MTG very obviously doesn't really believe in the religion she claims to follow.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 20 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

They really hated him because he was a little more tolerant of minorities.

[–] wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 hours ago

She hated him because he was at least a little ok with some LGBT.

I hated him for being the leader of one of the biggest, most corrupt organizations ever to exist on the planet.

We are (fucking definitely) not the same.

If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

Magic the gathering is not that evil. Is it?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 10 points 5 hours ago

MTGs existence might be the strongest argument against a caring god.

That's even worse than most of the shit Donald Trump says. Does this mean she's running for president?

[–] seemefeelme@infosec.pub 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.

She's a woman that has learned that she can get away with anything, as long as she behaves badly enough. She doesn't need to believe it, though she probably does, she knows that is a strategy that works to avoid consequences.

Not that i believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist im pretty sure the pope gonna be aight

[–] EuropeanPrimate@lemm.ee 22 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

These people are crazy. Even if you think that, keep it to yourself.

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

I hate mtg but you sound like the people who wanted all the Irish to be nice when Thatcher died. I’m an aboriginal person, and survivor of child sexually abuse, i will dance on the grave of the pope who defended and shielded pedos, and I will look at news of his death and say GOOD. And if you think that’s not nice:

Nah I just meant for people to keep their negative comments to themselves, referring to her thinking the pope was evil. I’m not even sure what you’re talking about.

I think they were saying "even if you think that the Pope is evil, keep it to yourself," but you're correct that they left it open to interpretation.

[–] EuropeanPrimate@lemm.ee 2 points 6 hours ago

Yes this is what I meant

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 hours ago

Your mom and I both think you're cool.

[–] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 42 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

My god did Vance kill the Pope!

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 26 points 11 hours ago

How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 15 points 12 hours ago

The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"

[–] 3aqn5k6ryk@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

This fucking bitch.

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 36 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 5 points 5 hours ago

And this pope was one of the least evil!

[–] But_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world 7 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I guess she’s gotta be right at least once

[–] HawlSera@lemm.ee 2 points 2 hours ago

Francis wasn't evil

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 20 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

So…. The pope is evil? Did he do a woke?

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 10 hours ago (2 children)
[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Honestly she is probably jealous

He shielded child rapists, so yes evil. But that's not mtg's reason.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 22 points 12 hours ago

If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.

Karma is what we make it. The world don't care.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 156 points 18 hours ago (19 children)

Y'all would have killed Jesus.

Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?

[–] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 88 points 17 hours ago (4 children)

She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.

Is this what a good Christian sounds like?

You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Maybe god is like Santa

Everyone knows Santa favors the rich kids

Vultures.

It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.

That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.
