#Heresy

I should’ve also tagged this with #classwar - since MAGA Christian Nationalism is a profane inversion of “blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth”.

it’s a movement to transfer even more money & power to the sadistic hogs currently hoarding wealth & depriving 99% of humanity of basic resources for life & conviviality.

“The man arrested, Vance Luther Boelter, 57, held deeply religious and politically conservative views.”


look it’s a big tangent from the main thrust of the article, but I’m not sure “deeply religious” is a good descriptor here, at least as it’s colloquially understood — which is in reference to the Christian religion.

The beliefs & views of MAGA “conservatives” bear almost no similarity to the longer tradition of Christianity - it’s an idolatrous (& frankly heretical) sect that’s been cultivated for decades to bolster a far-right authoritarian fascist movement.

The “Jesus” depicted in the Bible would almost definitely be repulsed by & condemn its adherents.

The image is a meme divided into two sections, each with two panels. The top section is titled "How heresy is depicted in fiction," and the bottom section is titled "How heresy was in reality."

In the top section, the left panel shows a character with a smug expression, saying, "God isn't real, I hate the Church, I worship Satan." The right panel depicts another character with a shocked expression, shouting, "Nooooo you're an heretic, burn! Christ is Lord!"

In the bottom section, the left panel shows a character with a neutral expression, stating, "So, I don't really agree that the Holy Trinity is made of three different entities, but rather they are only forms of the Father. Also, I hate the Church (corrupt freaks)." The right panel features a character with a sinister grin, saying, "No worries, you were just a political adversary anyway. I'm definitely going to confiscate your belongings and make you abjure your faith, lest you get burned on the stake."

The meme humorously contrasts the stereotypical portrayal of heresy in fiction with a more nuanced and historically accurate depiction of how heresy was treated in reality.

Some #theological hills I am willing to die on:
1) The plenary inspiration of #scripture
2) At bare minimum, adherence to the #doctrines proclaimed by the first four Councils of the undivided #church must be upheld.
3) The #eucharist / #lordssupper ought to be celebrated *weekly*.
4) The #eucharist / #lordssupper , while symbolic, is not merely symbolic but also a true/real encounter/communion with Jesus.
5) #Baptism *must* be done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
6) Baptism is #regenerative
7) #Liturgical #worship is essential because the #bible itself reveals the Church’s worship as liturgical.
8) The #unity of the Church is not merely a spiritual reality (i.e. invisible), but a reality that ought to be visible for all the world to see.
9) Except in the cases of #heresy or wholesale unrepentant #sin within a portion of the Church, rending the Church’s unity is sinful. (So, disagreements over adiaphora are not worthy of division -- no matter how much one love's their pet theological theory)
10) All #christians must pray for and actively work towards and for the reunification of the Church.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

It is contended by many that ours is a Christian government, founded upon the Bible, and that all who look upon the book as false or foolish are destroying the foundation of our country. The truth is, our government is not founded upon the rights of gods, but upon the rights of men. Our Constitution was framed, not to declare and uphold the deity of Christ, but the sacredness of humanity. Ours is the first government made by the people and for the people. It is the only nation with which the gods have had nothing to do. And yet there are some judges dishonest and cowardly enough to solemnly decide that this is a Christian country, and that our free institutions are based upon the infamous laws of Jehovah.

While #Trump insisted he did not know about the image of himself as #pope, it was posted by the White House on X & by HIS OWN Truth Social account, which has shared several apparently AI-generated images.

Asked by reporters last week who he would like to be pope, Trump first made the joke that he was his own “No. 1” choice. He then referred to Cardinal Dolan as “a very good” option. (Dolan is not a likely candidate.)

Umm. There’s proof he did just that. ↑

#Trump said he had “nothing to do with” an image depicting him as the #pope that was posted by his & the White House social media accounts, drawing criticism from #Catholics around the globe. Trump, who previously told reporters that he was his own “No. 1” choice to be the next pope, insisted on Monday, “The Catholics loved it.”

#Catholic leaders & at least one US Catholic group are criticizing #Trump after he posted on social media what appears to be an artificial intelligence-generated image of himself as the #pope.

Trump posted the image on his Truth Social account on Friday night, & shortly after it was reposted by the White House on its official X account.

Arla claims their "Skyr" is made in the Icelandic tradition.

How angry will Icelanders be to learn that their tradition involves diluting skyr with water and starch?

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll

A trial for heresy means that the spirit of persecution still lingers in the church; that it still denies the right of private judgment; that it still thinks more of creed than truth, and that it is still determined to prevent the intellectual growth of man. It means that churches are shambles in which are bought and sold the souls of men. It means that the church is still guilty of the barbarity of opposing thought with force. It means that if it had the power, the mental horizon would be bounded by a creed; that it would bring again the whips and chains and dungeon keys, the rack and fagot of the past.

There are no historical documents within mainstream #Christianity that support the idea of the Holy Spirit being plural.

While early theological debates explored various interpretations of God’s nature, these discussions did not suggesting plurality within any single Person of the Trinity.

Nontrinitarian views exist but generally reject the Trinity altogether rather than proposing a plural Holy Spirit.

There I was, the #heresiarch in #heresy.
