How long till the episode airs

This thread pretty much sums it up to be honest.

>not being a christian in 2017

YOU are the reason why western civilization is going down the shitter. If you are not a christian then guess what? You are a fucking muslim. Don't give me the atheist crap, atheist are just muslims and jews in denial. You are the reason society is going to shit, because you can't stand on your own feet. That is why you want communism, because you want others to feed you. That is why you want social justice. This is why you support feminism. This is you love faggots, trannies and other mentally ill scum. Because you are a fucking tumblr piece of shit who denies Christianity, the one true path to save western civilization.

All non-Christians should just be banned from Sup Forums permanently. Fucking marxist muslims nigger scum.

This is also Sup Forums in a nutshell. Good game comes out, everyone waits for it, buys it, hates it on Sup Forums. Sad really, when you think about it.

is this a copypasta, never seen it before

Sup Forums never liked that show
sage

I like it a bit but it is reddit as fuck
Also atheism is objectively for fedoras. At least be agnostic, at most be agnostic theist

agreed. it's so bad even keret hated it
and that's saying something

>hating active nihlists means you have to go to church

what?

>Sup Forums now pretends to be a good christian church boy who preys to Jesus every day, confesses his sins to the priest every sunday, doesn't masturbate and has no interest in porn or premarital sex just to be contrarian
EXCUSE YOU but this has been a christian board since 2011 which is 5 years before you and most of the current userbase got here

No matter the cost

If there is no God, why should I waste one second of my finite mortal existence watching a fucking cartoon version of Doc Brown and Marty?

Someone /picklerick/ me

suck my dick

Why are you typing "/tv" instead of "me/I/my"?

>Don't give me the atheist crap, atheist are just muslims and jews in denial.

Story checks out.

Christianity is the only bulwark worldwide against Islam. Atheism is a vacuum that Islam fills, like it has over the past decades in Europe, where now female genital mutilation is reported every 2 hours in England. And Jews tend to lean atheist anyway, since finance and banking and corporatism are all essentially atheistic enterprises (although they worship money instead of God).

it's common on Sup Forums for people to say "we" or "Sup Forums" when they should really say me/I/my. I think it comes from teenagers being in junior high school and high school, and their insatiable desire to conform.

Sup Forums liked this show when it first aired, see the archives

then it got popular, and like any popular fanbase, the stupid drones start to ruin the fanbase by oversaturating the content with "theories", monetized videos, and using references from the show over and over and over and over and over as they use it in conversational pieces because they have no thoughts for themselves

>everyone who doesnt like mainsteam shit is a contrarian

k

I think Spengler wrote something about how people retreat back to religion after its expansive power has been exhausted, but that the new religiosity is just a pale imitation of its original organic growth and another symptom of its decline.

>Sup Forums's ultimate contrarianism syndrome kicks in
>he makes this thread

I know this is most likely bait but there are a lot of redditors that buy into the Christianity meme after browsing Sup Forums.
Christianity stems from Judaism, Christians still worship the Jews as the "Chosen People". It was a religion that proselytized to slaves and women in Roman times and it inherently caters to "the meek and marginalized". At the end of the day, who sacrificed millions upon millions of white lives to give Jews their own "holy land"? Christians.
Christianity has done nothing but make the white race weaker and more easily to manipulate. In modern times it is almost entirely a controlled opposition dogma used by Marxists to further divide whites between each other and to keep people in general ignorant. You don't have to be a christcuck to hate Islam.

ye keret knows his shit
no it fucking wasn't

Atheists inherently deny the power of religion though, so they tend to be the people who legitimately think ISIS is a symptom of climate change.

>Sup Forums now pretends to be a good christian church boy who preys to Jesus every day
I prey on Jesus every day hehe

>preys

*prays

>confesses his sins to the priest every sunday

that's a catholic thing, protestant religions don't do that. they simply kneel at an altar or silently repent.

also i have not and never will watch this show, but you defending the fedora dipping on display is proof enough i shouldn't.

Oh so you're JUST baiting. Good to know, carry on.

wow you literally can't fathom that someone just think this show fucking sucks, can you? it's all because we're all big bully contrarians.

PICKLE RICK

*tips bible*

I was just responding to you and your response to me really doesn't make any sense. You should probably explain yourself unless you are content arguing like an 8th grader.

i.4cdn.org/wsg/1501825171595.webm

Sup Forums didn't like Rick & Morty.
It's just that one of the great reddit migrations occurred around the time Rick & Morty came out, giving the false impression that the original Sup Forums inhabitants liked it.

