Stupid things religious people say

[Fake Messiah]

The Today show, which aired today at 7:40 AM, was profiling an American team that claims to have found Noah’s Ark. It was an NBC "exclusive" with Christian researcher Andrew Jones, who is promoting the Durupinar site, as he has for years. This time he's claiming to have found "tunnels" under the natural formation that he claims are the ship's "decks."

‘God is an anti-vaxxer’: Inside the conference celebrating RFK Jr.’s rise

“God is an anti-vaxxer, and he needs you to speak up,” said Del Bigtree, a former top Kennedy political adviser and head of the anti-vaccine group Informed Consent Action Network. He urged the health secretary’s supporters to press their fight at a weekend-long celebration of their newfound Washington influence.

After spending years on the fringes of the medical community and dismissed as peddlers of dangerous misinformation about vaccine safety, the anti-vaccine group Kennedy founded, Children’s Health Defense, is now stronger than ever and wielding clout in President Donald Trump’s administration.

The mission has gone from the “fringe into the forefront,” Children’s Health Defense advocacy and outreach manager Stephanie Locricchio said as she kicked off the conference. She asked attendees to reduce electromagnetic radiation exposure by putting their phones on airplane mode and turning off Bluetooth.

A Washington Post-KFF poll found 1 in 6 Americans have skipped or delayed vaccinating their children, with American parents who chose to do so being more likely to home-school their children, be White and very religious, identify as Republican, or be under 35.

Peter Hildebrand, whose unvaccinated 8-year-old daughter Daisy died of measles-related complications in Texas this spring, said he would do everything in his power to protect his children from vaccines and try his best to never go to a hospital again. Children’s Health Defense had previously promoted the position that poor medical care was to blame for Daisy’s death.

“Thank God for Donald Trump. Thank God for RFK Jr.,” he said to applause. “And thank God for CHD.”

Florida’s surgeon general, Joseph A. Ladapo, who came under fire for announcing his push alongside Gov. Ron DeSantis ® to seek to end vaccine mandates in the state, spoke to the crowd about the importance of fighting for what they believe in.

“God had me go to Harvard Medical School so I could eventually come out on the other side and say what I think is right,” Ladapo said.

The booths of conference sponsors included “Blessed By His Blood,” which matches “mRNA tech-free blood donations to recipients”; ProgenaBiome, a company that analyzes people’s feces; Best EMF Products, which promotes products to protect against cellphone radiation; and a variety of other health freedom or anti-vaccine groups.

Former Porn Star Jenna Jameson Says She's Helping Her Fans 'Find Jesus'

Jenna Jameson established her name in the adult-film industry ... but those days are far behind her, as she showed her dedication to religion in a video she posted on Sunday.

The former porn star pulled out a cross necklace in the clip, mouthing she'd be "switching sides" ... ostensibly from her wild past to her apparent religion-centered present.

She writes she's been baptized and wants to help her followers "find Jesus" ... after years of being known for her "body and sin."

Jenna left a short message in her post's caption encouraging her followers to "crack the Bible," adding they wouldn't regret it.

Jenna talked to the New York Post and said she'd become a "loud and proud" Christian, and wants her fans to know they aren't "irredeemable."

This isn't the first time Jenna's been outspoken about religion ... she converted to Judaism in 2015. She cited antisemitism as the reason why she left X in 2019, according to Us Weekly.

Wow, thanks, Vatican, for clearing this up. I don't know about you, but I was on the cusp of believing that Jesus talked to a woman in France in the 1970s and that a 700-meter cross needed to be built, and then the Vatican debunked it all.

And people say that the Vatican has no sense for skepticism.

Vatican refutes claims of Jesus appearing in a French cliff, says stories shouldn't be regarded

In a new instruction approved by Pope Leo, the Vatican's top doctrinal office said stories of appearances by Jesus in the town of Dozule, in Normandy, were not to be considered genuine by the world's 1.4 billion Catholics.

A Catholic mother in the town had reported seeing Jesus 49 times during the 1970s, and said he had dictated a series of messages and told her to build a 7.38-meter (24.21-foot) cross on a hillside in the town.

"The phenomenon of the alleged apparitions ... is to be regarded, definitively, as not supernatural in origin, with all the consequences that flow from this determination," said the text issued by the doctrinal office.

Catholics believe religious figures such as Jesus and Mary can make supernatural appearances, called apparitions, to offer religious messages, create new devotional practices, or make general appeals for peace.

The Vatican has a formal evaluation process for assessing claimed appearances, and it warns against the use of alleged phenomena for monetary gain.

"The Cross does not need 738 meters of steel or concrete to be recognized: it is raised every time a heart, moved by grace, opens itself to forgiveness," the Vatican said on Wednesday regarding the alleged appearances in Dozule.

The instruction also noted that the reported appearance of Jesus had said the world would end before the year 2000. "Clearly, this purported prophecy was not fulfilled," it said.

She can no longer trade on her body, so she's going to join those trading on faith. Unfortunately, that seems to be a bottomless well.

The "born agains" are among the worst!

Maybe Jenna is making sacred porn that is using porn symbolism to explain theology and thus draw people to Christ. Like, a penis disappears in her vagina, like Jesus in the tomb, and then it comes back invigorated, like Jesus from the tomb. Especially if she shaved her pubes to resemble the crucifixion.

And she wouldn't be a first Christian apologist to use her or his skin to spice up some apologetics—am I right, gay guys?

Jesus never said marriage was between a man and only one woman.

Missouri Pastor Defends Polygamy After Taking Second Wife

Rich Tidwell, a Missouri pastor, is arguing that the Bible allows for polygamy after announcing his marriage to a second wife, who is expecting his eighth child.

Tidwell, the pastor of Ormond Church in Canton, argues extensively in a sermon titled “David’s Two Wife” and a long-form article titled “On Plural Marriage” that the Scriptures nowhere prohibit men from marrying multiple wives. In fact, he argues, polygamous marriages are “divinely ordained.”

Ormond Church describes itself as a place “to hear God’s Word, to grow strong in faith, and to serve Jesus together in love…as we draw closer to the Resurrection!”

In his argument for the moral virtue of polygamy, Tidwell points out that numerous biblical figures in the Old Testament were married to more than one woman, including the patriarchs of the nation of Israel, as well as several of Israel’s kings.

When it comes to the New Testament, Tidwell acknowledges that scholars and Bible teachers have argued that while God accommodated for polygamy in the context of the ancient culture of the Old Testament, it was not part of his original design for marriage. However, Tidwell questions whether the New Testament condemns the practice.

“When we study the Scriptures diligently as the Bereans did (Acts 17:11), we’ll soon discover the New Testament does approve of plural marriage and welcomed Jewish converts in plural families into the Church,” argues Tidwell.

Tidwell argues against the traditional understanding that church elders must be “the husband of one wife” (1 Timothy 3:2), relying on a revised understanding of the Greek word that is rendered as “one” in essentially all modern translations. Tidwell argues that the verse is better rendered as “the husband of his first wife.”

“A man who divorces his first wife to marry another, as Jesus prohibits in Matthew 19:9 (also Mal 2:15-16), is not fit for Eldership in the Church. Paul is not addressing polygyny,” argues Tidwell.

In a July social media post, Tidwell said that his eighth child, the first with his second wife, is the fulfillment of prophetic promise.

“When Kristan and I met and began courting, she received a prophecy from the Lord that our first child together would be a daughter and her name was to be ‘Grace.’ She wrote it down and gave it to me for safe keeping,” wrote Tidwell.
