Stupid things religious people say

"The shooter’s motive could have been political, religious or something else, Mr. Lahmeyer said, but regardless, Mr. Kirk was a martyr."

"The shooter’s motive could have been political, religious or something else, Mr. Lahmeyer said, but regardless, Mr. Kirk was a martyr."

Well, I guess even ignorance and hatred need martyrs.

Kirk can stand for both.

Keeps everyone from talking about the Epstein file.

From CNN:

Erika Kirk said her husband, Charlie Kirk, “will stand at his savior’s side wearing the glorious crown of a martyr,” in her first public remarks since he was fatally shot at an event Wednesday. “Charlie always said that when he was gone, he wanted to be remembered for his courage and for his faith,” she said.

I can't help but think that a man of faith should have had something better to do than to spread misinformation about liberals. See Brainy Quotes for examples.

The Shameful Christian Idolatry and Fraudulent Martyrdom of Charlie Kirk

A pastor I once partnered with posted an emotional video calling Kirk a “man who loves the Lord, stands on the morals and the traditional values of the Bible, and believes in Jesus and is a follower of Christ”—and within minutes of Kirk’s death, announced a public prayer vigil to pray for Charlie Kirk’s family and for “revival” to come to our nation.

And with every passing second since his reprehensible killing, the Right has worked tirelessly to turn Kirk into a modern-day martyr; a supposed unabashed lover of Jesus whose brutal murder proved he lived and died for the Lord, violently taken by the Godless Left, and crystallizing the righteousness of the MAGA movement.

I’d like to be shocked at the theological gymnastics of this, but these are the same self-identified Christians who’ve spent the last decade lionizing a vile, amoral, serial predator and court-adjudicated rapist, so the bar for sainthood is now subterranean.

I wish the tens of millions of Conservative Christians would take a few minutes from their performative, garment-rending histrionics to read or listen to Charlie Kirk’s own words, to look objectively at the agenda he spent the last years of his life promoting with his massive platform:

Kirk had claimed that passing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a "huge mistake" that has now become an "anti-white weapon".

On a January 3rd, 2024, episode of his show, Kirk continued his incessant verbal assaults on women of color, saying “If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder, is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

During an April 5, 2023, appearance at the Salt Lake City campus of Awaken Church, Kirk said, "It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.That is a prudent deal."

In March of 2024, Kirk said on his show: The great replacement strategy, which is well underway every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.

Kirk has left a hateful, dehumanizing legacy of words that Conservative Christians are either choosing to ignore in their zeal to canonize him, or they simply share his racist, phobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, antisemitic, supremacist sentiments, and in Trump’s garish, Jesus-less remodeling of the Christian faith in America, now imagine them righteous.

The reality is if we don't get vaccinated with Jesus, we will face God on judgment day. God gave us every cure that we need. While big Pharma is trying to kill us. That is why RFK Jr. wants to bring back the power to the people and we have been really just oppressed by Big Pharma and by the government.

Have you baptized your Labubu?

TikTok users worldwide are staging mock 'baptisms' of the toy, believing it resembles Pazuzu, the demon from The Exorcist.

The bizarre trend has ignited cultural anxiety, even as folklore experts refute any occult origins. The trend began late August 2025, when Labubu toys, part of the Pop Mart collectable range, were linked by social media users to the ancient Mesopotamian demon featured in William Friedkin's 1973 horror classic 'The Exorcist'.

Video clips posted on TikTok showed users staging mock baptisms of the figures, pouring water over them while reciting prayers. The phenomenon has spread across the United States, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom.

He might be up to something considering that Paul was also a bigoted cunt.

New York Archbishop Who Hailed Charlie Kirk A ‘Modern Day St Paul’

“I was caught off guard and that doesn’t happen too much,” Dolan said. “When I heard the tragic news, I thought, ‘I wonder who he was.’ Then this overwhelming sense of sorrow and renewal came over me. The more I learned about him, I thought, this guy is a modern-day St. Paul.”