Pickle Party

You act like I care what you faggots think of me. That's the cool thing about being a Christian, I never have to worry about what any of you degenerates think because I KNOW you'll be tapdancing together in Hell.

Ever notice how it's only atheists that shitpost? You just want everyone else to be as miserable as you feel daily.

Rick and morty is a dumb show. It's juvenile and unfunny. The fan base makes it terrible

>>YOU are the reason why western civilization is going down the shitter.
christians take power and everythign turns to shit and intellectualism
then they cede power to liberals who are just christians without gods
chrisitans still claim they are good guys

this is great
fuck reddit

>At the end of the day, who sacrificed millions upon millions of white lives to give Jews their own "holy land"? Christians.
What? That's not what the crusades were about. Christians especially back then notoriously were unfriendly to Jews which who they saw as Christ-Killers. They wanted Jerusalem because of its religious significance and obviously to push back The Moors who were taking a lot of control of Spain.

The modern Zionist-Christians you're talking about is a very recent movement, and their religious belief is that Jews need to be in Israel so The Jewish Messiah can come in. And depending on which Christian you ask that Jewish Messiah is either Jesus himself or the Anti-Christ.

>swagshit is behind it again
This explains everything

Christianity is the only defense against Islam. Many Muslims already believe Jesus was a prophet. A Muslim is more likely to convert to Christianity than atheism.

Christians don't have to see Jews as the "chosen people." If Judaism was true, Jesus would have stayed in Judaism, and there would be no Christians, who follow Jesus, not Judaism.

Roman leaders viewed Christianity as politically useful. Religions have lots of power to unite disparate areas & groups. The "holy land" is irrelevant.

Females need Christianity to not act like total immoral animals. The truth/falsity of Christianity is irrelevant, the usefulness of Christianity to get women to behave is what's important. Christianity didn't make Europe weaker, atheism did, since it creates a vacuum that Islam fills. Christianity is resistant to outsiders, or at least interested in converting them. But atheist liberals let their countries get overrun by foreigners lest they be seen as "racist" or "xenophobic" (as if secular Ten Commandments). And Christmas is a uniting thing, not in a consumer way, but a religious way.

I don't think most Marxists love Christianity. Although Zizek has argued that Christianity can be used to subvert the post-modern permissiveness that fuels capitalism (and leads to nihilistic shit like Rick and Morty):

electronicbookreview.com/thread/endconstruction/heretical
>As for the question of whether Žižek’s proselyztizing on behalf of the Christian legacy repeats the evangelical Right’s rhetoric: actually, his arguments tend to reference more traditional conservative thinkers. While The Puppet and the Dwarf finds Žižek admiring G.K. Chesterston’s “conceptual matrix - that of asserting the truly subversive, even revolutionary, character of orthodoxy” (35) he deploys the conservative Catholic thinker’s ideas in order to oppose the logic and the values - of postmodern permissiveness and “ordained transgression” (36) - that fuel hyper-capitalism.

I too am a Christian, my brothers. Fuck degeneracy and the atheist alt-left! And the Jews, that we also worship as the chosen people, but are evil and are pushing the degeneracy agenda in a way that totally does not invalidate and contradict my core beliefs.

This has been and continues to be an anime board since 2004

What was it in 2003?

Imagine being this spiritually untethered.

Imagine liking best girl

I'm an atheist who owns a dozen guns and thinks trannies should be able to join the military but I really fucking hate muslims, there's a nugget of truth in this post sadly. I'll take Christianity that fosters classic american values that can coexist with dudes chopping their dicks off over muslims anyday

why are rick and morty fans so autistic?

A good Christian father would never allow their daughters to show that much skin in public (in that pic on the right). Good Christians believe in modesty.

However, since Bella's dad is dead, that leaves a vacuum. And in that vacuum, liberal woman behave like total whores. Not that Christianity can survive the degenerate conformity of Hollywood either.

>Roman leaders viewed Christianity as politically useful. Religions have lots of power to unite disparate areas & groups. The "holy land" is irrelevant.
The Romans had particular disdain for Christianity. Please go try preaching this shit on /his/. Even in the time of Constantine when he made it the 'official' religion of the Empire, it was widely derided and mostly ignored -- pagan worship of the Roman gods continued in the mainstream, and even at its most influential, it was a bastardized mongrel Christianity that was convenient to the Roman ideology.

