    I hate to tell the "he gets us" people, but we can see you yelling at the most recent pope for making the suggestion christians should try to be anything like the kind loving jesus.

    Do go out there and try to tell the right wing jesus lovers that they should love everyone, even the black people, glbt people, women, and foreigners.

    do go out there and tell the right wing they should be charitable towards the born and make sure they have food, clothing, shelter, and medicine.

    Do go out there and tell people we should help lift the poor out of poverty through everyone paying a certain percentage of all their income, including the super wealthy.

    Go out and tell the right wing how jesus said you don't need to hate everyone like the old testament told you.

    Let us see where that gets you. Do not get me wrong, I would love to live in a world with people who followed the teavchings of the all loving, forgiving, jesus. I do not even care that person is imaginary if you want to try and be more like him. But his followers would string you up in a second for standing in their way to hate.

    Seriously, the jesus loving people flipped the fuck out because a black guy said policer were being too brutal to black people, and that was being ignored, so he kneeled during the national anthem during the sport you paid way too much money to advertise during. The jesus people lost their motherfucking minds because he chose to kneel which is a sign of respect when you do it to god in the church.

    Go tell this shit to your flock first. Fix your brokedick church home first, and then maybe your recruitment numbers will work themselves out.

    This is the only one I’m aware of funded by a guy who got busted for buying stolen artifacts from ISIS.

    The fact you don't just automatically assume such things when a church is dumping millions on pointless ads to groom people during pro-sports shows you are not reading enough about christian churches.

    Find me court records of other churches doing this, then. I'll wait. Sure, they all have murder, genocide, sexual assault and the like in their histories, but how many of them have been convicted in a court of law of buying stolen property from a terrorist organization? Certainly, a number of them have done so over the centuries, but how many of them have been convicted of doing so while we're actively fighting those terrorists?

    Wow, that whole post was full of your own moving of the goal posts each time you realized the church was really that bad, yet you still did not give up. I do believe that your post does more to prove my point than to prove me wrong.

    No, I am not going to get into a @Bill Carson circle jerk when you are already trying to cover for the world's most corrupt and evil entity.

    Aww, that's cute. You're telling the only person here who's actively had an anti-religion podcast for almost a decade now that he's "pro-religion." Please, tell us more of your wisdom about me.

    Because, just like him, you'll know you'll lose. And as bad as the prick behind Hobby Lobby might be, I don't think he's quite as bad as guys like Pope Frankie, simply because he doesn't have quite the money and power that Frankie does, or is part of an organization that's as large as the one Frankie oversees, but that's not exactly saying much. It's sorta like picking the worst dictator to live under. No matter who you choose, it's still a shitty situation. But just like FF, nuance isn't something you're good at.

    You need a good break from the internets and some real powerful aloe infusion for your ass. You is certainly hypersensitive today. I would love to take credit for this one, but I really have not thrown any extra hot ass into my recent commentary.

    I am actually being somewhat serious here as you are normally much more flame retardant and less clue resistant.

    Look at yourself, you are trying to defend the church of wrongdoing.

    But don't let me stop you from being the church's white knight. I would chose my mountains to die on a little more wisely.

    That you think I would ever defend a church in such circumstances (or even in most) is a clear indication that you're attention-seeking. "Oh, look at me! I'm Tererun! I'm making convoluted arguments that someone who's stridently anti-religious is actually pro-religion in spite of years of evidence to the contrary! Aren't I edgy?" No. You're boring and ordinary. You couldn't even be interesting, let alone "edgy" if you tried such a thing.

    Your commentary here is identical to FF posting some bullshit link and then complaining because people would rather point out that the link is bullshit than talk about what the link says. You can't even rustle up an argument to defend your comments. Imagine that. It's almost as if your positions aren't well-thought-out ideas, but just things you post for attention. You know, like FF and UA do.

    And once again, after posting this
    You respond, thus proving that you've got a lot of bullshit in you. Like Trump, FF, UA, and your governor, you're an endless supply of bullshit. The only question is if they will give up theirs before you do yours.

    Aww. You think you know what pain and torture is. Honey, I have, quite literally, had to hold onto a pot of molten steel at 2000+F with a third-degree burn forming on my ass. You think the shit you do when you're playing Fifty Shades of Grey involves pain? Please. My "safe word" was to stand there like a little bitch and scream at the top of my lungs for someone to take the pot from me now, because if I dropped it from the pain, there was a non-zero chance other people could be severely burned or killed. Your use of a "safe word" means somebody just needs to ease off because you're kinda uncomfortable, not that you're in a life-or-death situation, even under the best of circumstances.

    Nah. I've been laughing at furries since 1989, which is probably longer than you've played at being one. (Possibly even longer than you've been alive.)

    Oh, they integrated tough guy talk into your matrix? Can you bend rebar with your mind? Sorry, old joke only I will get. It is a little bit of lazy programming to put in the UA tough guy welder code into your programming, but I guess you are a bit different over all.

    Do you do any other tricks? Can you rot your foot off like the dayton bot?

    Nah. UA never gets anything from someone else's perspective, I do.

    Oh, I can do far worse than that. Just by posting this, I've killed your sex drive for the day. Of course, your first response will be to deny this, and claim that you're masturbating <or other sexual activity> right now, and if you do, that means I'm manipulating you. If you don't, then that means you're making a conscious effort to prove that I'm wrong. Which means that I'm manipulating you. There. How's that for cheap parlor tricks?

    Oh, now you are killing something that barely exists. WTG dude.

    Did you practice to miss the mark this badly? I have been in many sexual situations, but I rarely find the urge to participate. I have also never been bothered by that. I rarely find a partner that can be that imaginary, and really it is a bit basic. But thanks for telling me you judge things on the UA level of fucking in a brokedick jeep. That is pretty sad and small if you ask me, but then again I am not like most other people.

    Hobby Lobby appear to be the ones running the He Gets Us organization, which have had some credible accusations of stealing important artifacts in the past:

    https://www.npr.org/2023/02/06/1154...rd-he-gets-us-hobby-lobby-evangelical-billion

    Granted, Tererun could've just fucking led with that instead of her stupid Master Troll schtick, but it's not some garden variety big evangelical church shit this time around.

    I am not playing the game of prove the church funds the evil in the world every fucking time they do it. It should be, at this point, assumed. The only new info would be when the church isn't funding evil.


    So get off of it.

    I think Tuckerfan's point was that that's unusual, even by evangelical church standards, and so we shouldn't necessarily assume all churches are doing so.

    If we ought to assume that, that would undermine his response to my "why does anyone care?" question. but honestly that doesn't really matter because, well, it's still a stupid Jesus ad, and I can't bring myself to care about it even a smidge. I don't care about Jesus ads, and I don't care about Hobby Lobby ads beyond a general desire to see justice done. Like, would this thread have been started if Hobby Lobby had run an ad for itself? No. Adding Jesus into the mix doesn't make me care. And vice versa.
