Stupid things religious people say
RE: Stupid things religious people say
Prophet Donna Rigney claims she opened a portal over the White House & Mar-a-Lago so Trump will now "easily be able to get intel from the Holy Spirit": "God is easily going to be able to give him wisdom for decisions he has to make." Also, a "profile of an angel's face" appeared in the clouds



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"

According to Premier Christianity, weddings between men and women were dead because of the secular culture, but now Taylor Swift’s wedding is bringing them back. Because people are puppets who never think for themselves but are simply told what to do by the church or the dreaded secular culture.

And since Christianity always promoted heterosexual marriage, it is logical to assume that people will be hopping to churches and Sunday masses.

Not to mention that Taylor and Kelce’s wedding was SECULAR.

Quote:Culture told us that marriage is outdated. Taylor Swift’s wedding says otherwise

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding has been celebrated by women across the West as if it were the news of a close friend. Lois McLatchie Miller argues that the fascination reveals a longing for love that our culture has often taught women to minimise – and one that the Church can breathe life back into.

It is difficult to imagine a more powerful reminder that career success and public acclaim cannot satisfy the deepest longings of the human heart.

That should not surprise Christians. The Bible begins not with human achievement but with relationship. “It is not good for the man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). Marriage is never presented merely as a social convention but as part of God’s good design, ultimately pointing beyond itself to Christ’s covenant love for his Church.

Christians should not accept the modern assumption that marriage and motherhood are somehow lesser aspirations for capable women.

Perhaps that is why Swift’s wedding has resonated so widely. It arrives at a moment when marriage itself has become increasingly out of reach for many young people.

In promoting marriage on a worldwide scale, Taylor has accidentally achieved what the Church have been too shy to do for some time. But the Church has an even more powerful and healing message about marriage – not that it brings personal fulfilment, but that it is an imperfect mirror to the deep, unfailing love that God has for us.

The audience is ready. Millions of millennials want to know what our culture has recommended they postpone, delay or dismiss. Christians have an opportunity to speak into that longing – not by idolising marriage, nor by diminishing singleness, but by recovering a beautiful vision of covenant, commitment and family as gifts from God.

Would you baptize your kid 500 euros?

Quote:500 Euro per capita bonus for each person being baptized

Peter Löw, a self-made millionaire from Starnberg, donates to parents in the parish who are having their child baptized. The first family arrives at church with three children – and collects the money in cash on hand.

The Catholic parish community of Starnberg has now launched the campaign „Starnberg Guardian Angels“: Parents of children up to the age of three who have their offspring baptized in Starnberg will receive 500 euros in cash to start their Christian life.

The idea comes from Peter Löw, who has made a lot of money in countless business dealings over the past few years. The Starnberg self-made millionaire and author is a devout Catholic, a churchgoer and a father of eight. And now he wants to do good and –at least a little – save the Catholic Church: The action „Starnberg guardian angel“ is intended to encourage imitation.

A per capita premium for Catholic baptisms? That's not how parish priest Andreas Jall wants the action to be understood. „We get nothing out of it“, he insists. Nevertheless, he expressly welcomes Löw's donation, because raising children in general and baptism in particular have increasingly become a matter of cost. Jall also sees the baptismal bonus as an advertising measure for the Catholic Church. „But it shouldn't come across as us shopping for believers here“, says the pastor. For him, families and children are the future; the Starnberg parish community is merely a mediator in the gift-giving campaign.

Good faith is generally not available at no cost to Christians. This is especially known to people who are liable for taxes: Eight percent of the income tax goes to the church. In economically tense times, this may also be one of the reasons why more and more believers are turning away: In 2025, 307,117 people nationwide left the Catholic Church. Including deaths, the total number of Catholics fell by about 550,000 to around 19.22 million members. That's only 23 percent of the total population. In Starnberg, too, the church community shrank by a thousand people within ten years to its current 7000 members, reports Jall. Thinking about the future: having young talent certainly can't hurt.

Löw is providing a total of 20,000 euros for the campaign „Starnberg guardian angel“. The offer is valid until 31. December for the first 40 children. The patron wants to give each family 500 euros for their child's baptism –albeit with limited reach: In order to set the right priorities and prevent „baptismal tourism“, the children must be no more than three years old and must be registered in the Catholic parish community of Starnberg; this includes Starnberg, Söcking, Hanfeld, Perchting, Hadorf and Landstetten. Protestant members of the faith are excluded, as are Catholics living in Percha or Wangen.

Fr. Ripperger is right: ‘Asmodeus is the demon of homosexuality in men’

World famous American Catholic priest, theologian, and exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger stated unequivocally to podcast host Shawn Ryan that “Asmodeus is the demon of homosexuality in men.”

“The Archangel Raphael is one of the nemeses of Asmodeus who is the demon of homosexuality in men. He’s also a demon of impurity,” Ripperger said.

Asmodeus killed each of the seven husbands of Sarah, the beautiful daughter of Raguel of Ecbatana, on their wedding nights before their marriages could be consummated. St. Raphael aided Sarah and her new husband, Tobias, by driving Asmodeus into the desert of Egypt, far away from the newlywed couple.

“And so you can ask St. Raphael — if you’re dealing with that particular demon (homosexuality) — to be the one to help you,” Ripperger said.

The now firmly ensconced LGBTQ establishment has settled on “born that way” because it has allowed gay activists to argue for constitutional protections based on an immutable characteristic, albeit a contrived one. It allows homosexuals to endlessly portray themselves as victims. It has also allowed them to argue that they have a right to parenthood via surrogacy or adoption because by nature their relationships our 100% sterile.

Satan has been scoring one coup after another over the past century via the sexual revolution, and perhaps his greatest stealth weapon in our current age is homosexuality.

Satan has taken same-sex attraction and fashioned it into a weapon of mass destruction against the Church. We may not hear explosions, but we see the carnage. The problem is that we have grown accustomed to the carnage and accepted it as ordinary, never questioning its actual source.

A “gay” man is never alone: He keeps company with his demons.

Asmodeus and his minions are here, fanning perverse passions into flames, making images and fantasies alluring, and inflaming related emotions such as loneliness or inferiority in order to drive us back again and again to the perversion that grips us.

I am not talking about possession. I am, however, talking about a type of enslavement.

Every morning I pray the following prayer for the same-sex attracted, including a few hundred men I mention by name. It’s a bold ask of God and his angels, but it is one I am confident God put on my heart several years ago:

Archangels Saint Michael, Saint Raphael, and Saint Gabriel, I humbly implore you:

Amass a powerful army of the Guardian Angels who watch over each one of us same-sex attracted men. Summon the entire heavenly court to engage their forces in this fierce battle against the powers of hell, the demonic legions of PRIDE who hold many of us hostage.

I have no problem with these nutters attempting to ‘pray the gay away’. It’s doomed to fail, and it beats the hell out of driving a car into a Pride event.

I have wonder, though, which member of the Infernal Host is in charge of lesbians. 🤣

You know how it is: a priest claims that gay people are possessed by demons and then, surprise-surprise, someone rams a car into them or opens fire in a gay bar.
