Herr Von Popenfuhrer is still around and he wouldn't like it.

It may very well be people wishing me well and I wouldn't say for certain they aren't just trying to be nice, but it's still condescending as fuck, because it implies that you need to be prayed for, as in there's something wrong with you and also that the person praying is somehow magically superior to you in terms of brownie points with the big guy and has the authority to ask him to fix you. Personally I find this incredibly insulting.

I was once told by a jesus-obsessed acquaintance that she would pray for me and in response I said something along the lines of 'tell god I love satan's dick' Blush

I like him for his statements on social issues, I don't like him for his dogma. I don't have to buy the whole package to agree with someone saying the right things occasionally.

As for the redeeming issue, my always repeated point still stands. Given the trinity, what was the sacrifice and what for?

Sorry, that's just plain stupid. He was in the Hitler Youth, which was mandatory, given his date of birth. There's everything to not like about him, starting with his career and ending with his term as pope, but that's just ludicrous and baseless.

"The Lord has redeemed all of us, all of us..."

Oh sweet! *does some mild sinning*

"Hey stop or you'll burn in hell!"

...but you just said...
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

redeemed all of us for himself to himself

Huh
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Still as delusional as every Randy. I will not be part of reinforcing your dual delusions.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
