Pope Leo XIV has consistently spoken out against the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics, a notable stance given his status as the first American pope.

Grindr boy claims that mistreating immigrants is okay by the Bible.

Meanwhile:

Leviticus 19:33–34 When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt.

    Nah I’m pretty sure he’s a true believer. The basically believe with their “seven mountain mandate” that if they control the seven “mountains” (media, government, education, economy, religion, celebration, and family) they can bring about the rapture and the return of Jesus. After the apocalypse and all that.

      Oh Jesus Christ that’s right I recall reading something about that seven mountains last year. They aren’t far off from that either. The return of angry jesus, not that woke new testament jesus, angry jesus promises to drown the world in lake so of blood and fire. That’s not hyperbole either that’s like verbatim these guys are fucking nuts.

      Are baptists evangelicals? I think they are technically different but functionally kind of the same, or can be. They are 25% of the republican base in any case. That is why the president can seemingly do little wrong. They appreciate the degeneration to bring on said rapture and end of the world, which somehow is something they want to happen.

      Me personally I oppose drowning the world in blood and fire.

        The theology of “burn it all down so God can destroy the bad ones and we good ones can get our reward from God” is childish, selfish and lazy. No wonder it’s so popular compared to doing the kind of hard work Jesus did.
