a guess a large portion of self-described Christians don't actually believe in Jesus.

@vonxylofon @Strandjunker

oh they believe in *a* jesus

their jesus carries an AR-15, worships plutocracy, and hates trans people and immigrants

of course, that has nothing to do with the actual Jesus

so they are fake Christians, hewing to bigotry and ignorance and hate

a cult of violent morons

@benroyce @vonxylofon @Strandjunker a lot of people can ‘believe’ if they delusionally believe it supports their beliefs or cause.

Which is why I love reading Dante’s Inferno, as an agnostic.

While those ‘Christians’ end up in the deepest level of ‘Hell’ (if it exists), I’ll end up in Purgatory chatting with the likes of Plato, Socrates, etc. 😂