Not to mention, Constantine, the only prominent Roman that ever truly may have been Christian (though this is doubtful) according to historical record, played a large part in the crumbling of the western Empire due to his wasteful and destructive warmongering. Once he had consolidated his power, Roman military might was a shell of its former self.

it was the "in" show back in 2014-15 but is popularity has fallen after been off the air for 2 years

>different artstyle

I don't like rick and morty not because im christain but because it's not funny

Why would any Christian worship Jews when Jesus went against the Jews and was in part killed by Jews?

Why would any Christian even need the Old Testament? If Judaism was true, Jesus would practice Judaism.

Granted, many evangelical Christians in America today have a hard-on for Israel for some reason, but Christians have opposed Jews for centuries.

If anything, bashing Christianity in the US makes things better for Jews, who can freely executively produce their degenerate shows and spread their atheist liberal propaganda without any pushback by any kind of morals.

In atheistic consumerism, "‘the only drive that is really liberated is the drive to buy." And don't consider the morality or immorality of your purchases either, that would be uncomfortable!

Everything else was 2lewd or had rei on the other side

*or it had her in the plug suit holding the lance or some shit

>picking and choosing which parts of the Bible you believe
And you call yourself a Christian?
Do you consider the creation story to be invalid, or the story of Noah, or the Ten Commandments? The Jews are the chosen people and though that doesn't mean as much as it used to with Jesus' sacrifice, it is still a very important part of Christian doctrine. If you don't study Hebrew and Greek and read into the original interpretation of the scripture, you're a Christian in name only.

Genuine question to those genuinely religious, what makes you think your religion is the right one? If you'd been born elsewhere you're just as likely to be a muslim, sikh, zoroastrian etc

None of this makes any sense. Sup Forums isn't one person.

Because god enlightened me and told me that it is the correct one you stupid muslim atheist cuck.

literally same can be said for atheism. if you werent born the the west you never would have been atheist.

Why did they spend so much time on this fucking divorce? Why didn't they do ANYTHING else? Why are they treating Summer like Poochie in the Itch and Scratchy show?

If people wanted to see an artist depicting the struggles of a divorce, they could look at A FUCKING MOVIE FOR BIG PEOPLE.

>I'll take Christianity that fosters classic american values that can coexist with dudes chopping their dicks off over muslims anyday

Back it the day, Christians would say that Muslims couldn't immigrate to their countries 1) because they're not Christian. Then you get all these secular bleeding-heart liberals who just let them in, even though their culture is totally incompatible.

Maajid Nawaz says there are 4 million Muslims in the UK, 5% of the popultion. And of those, 23,000 are jihadists. And around those are sympathizers, who believe in establishing a caliphate.

And not only that, but Muslims bring stupid shit with them, like female genital mutiliation. Since 1990, the number of females in the US who have undergone or at risk of FGM has more than tripled, mainly due to immigrants, and mainly in California, New York, and Minnesota.
cnn.com/2017/05/11/health/female-genital-mutilation-fgm-explainer-trnd/index.html

FGM is not always a Muslim thing though, but it is an African thing. Over 90% of females in Somalia, Guinea, Djibouti, Egypt, Sierra Leone have had FGM. Over 80% of females in Mali, Sudan, Eritrea have had FGM. Over 70% of females in Gambia, Burkina Faso, Ethiopia have had FGM. Over 60% of females in Mauritania an Liberia have had FGM.

And one reason FGM is practiced, is because they believe that without it, women will not stay virgins, and that the female sex drive is insatiable. Which is true, if you look at any American woman. But FGM is not the answer to reign in female whorishness, Christianity has. Which is why men invented it.

Autists are less likely to believe in God. A show that regularly promotes atheism is more likely to have a greater proportion of autists in its fanbase.

I actually like rick and morty, but its just a 7/10 show.
Reddit/IMBD think its the greatest show of all time, ever made, and its just not really.
So fucking overrated.

muh millennial audience
most of them had parents who got divorced

the fans of the show has created the expectation of this show to be some kind of deep philosophical emotional show and the creators are pandering to that.

case in point, here's mine.

I don't remember that show ever being popular in Sup Forums.
And because of the retarded shilling threads and the associated spam they managed to make Sup Forums outright hostile to them.
I doubt they'll ever get a following here.

