really, I'm not

So "The Ancient One" is still going on this thread.

Posting several Bible verses to "prove" his point.

He says Christianity is evil.

He says that he thinks Jesus is really the devil.

He quotes Christian scriptures as an authority.

Does he believe the Bible is evil or not? I might quote a book I thought was evil to point out its evil but he's quoting it as authoritative.

And that's also the thing! It theoretically has two (2) cool as fuck grandmas, but turbo granny gets trapped in a maneki neko statue to become the show's little marketable comic relief creature, and seiko looks like this

This is how it starts. One neighbourhood. One suburb. One city. One state.

The Statue of Liberty 🗽 is a representation of Mithraism which is linked to “lucifer” as the “god” of light and liberty.

Which links back to the black sun.

The black sun is saturn. 🪐

Which is also the cube they worship in mecca 🕋 👇

The statue of Liberty is a representation of Libertas, the Roman goddess of Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty was designed by Frederick A. Bartholdi, a Freemason. The Grand Lodge of New York laid the cornerstone with masonic ceremonies.

You can call me crazy and insist i must be some nutcase devil worshipper for not worshipping satan which is an oxymoron…..

but i do not accept anything from satan if thats who you’re dedicating your energy and soul to. Don’t waste your time “praying” to satan for me. I’m good.

You think Christians are evil. That's why I call you nuts.

You're convinced that Jesus is secretly the devil. That's why I call you nuts.

You think random bits of abstract geometric form posing as art are proof of some evil conspiracy. That's bad art, but it's not evil. Nor is it proof of anything except the existence of bad artists. That's why I call you nuts.

You seem to think the actual planet Saturn is also the devil. That's why I call you nuts.

Why are you even here surrounded by a group that's at least half Christians and a fair few Jews (who you also think are evil). Aren't you afraid we're going to give you "Saturn Cooties" or something?

Just saying.

Saturn Cooties...

But "let's name our project a very deceptive name that sounds extreme and simple, and then condescend to people when they ask what is up with that" is the very definition of a political own goal.

Either way @bambamramfan you might want to start caring because that society doesn't look anything like you think it will.

Let's think for a moment. And for this thought experiment, we'll forget about what effect prison abolition will have on the victims of criminals and think about what will happen to the criminals themselves if their victims no longer trust the government to serve justice.

For instance, what do you think the reaction of an average American will be if all a 911 call for burglary brings is an overworked social worker and no actual help?

That's right. He will forget about the 911 call, shoot the burglar and bury him in a shallow grave.

What happens to a criminal who murders or rapes someone and the government flatly refuses to punish him?

If you guessed that he would be hunted down and killed, then you have guessed correctly.

As usual with TikTok comment sections, there’s a ton of antisemitic bullshit, but I want to point out this comment because I see it a lot, especially from younger fans.

Saying religion is stupid or illogical isn’t the take you think it is. Suggesting that the only way Bruce is a smart person/leader is because he’s atheist is ridiculous. Implying that Bruce’s Judaism is only valid when he maintains atheism at all times? Rude as hell. Suggesting that his atheism is only valid if/when he rebukes religion as a whole? Lame tbh.

There seems to be a reluctance to exercise nuance in these discussions. Like you guys understand that insulting religion isn’t edgy, right? People who are religious are not automatically stupid or less morally superior than you.

A good portion of the time, people are projecting from their own negative experiences with Christianity, and that’s a valid feeling but not one to project onto other people. And especially not lumping all religion into “well it all sucks and I’m smarter than them anyways.”

Religiosity is a spectrum, observances vary, and those deserve if not respect, then neutrality from others.

Bruce’s character requires thought and consideration (and research) to view from a religious angle. What he represents in these implied moments from DC says something. Judaism has a strong tradition of memory when it comes to loved ones — routines, prayers, traditions — and that fits well with Bruce’s traumatic past and focus on his parents deaths and keeping their vision alive. At the same time, he represents (when suggested/implied Jewish) a unique experience of halachic Jews disconnected from the diaspora. He is an excellent example of how religion, ethnicity, and identity change what it means to be Jewish, not Jewish, etc. it’s a work in progress when it does appear, but it’s a lot more than just “he lights a menorah and never talks about religion EVER.”

In DC, hell and angels and Lucifer exist

And they're not products of the dreaming as other gods are!

Harley Quinn has been in hell

John Constantine deals with demons and angels on the regular
