        Do you even know what the Vatican’s financial holdings look like and how they can be leveraged?

        …Know anything about JFK? The Vatican has lots of cards to play and while they don’t care about kids they do care about the structurally stability of the systems that keep them going.

    Really beautiful examples of good works of faith. They are being shot while praying, and they keep going back to pray. They are calling on love for thy neighbor and saying they still love the ICE agents at a human level. They are also suing on religious grounds of the 1st amendment.

    If you ever need a passage against this ideology of hate, see Matthew 25:32’s parable or John 13:34 to be succinct.

      Canister launcher. For tear gassing crowds but those canisters can still break bones, give concussions, or even blind or kill on direct hits.

    They’re the wrong kind of believers: the ones who are trying to do what Jesus told them to do.

      That’s like saying if you’re a Jew you’re supporting Israel’a genocide of Palestine. Which is a monumentally stupid take.

        I think you are confusing the ethnicity of being a Jew with Judaism. You can be a Jew without practicing Judaism. Or do you mean an entire race is responsible, even those that don’t practice Judaism anymore?

          I’m not confusing anything. That’s why I used it as an example of a monumentally stupid take.

          But let’s try a different analogy. Claiming that all Christians support ICE is like claiming that all Muslims support Al Qaeda.

          Those Jews who practice Judaism are also not all in favor of Netanyahu’s genocide.