I would never have watched it if it wasn't for these outraged threads about it. It's good. I told my friends.

Immigration quotas in America have always been ethnic, not religious. They were about keeping undesirable races like the Japanese and Negros out of the country. Religion was of little concern to race.

Seneca the Younger said "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

In 312, Constantine said he had a vision and he believed he was fighting under the protection of the Christian God. In 324 at the Battle of Adrianople, both sides viewed the battle in religious terms, and the forces of Constantine rallied around the labarum, which displayed the Chi-Rho symbol from the first 2 Greek letters for the word "Christ", and it demoralized the troops of Licinius, who was defeated.

You say it was "bastardized mongrel Christianity", but you're focusing on true/false, not the usefulness of it. A religion can be false but still useful.

Slavoz Zizek wrote "it is for those who refer to "god" in a brutally direct way, perceiving themselves as instruments of his will, that everything is permitted."
abc.net.au/religion/articles/2012/04/17/3478816.htm

If you believe God is on your side, if you believe everything is God's will, Deus Vult ("God wills it"), or in Islam, Inshallah ("if God wills"), then you can justify and rationalize any and all behavior.

In the battle vs Islam, Christians can claim God is on their side. With atheism, nobody is on their side. Again, if doesn't matter if god X or Y is really on their side, only that people believe it, and work together as a group.

But without a god to rally under, atheist liberals create a maze of self-imposed political correctness to avoid harassing others and being harassed. Which is why SJWs and liberalism is practically a religion now, with its own secular commandments -- but wit no god to punish anyone, simply the mob.

You really do need to get into the mindset of the faggot atheist Redditor to understand why this show is so popular. These people have never heard of adult animation in their lifes that wasn't stuff like Family Guy, it was completely alien to them. And they can't laugh at these shows because they consider these shows stupid. They want a show that isn't necessarily smart or funny or well-written, but that appears to be to appeal to their surface-level taste. Because these people live for that mindless self-validation. They don't actually understand what makes for good writing or good comedy, nor have they ever picked a book about physics. They want to pretend they do so and circlejerk themselves, that's what matters. Rick and Morty is just perfect for its demographic: these same college-age self-important Bernouts who "fucking love science". The entire foundation of the show is built upon the dichotomy between "silly sci-fi humor and references" and " things are super deep and tragic bro". This pseudo-intellectual "nothing even matters, I'm insecure about existence, we are all going to die" bullshit that R&M shits out in almost every episode is what appeals to it's audience. The show doesn't actually have the tact to even begin to offer an interesting presentation and discussion of any philosophy, so it spouts these edgy teenage catchphrases. Nevermind the bean-headed, noodle-limbed unexpressive character design, or how the story is non-existent and only comes up when the writers beg you to feel something for these characters so devoid of substance, or how the entire show is a trendy forgettable scenario of the week memefest with just enough sci-fi references to trick kids into thinking they are smart for understanding them, or how the characters have somehow been reduced to even more obnoxious caricatures than before, none of these things matter. What matters is that it appeals to the millenial redditor audience, and that's what's selling Rick and Morty

One of the many amazing prophecies of Jesus Christ from the Old Testament is that of verse 1 from Psalm 22:

>"O God my God, look upon me: why hast thou forsaken me?"

Many people have said, "Jesus said God has forsaken him on the cross, how could he be the Messiah?"
Jesus was invoking Psalm 22 on the cross. The Psalm was wrote around 1,000 years before Christ was born.

This is significant because a few verses later in the same Psalm it says this:

>"They have pierced my hands and feet."

Some renderings have it;

>"they have torn holes in my hands and my feet"

Strange. It would appear that Jesus Christ invoked a Psalm wrote 1,000 years before He was born that seemed to tell of His very unique death, crucifixion; which did not even exist at the time Psalm 22 was wrote.

Psalm 22 goes on to say:

>"They parted my garments amongst them; and upon my vesture they cast lots."

This is another strange coincidence. It is known that the Roman soldiers gambled, or "cast lots" on Christ's garments as He was being crucified. If Christ was utterly out of His depths and defeated; why does this Psalm--that was invoked as He was in unimaginable pain--foretell of exact circumstances of the very death He was experiencing? Circumstances that no one could have known?

