'Evil is being defeated by God': Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope's death

This made me laugh incredibly hard, so had to cross post it.
Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?
She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.
Heretic!
Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.
"Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."
Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence. That's different than being kind to them.
I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically
80% of the conclave was appointed by the Pope. I doubt it's gonnabe a radical chnge in the Vatican.
Do you seriously think the Vatican is influenced by MAGA? Or by European far-right elements for that matter?
It's no coincidence, no outlier, that the last one was slightly more tolerant on certain issues. (Apparently enough to piss off more than one US christofascist.) I fear MTG will not see God's plan in whatever follows, either.
Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals, and I find it unlikely he'd appoint someone so ready to buddy with fascism, so we will likely still have a liberal pope.
Hopefully one that pisses hateful bigots like her off even more.
#ZendayaForPope
Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals so more than likely we will get another woke pope. Hopefully this one is even woker.
But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.
I've been reading up on the front-runners for Pope and some of them are super old school illiberal. Though the fellow from Ghana does apparently concede that the laws on homosexuality in some African countries are a bit harsh.

And for some odd reason they are ALL avid voters.
Let's not forget Alex Jones, still holding on with this bare teeth claiming "The State" is after him. (heard a curated interview with Fucker Carlson yesterday, what a cringefest)
don't forget the fucking "Westboro Baptist Church"
Is this what a good Christian sounds like?
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that's why they're Satanists
Satanists don't typically believe in God, let alone that he created evil.
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character "God" is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.
But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.
The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday.
I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"The Baptist Georgia governor won a majority of evangelical Christian voters in the 1976 presidential election. Next time around, those voters had changed sides—for the long haul." ... "Before this sustained propaganda barrage, however, many of those questions had not yet acquired any hard-line partisan or denominational coloration—indeed, in 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision sanctioning the individual right to abortion, Roe v. Wade, Carter’s own Southern Baptist conference issued a statement supporting the ruling. Instead, Carter became vilified among religious conservatives for several specific policy decisions."
My god did Vance kill the Pope!
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.
Can't lie, if I had to meet that dweeb IRL my matter would start decaying very fast too.
They really hated him because he was a little more tolerant of minorities.
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.
I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?
If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?
MTGs existence might be the strongest argument against a caring god.
Magic the gathering is not that evil. Is it?
Oh face of evil,
Oh Marjorie Trailer Queen,
The evil you know,
Is the evil you've seen.
Oh face of spite,
A reflection so mean,
The ugliest sight,
Is the one you preen.
Oh face of shame,
A soul so obscene,
The monster you blame,
Is the one you’ve been.
now, all you motherfuckers, i wanna hear you scream!!!!
at least, that's how i'd have ended it
This is way too beautiful for that piece of trash.
But it's really good. Did you write that?
Wrote the first part. Asked AI for two more based on the first and then tweaked the final. ✌️
Attention whoring as usual. And it’s working.
She still looks like a neanderthal tho so at least we've got that going for us.
These people are crazy. Even if you think that, keep it to yourself.
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.
Your mom and I both think you're cool.
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.
So…. The pope is evil? Did he do a woke?
He demanded compassion
Seems unlikely they'll puff the pope smoke to select anyone who could bother Trump by demonstrating the weakness of empathy, but I would be glad to be proven wrong.
Honestly she is probably jealous
He shielded child rapists, so yes evil. But that's not mtg's reason.
Super old guy: dies
MTG: IT COULD ONLY HAVE BEEN AN ACT OF GOD
MTG very obviously doesn't really believe in the religion she claims to follow.
Most Republicans don't. Never have in my lifetime, honestly, but with how hard they fight these days against e.g. feeding the hungry and treating the sick, it's more glaringly obvious than ever.
Dumbest schism ever.
This fucking bitch.
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.
A smart woman tends not to advance the cause of misogyny no. They kinda don't wanna end up like that chick from Handmaid's Tale who got reading banned for her gender and now she's bored.
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.
You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?
God helps those who help themselves. (Tee hee)
Maybe god is like Santa
Everyone knows Santa favors the rich kids
The people in the white house are talking more and more like gaudy villains from 90's anime.
Not that i believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist im pretty sure the pope gonna be aight
Imagine the fun the world will have making jokes when this vapid bint exits the mortal realm.
Has anyone thought to test her for rabies yet?
I would disguise myself as a book.
She's up for reelection Nov 3, 2026.
That's even worse than most of the shit Donald Trump says. Does this mean she's running for president?
(Once in a while, I start a joke only to realize it'll take 4 or 5 interactions for the punchline to not involve the FBI knocking on my door with a battering ram. Don't have the patience for it at this moment.)
I'm pretty sure she lost all respect a long time ago
I mean, even without the political angle she'd still say this. She's not Catholic so the concept of a pope is already blasphemous. Christians warring amongst themselves is normal.
This convinces me Trump definitely did not order the assassination of the Pope.
Y'all would have killed Jesus.
fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.
If you believe in that sort of thing.
If God is real, he's evil.
I don't.
"Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state" - Killer Mike.
Jesus, who came back from the dead? Like a zombie? Zombie Jesus is lord. I worship a zombie cult? I need to rethink my life.
Well he was from Palestine and had a darker complexion so most likely.
They really are the exact opposite of what they preach
If a man says Eat Me some of us take it as permission. Dude could turn water to wine he must have been delicious tho
