'Evil is being defeated by God': Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope's death

This made me laugh incredibly hard, so had to cross post it.
Y'all would have killed Jesus.
fun fact... killing jesus was always god's plan. god set adam and eve up in the garden specifically so he could LARP as a Nice Guy™. In fact, not killing jesus would have condemned humanity to eternal suffering, and therefore would have been sin. Not that anyone had a choice, because it's all part of god's plan, right, and god's plan always comes to fruition.
If you believe in that sort of thing.
"Never forget in the story of Jesus, the hero was killed by the state" - Killer Mike.
Jesus, who came back from the dead? Like a zombie? Zombie Jesus is lord. I worship a zombie cult? I need to rethink my life.
Well he was from Palestine and had a darker complexion so most likely.
Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?
She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.
Heretic!
Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.
"Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."
Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence. That's different than being kind to them.
I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically
80% of the conclave was appointed by the Pope. I doubt it's gonnabe a radical chnge in the Vatican.
Do you seriously think the Vatican is influenced by MAGA? Or by European far-right elements for that matter?
It's no coincidence, no outlier, that the last one was slightly more tolerant on certain issues. (Apparently enough to piss off more than one US christofascist.) I fear MTG will not see God's plan in whatever follows, either.
Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals, and I find it unlikely he'd appoint someone so ready to buddy with fascism, so we will likely still have a liberal pope.
Hopefully one that pisses hateful bigots like her off even more.

Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals so more than likely we will get another woke pope. Hopefully this one is even woker.
But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.
I've been reading up on the front-runners for Pope and some of them are super old school illiberal. Though the fellow from Ghana does apparently concede that the laws on homosexuality in some African countries are a bit harsh.

This is the result of 40 years of Jerry Springer, Judge Judy, Rush Limbaugh, and all the other Right Wing Grifters that followed.
They know the lowest of us love cruelty as comedy.
And for some odd reason they are ALL avid voters.
Because they want to belong to "The Team."
Let's not forget Alex Jones, still holding on with this bare teeth claiming "The State" is after him. (heard a curated interview with Fucker Carlson yesterday, what a cringefest)
My god did Vance kill the Pope!
How dare you insinuate that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE, there isnt a single shred of evidence that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE. Id like to see anyone claiming or even hinting that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE take their evidence straight to Interpol so that it can be disproven categorically by trained experts that JD VANCE KILLED THE POPE.
The poor pontiff wasn't used to being face-to-face with that level of evil and egotism. And he didn't think Vance would try to strangle him: "A message from Ratzinger! Bwahaha!"
Is this what a good Christian sounds like?
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that's why they're Satanists
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
Good literate and understanding Christians know how to read the Bible and understand it is fiction storytelling, as is clearly spelled out. It is not a non-fiction history book. It is science fiction storytelling, very inspiring, like George Lucas Star Wars inspires people.
No, Good Christians know God made Evil and that’s why they’re Satanists
In the Bible storytelling, verse Romans 11:32 - www.Romans1132.org website I created to educate people on this topic - you will see it is plain as day that the story character "God" is the origin of all sins and that all sin is forgiven with mercy.
But ideas beyond Twitter-length mockery and mocking take a little more effort than snark and insults.
The Tower of Babel metaphor of humanity is one of the most important concepts in understanding why people behave the way they do over language usage and differences in interpretation. I created a Lemmy community for you @DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social so you can better understand the complexity problems of diverse use of human languages in writing and verbal, electric media communications / media ecology study, and even body languages.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated following the death of Pope Francis on Monday.
I was born in Columbus Georgia and my brother Jeff lives in Georgia currently. There is a serious problem with Bible Literacy. I created a Mastodon electric media platform hashtag hashtag Bible Literacy Crisis on the topic.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr was a world-famous preacher in Georgia. We should be helping her better understand how to comprehend the imported Levant Bible storybook and not just using social machines to mock and dehumanize Marjorie Taylor Greene.