Not only this, Psalm 22 ends by foretelling the great rise of Christendom, which was achieved based on the very death that Christ Himself was experiencing, that the Psalm undeniably addresses:

>"All the ends of the earth shall remember, and shall be converted to the Lord: And all the kindreds of the Gentiles shall adore in his sight."

Remember, at the time of Christ, only one tribe was expecting a Messiah. This Psalm called forth by Christ on the cross predicts His death to an exactitude, and it just happens to predict the unprecedented worldwide conversion based on this death.

How do atheists explain this away?

I've seen you post this exact same on /his/

No. I don't call myself a Christian. But that doesn't stop Christianity from being useful -- to essentialy tame women and make them semi-human instead of animals. Muslims also use Islam to tame women, but Christianity doesn't have things like female genital mutilation, and honor killings, and acid attacks, and revenge rape, and stoning women.

In New Covenant Theology, it holds that the teachings of Jesus should be the the main focus in the Bible, and that the Old Testament laws were replaced with the Law of Christ. For example, in the Bible in the story of Jesus and the woman taken in adultery, Mosaic Law said adultery should be punished by stoning (note how this persists in Islam) and Jesus said let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Jesus also went against lex talionis (eye for an eye) and replaced it "turn the other cheek."

I don't care about a creation story written by Jews, or a story of Noah written by Jews, or Ten Commandments invented by Jews. Does any of that improve the behavior of Jews today? No, most Jews today don't practice Judaism, they practice hoarding wealth. That is their god. Which reminds me of the story of Jesus expelling the merchants and money changers from the Temple, which is told in all 4 canon gospels of the New Testmanet.

The problem nowadays is liberals (and atheists) coming up with "secular commandments" like political correctness, and basically labeling every worldview they don't like as racist, sexist, xenophobic, Islamophobic, transphobic, anti-Semetic, etc. Which is basically an extrapolation of Jews using the term "anti-Semitic" to wave off any and all criticism of Jews or Israel. They use an ad hominem attack to deflect arguments and criticism.

>wahhh millennials like things I don't

The Old Testament is full of prophecies proving Jesus was divine; fitting the prophecy exactly.

The fact that you don't think "they pierced my hands and feet" in the midst of describing a slow death and then that the soldiers gambled on His clothes isn't directly narrating the events on the cross is astounding.

Go and read all of psalm 22. The Old Testament also predicts Jesus would be betrayed, silent before his accusers, a sacrifice for the son of mankind, born of a virgin, born in Bethlehem, would ride into Jerusalem on an ass, would be called a Nazarene, would pray for His murderers, would be forced to drink vinegar etc... We know the dates of these texts. And we know the historical accuracy of Jesus' life and death. Jesus was the Son of God, and these verses alone prove the bible is divine.

It seems people just don't want to believe the truth.

>Genuine question to those genuinely religious, what makes you think your religion is the right one?

A religion doesn't have to be right, only useful.

It's kind of like asking "what makes you think your fork is the right one?" Surely there are snobs who will argue over the "proper" fork to use, but that's really just a game of holier-than-thou.

You're regurgitating a script.

Well, manifest destiny. Christianity has changed the world more than any other force in history.

The historical evidence for the resurrection:

Proof for the resurrection of Jesus:

The first 30 minutes is what's important from this one, the rest is questions and answers.


Ex-atheist scientist tells his story of becoming Christian after realizing that the story of creation in Genesis actually makes the most sense and gets a lot of things right compared to other religious books:
youtube.com/watch?v=dsbj7EN1Uzs


Cold case detective, former atheist analyzed the gospels using his skills and came to the conclusion that Christianity is the true religion and what is written in the New Testament is real.
youtube.com/watch?v=IQmodO2quW0
youtube.com/watch?v=DiYQzOypD9o
The videos are long, but they basically come down to this:
1. The chain of custody is sound, the story doesn't change over time.
2. There was stuff in the Bible that was later confirmed by archeology(places, people, etc.)
3. There are even non-believers' accounts of some stuff Jesus did, just from them you can know a lot about Jesus if you piece it all together.
4. The differences between gospels aren't a bad sign, because witnesses rarely agree on stuff. If every eyewitness would say the same thing, it would be very fishy and would mean they probably talked to each other at one point.
5. The apostles died without getting rich, getting a girlfriend or getting power, they all died horribly. There was no point in spreading Christianity if they didn't believe in it. Why would they risk their life if it wasn't true? Why would they risk their life if it was all forged? Why would Paul try to join this new small church?
Also the only accounts of Romans getting Christians to change their faith was after the 1st century. No account of eyewitnesses ever changing their story.

