Stupid things religious people say
RE: Stupid things religious people say
You might be praying with a satanic rosary!! 😱 Also, buy sacred images only in Catholic churches and church affiliated stores because others might be cursed by witches.

But, then again, don't all Christian denominations, except Catholics, consider rosaries to be satanic?

Quote:An exorcist warned the public about the circulation of Satanic rosaries and religious items in the country, during the most recent airing of the once-a-month spiritual warfare episode of the Diocese of Novaliches’ Radio Veritas segment “Hello Father 911”.

“Kapanalig listeners, be careful as the rosaries you might be using could actually be infested or cursed,” warned Fr. Ambrosio Nonato Legaspi in his personal capacity as Libera Nox chief exorcist in the Novaliches diocese.

The rosaries are those being given away by Satanists, explained the priest, particularly by the group called Iluminati. He said the rosaries have been “prayed over” by its makers, consecrating them to evil so that whoever uses it will be followed by evil spirits.


teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I think that's just a baptist thing, they're normally the most batshit bunch.

Christian Leaders Offer Biblical Explanation for Pentagon UFO Images

Two Christian leaders – Jeremiah J. Johnston of the Christian Thinkers Society and Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in California – say the biblical worldview offers a far different framework for understanding the unexplained phenomena.

“The moment someone spots something unexplained in the sky, the cultural default is immediately ‘aliens from outer space,’” Laurie asserted. “But what if the better explanation isn't extraterrestrial – but extra-dimensional? What if what we're dealing with isn't from another planet, but from another realm entirely – the spiritual realm?”

Both Laurie and Johnston suggested that the images could depict angels or demons (sometimes called fallen angels).

“So when a pastor asks me, ‘Do I believe there is intelligent life beyond Earth?’ my answer is: of course,” Johnston wrote. “The Bible has told us so for millennia. The heavens are teeming with intelligent beings. We call them angels. We call them principalities. We call them powers. Scripture names them. Jesus spoke of them. Paul wrote letters about them.”

“A wheel within a wheel,” Laurie added. “Gleaming like beryl. Moving instantly in any direction without turning. I don't know exactly what Ezekiel saw – but I know it was real, it was other-worldly, and it wasn't from Mars. It was a manifestation of the living God and His angelic host – and by every modern technical definition, it was an Unidentified Flying Object.”

Johnston said from his perspective, UFOs fall into four categories: 1) Misidentified objects such as ice crystals or tricks of light, 2) classified human technology, 3) angelic activity, and 4) demonic activity.

“Now, if holy angels can appear this way, what do you suppose fallen angels are capable of? Billy Graham put it well in his landmark book Angels – we should not be surprised if demonic forces counterfeit supernatural phenomena in order to deceive,” Laurie wrote. “The enemy has always been in the business of imitation. He masquerades as an angel of light. Why wouldn't he masquerade as something that captures the imagination of a generation that has largely traded the spiritual for the scientific?”

Johnston said society’s growing fascination with UFOs may signal a culture increasingly vulnerable to spiritual deception.

“A generation conditioned by Hollywood to expect cosmic visitors is a generation primed for deception,” Johnston wrote. “If the enemy of our souls – who Scripture says masquerades as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14) – wanted to engineer a worldview-shattering event for the modern secular mind, what better stage prop than a sky full of unexplained lights and a culture desperate to believe in something, anything, beyond itself?”

"Bring guns to the church so that we can shoot at the devil when he shows up."

But seriously, if you can't even go to a church without packing a gun, then why bother pretending that you have faith? Or maybe it's all part of the delusional game that Christianity is because it's exciting to be a Christian if you think you're being persecuted.

Quote:More Christian leaders are welcoming guns in church

With violence at houses of worship grabbing headlines, more U.S. churches are relying on members of the flock — and even pastors — to defend the congregation in case of a mass-shooter attack.

A growing number of conservative Christians also see it as their spiritual duty to pack in the pews and get firearms training.

"Religion and guns have become intimately entangled over the past few years," said Ryan Burge, a political scientist and professor at Washington University in St. Louis.

U.S. clergy said they had become more reliant on armed parishioners for security. Only 21% said they would prohibit firearms in their house of worship.

Pastor Jimmie Hardaway of Trinity Baptist Church in Niagara Falls, New York, defends the acceptance of firearms in the pews. He carries a .380-caliber pistol in church and advocates for his parishioners also to come armed. He believes it's "a spiritual duty to protect."

"We talk about the devil, but he's not just trying to destroy us spiritually — he's trying to get us physically, too," Hardaway told The Record. "We need to protect those that we care about. It's our obligation."

He knows many critics will argue that "Jesus turned the other cheek," he said. But Jesus also "cleared the temple and chased people out who were doing wrong," Hardaway said.

Today, he said, "We live in a different time," when guns are needed for self-defense.

"From Catholic churches to Jewish synagogues and beyond, faith communities across America are awakening to the urgent need to protect their congregations amid a disturbing rise in targeted attacks on places of worship,” Justin Davis, the National Rifle Association's director of public affairs, said in a statement.

In recent years, the organization has also been using religious language to frame gun rights as a divine right.

They need guns because they don't have faith that their god will protect them!

Never underestimate the power of very stupid people in large groups

"Oil Pipelines Align With Jesus," Danielle Smith Tells Christian Leaders

Building a new oil pipeline to the west coast of Canada is consistent with the teachings of Jesus, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told a gathering of Christian leaders and organizations from across the province last week.

“We reached a landmark energy agreement with Ottawa that will pave the way for a new pipeline to the west coast,” Smith said during a panel at the May 4 Alberta Christian Leadership Summit, which featured cabinet ministers from her provincial United Conservative Party (UCP) government as well as federal Conservative MPs.

The premier argued that a new pipeline would help meet growing global energy demand. But she also had a message specifically tailored to her Christian audience. “There’s another way to look at it,” she said. “I’m sure you remember the Parable of the Talents in the Gospel of Matthew — in it, Jesus teaches about stewardship.”

Smith said that particular biblical passage refers to humankind being entrusted with resources that must be managed carefully for the benefit of other people. This “fits with how Albertans feel about the resources that are beneath our feet,” she said.

So the environmental disaster of tar sands is actually stewardship that Jesus had in mind.

Matthew 29:1

And the Lord did go Him among the people of Alberta and saith unto them, ‘Lo! God the Father has given unto ye sands of the Earth that He hath blessed to be rich in bitumen. Do not concern thy selves with the poisons that will kill the creeping and growing things, and cause thy children to be malformed into the seventh generation.’ So saith the LORD.