"The Baptist Georgia governor won a majority of evangelical Christian voters in the 1976 presidential election. Next time around, those voters had changed sides—for the long haul." ... "Before this sustained propaganda barrage, however, many of those questions had not yet acquired any hard-line partisan or denominational coloration—indeed, in 1973, when the US Supreme Court handed down its decision sanctioning the individual right to abortion, Roe v. Wade, Carter’s own Southern Baptist conference issued a statement supporting the ruling. Instead, Carter became vilified among religious conservatives for several specific policy decisions."
It's what a seven-degrees-of-schism fundie evangelical heretic sounds like.
I'm sory, did you just call the fucking Pope evil?
I guess she’s gotta be right at least once
Francis wasn't evil
And this pope was one of the least evil!
Oh face of evil,
Oh Marjorie Trailer Queen,
The evil you know,
Is the evil you've seen.
Oh face of spite,
A reflection so mean,
The ugliest sight,
Is the one you preen.
Oh face of shame,
A soul so obscene,
The monster you blame,
Is the one you’ve been.
now, all you motherfuckers, i wanna hear you scream!!!!
at least, that's how i'd have ended it
These people are crazy. Even if you think that, keep it to yourself.
I hate mtg but you sound like the people who wanted all the Irish to be nice when Thatcher died. I’m an aboriginal person, and survivor of child sexually abuse, i will dance on the grave of the pope who defended and shielded pedos, and I will look at news of his death and say GOOD. And if you think that’s not nice:
Your mom and I both think you're cool.
If it were true that God defeats evil, Empty Greene would be a smouldering pile of ashes at a crossroads by now.
Karma is what we make it. The world don't care.
They really hated him because he was a little more tolerant of minorities.
She hated him because he was at least a little ok with some LGBT.
I hated him for being the leader of one of the biggest, most corrupt organizations ever to exist on the planet.
We are (fucking definitely) not the same.
So…. The pope is evil? Did he do a woke?
He demanded compassion
Seems unlikely they'll puff the pope smoke to select anyone who could bother Trump by demonstrating the weakness of empathy, but I would be glad to be proven wrong.
Honestly she is probably jealous
He shielded child rapists, so yes evil. But that's not mtg's reason.
This fucking removed.
Vultures.
It's an alt-right social media trend: descend on the dead before they're even cold.
That said, MTG is still dumb as bricks. Says a lot about MAGA, what type of women they bring forth. Sorry if that sounds sexist - or if, the sexism is not mine.
A smart woman tends not to advance the cause of misogyny no. They kinda don't wanna end up like that chick from Handmaid's Tale who got reading banned for her gender and now she's bored.
If God exists, then why does he destroy the faith of millions by allowing MTG to live?
MTGs existence might be the strongest argument against a caring god.
Magic the gathering is not that evil. Is it?
You could also argue that this was a very old man. Is god asleep at the wheel?
Maybe god is like Santa
Everyone knows Santa favors the rich kids
God helps those who help themselves. (Tee hee)
The people in the white house are talking more and more like gaudy villains from 90's anime.
Classy as always. MAGA is a movement of societal breakdown.
They're human termites. Fun fact: termites actively cultivate dry rot.
Americans - is the consensus of MTG that she actually believes the grift? Obviously the likes of Vance just say whatever wins the room, but she always gave me the impression that she believes every word of maniacal conspiracy she tweets.
She's a woman that has learned that she can get away with anything, as long as she behaves badly enough. She doesn't need to believe it, though she probably does, she knows that is a strategy that works to avoid consequences.
Not that i believe in heaven or hell but if they did exist im pretty sure the pope gonna be aight
Imagine the fun the world will have making jokes when this vapid bint exits the mortal realm.
Has anyone thought to test her for rabies yet?
How would you get close enough without being bitten?
I would disguise myself as a book.
She's up for reelection Nov 3, 2026.
That's even worse than most of the shit Donald Trump says. Does this mean she's running for president?
Everytime this howler monkey talks i feel like it needs to be muzzled.
(Once in a while, I start a joke only to realize it'll take 4 or 5 interactions for the punchline to not involve the FBI knocking on my door with a battering ram. Don't have the patience for it at this moment.)
MTG very obviously doesn't really believe in the religion she claims to follow.
I mean, even without the political angle she'd still say this. She's not Catholic so the concept of a pope is already blasphemous. Christians warring amongst themselves is normal.
I'm pretty sure she lost all respect a long time ago
