God needs to know who's on the Epstein list?

Jesus loves the little children... all the children of the world....

Fundies think they can force God to do something.

If God existed, he'd be smacking them down hard for this level of arrogance.

Dang they truly believe US is the center of the world. Is absolutely baffling.

Isn't the Daily Star basically a tabloid, or am I thinking of something with a similar name?

It's also cute that right wing Christians think they'd be raptured since Jesus would be returning to, in part, punish the shit out of them.

The Star is somewhere between The Sun (a Rupert Murdoch spec tabloid rag with a "publish first, verify sources later" approach) and The Sport (contrary to its name, is less about the development and performance of elite ball games, and more about substituting the journalism with as much softcore pornography as possible).

Admittedly, the Star is highly entertaining - like the "nottheonion" comm in print form, with an approach more like a magazine than a newspaper. It's usually a fraction cheaper than most of the major tabloids too.

If only prayer worked. I bet we could get a lot of people to ask God to take all his people ASAP even if we never get to see the Epstein file. The world would be a better place.

They're so fucking self-important.

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Theyre not going to be in the rolls anyway

The rapture happened, unfortunately the only guy they pulled up because he didn't follow proper procedures and suit up, so he's a stiff now. Still legally fulfilled according to celestial law.
