OMG, the level is stupidity I have to see, actually makes me cry. After the thread I wrote yesterday, I yet again see this warrior Jesus people use to justify war and violence. They quote Jesus from Revelation with a sword. They think it’s an actual sword 😭😭🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️.

They post Knights Templar images as religious justification for war often point to Revelation 19 because it depicts Jesus as a "Conquering King" rather than the "Suffering Servant" seen in the Gospels. The crusades and the Knights Templar were pillaging and murdering

for power and using God’s name to justify it. They focus on the imagery of Jesus leading heavenly armies and "making war" to frame their own earthly battles as divinely sanctioned. They interpret "divine judgment" as a mandate for human execution, essentially claiming they are

You know, America “Christianity” never fails to show its complete lack on Biblical knowledge.
MAGA, of course are attacking the Pope in favour of Trump.
The pope actually used one of strongest biblical arguments for God’s rejection of war waging prayers. And “Christians” just

don’t get it. America might be the most biblical illiterate countries in the world. They don’t even understand the basic difference between divine judgement and human violence. The pope used Isaiah 15, which states that God "does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war".

Yet, these illiterate “Christians” are accusing the Pope of not understanding biblical scripture. The Pope argues that Jesus is the "King of Peace" who cannot be used to justify war. If a leader's actions involve "atrocious violence," the biblical precedent suggests their

This might be a long post. I am so tired of seeing these supposed “Christians” posting Romans 13:1. Even more so to persuade Americans to go to war.
All they do is post this. But they have no understanding of it or its context. I mean FFS, it was written by Paul. A man who

disobeyed authority in the Bible. This quote, Christian nationalists use because if you obey your government, you are obeying God. They only post it when a Republican President is in office, but this isn’t a post about their hypocrisy.
Quoting a single verse is useless. You have

to know the broader context. I was raised Christian and I know the context. My family didn’t just find convenient passages to match their lives.
When Paul the Apostle wrote this, Christians were a small, vulnerable group and the Roman Empire was in power.
This message was

People who have followed me long enough know that I was sexually abused as a child. Physical abuse assures silence.
It destroys innocence. Removes a childhood and sets you down a road of self-destruction.
Some of us, seek help early. I was in my early twenties when I first

saw a therapist.
I was 7 when it started. You don’t know what’s happening to you. But, because of it I have always known evil exists. And children are not protected. Sometimes parents are too self-involved to recognise changes in behaviour of their own child. Then to live in

a world that spends more time being outraged by LGBTQ issues than the abuse of children.
Even when it comes out that priests and pastors and youth pastors have been abusing children. Those institutions still stand.

I want to say something personal.
I’ve been watching the monks on this from the very beginning.
Every day. Every mile.
And I think I know why it’s moved me so deeply.
I have resisted Trump and what he represents for nearly ten years now — not just politically, but morally.

The constant inversion of truth and lies.
Cruelty dressed up as strength.
Fear presented as patriotism.
Hope ridiculed as weakness.
That does something to you over time.
I am, by nature, a peaceful and hopeful person. Or at least I was.

And over these last ten years, I’ve felt peace shrink.
I’ve felt hope dim.
Not disappear — but become harder to hold onto.
Watching these monks walk has helped me remember something I was starting to lose.
That peace is still possible.
That gentleness still exists.

I have analyzed the current trajectory of the United States regarding its withdrawal from the post-1945 collective security framework. The data indicates a significant shift in the planet's geopolitical equilibrium.

Following the second global conflict of the 20th century, Earth established a network of alliances intended to mitigate systemic violence. The logic was sound: collective stability serves the long-term survival of the species. However, the American administration has now

categorized these stabilization protocols as "of no importance." This is a notable departure from rational long-term planning.

A "Superpower" is defined by its ability to project influence across all sectors of the globe. By retracting into an isolationist posture, the