I don't want to be contrarian, I just can't see the genius everyone claims this show is. It's really funny but it's not like a few dark sci fi tropes showered with nihilism 101 and the dumbest of scientisms is anything amazing.

You're forgetting the evidence and scholars that support the story of Jesus

>His birth
>His teachings
>His followers
>His baptism
>His arrest
>His death

All without a doubt happened as the Bible states.

That all means that the multiple prophecies written (according to historical scholars) centuries before Christ was born all happen to be correct on the time, place, and person.

>let me guess: lucky guesses ayyylmao

None of that is supported by prominent "scholars"

>historical evidence
>proof
>of something that literally can't happen
I'm not saying that Jesus wasn't a real guy, and i'm not shitting on him or what he stands for, but i've just always highly doubted all the mystical/magical shit surrounding him.

>read up on multiple religions' holy books
>read up on their histories
>jews get fucked over constantly all the time and can't fight, build, or prosper for shit
>hindus and muslims are full retard tribalist even in western countries
>sikh, buddhist, and others have zero backbone and have never accomplished anything of importance
>christianity's ideas laid the groundwork for literally all of western civilization and is currently rocketing the world forward thousands of times faster than it has ever done

its not really a debate at this point. since we dont see miracles and magic today, it doesn't matter whether those things happen in reality the way they do in the bible (protip: they didnt), what matters is whether the ideas in the book cause the people who follow them to have better lives (protip: they do)

if you're not christian you're a dummy or brainwashed or a child or take your pick

Well, before whatever year, most ethnicities tended to have a majority religion. You could bet that someone from England was Christian. You could bet that someone from the Arabian Peninsula was Muslim. You could bet that someone from Africa was Muslim or animist. You could bet that someone from Japan was Buddhist or some folk religion. That's part of the cultural compatibility that people talk about when it comes to having a country. Even today, Israel is an ethno-state.

People can be unified by ethnicity, religion, many things, even just a flag. But with "hyphenization", like African-American, Asian-American, etc, race starts to overtake nationalism, and you see the rise of identity politics. And with globalization, maybe victimhood starts to overtake race. Now immigration in many places is about pity (or even white guilt, or colonial guilt). Which leads to perfectly civilized Western countries letting in savages who use razorblades to cut the clitorises off females.

>Doubt all the magical shit that surrounds him

Then you've ever really thought about it proper. Think about this, because the claim tends to slip past us unnoticed because we have heard it so often that we no longer see what it amounts to. I mean the claim to forgive sins: any sins. Now unless the speaker is God, this is really so preposterous as to be comic. We can all understand how a man forgives offences against himself. You tread on my toe and I forgive you, you steal my money and I forgive you. But what should we make of a man, himself unrobbed and untrodden on, who announced that he forgave you for treading on other men's toes and stealing other men's money? Asinine fatuity is the kindest description we should give of his conduct. Yet this is what Jesus did. He told people that their sins were forgiven, and never waited to consult all the other people whom their sins had undoubtedly injured. He unhesitatingly behaved as if He
was the party chiefly concerned, the person chiefly offended in all offences.

This makes sense only if He really was the God whose laws are broken and
whose love is wounded in every sin. In the mouth of any speaker who is not
God, these words would imply what I can only regard as a silliness and conceit
unrivalled by any other character in history.

Yet (and this is the strange, significant thing) even His enemies, when they read the Gospels, do not usually get the impression of silliness and conceit. Still less do unprejudiced readers. Christ says that He is "humble and meek" and we believe Him; not noticing that, if He were merely a man, humility and meekness are the very last characteristics we could attribute to some of His sayings.

I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not
be a great moral teacher. He would be a lunatic

Well, the miracle of the sun and the Fatima revelations both happened in the last 100 years.

Christ is still performing miracles to this day.

You can bet a Hispanic is Christian yet they'd still be barred from immigrating to the US because of their ethnicity (B-but they were Catholic, not protestant-So were the Irish, yet they were allowed to come to the US in droves). You're trying to present a false narrative. That the west was actively discriminating against immigrants based on religion when the main determinant was ethnicity. A Germany atheist would have been able to immigrate to the US whereas a protestant Negro would not.

Christcucks suck Muslim cock and are open-borders type people outside your retarded deus vult-fantasies.
