I'm shocked that you would suspect Erika Kirk of lying, when she is the most honest grifter who has been widowed in America in the last 12 months.

I once read a comic strip in which someone made tea using multiple tea bags and coffee instead of hot water because they needed to stay awake.
"Why are the lights suddenly flickering so much?"
"That's you blinking."
Maybe even more powerful stimulants?

I guess we're fast-tracking the beatification.

That or Charlie's trapped in the Upside Down.
He'd fail the official, canonized version. He was religious just not the right type of religious. God has standards.

Many of his followers seem to consider him some kind of saint, although probably not in the Catholic sense because yes, Catholic sainthood is a Catholics-only thing. The Catholics did make that kind a saint who made a bunch of websites, so a podcaster might clear at least that bar. From Day One Charlie Kirk's grieving fans were saying Kirk was up in heaven golfing with Jesus or whatever. But now we're getting the claims of postmortem miracles that typically accompany the process of Catholic sainthood even if he's not eligible. Trying to make him some kind of God-approved religious martyr glosses over the problem of his toxic politics.

[Sniffle, then hold handkerchief to eye]
—Teleprompter, probably
The early church (especially the first 5 centuries, it sez here) recognized sainthood by popular acclamation,
probably because it had no choice. The sainting business came to be a Church monopoly in later times, and
supposedly is a rigidly fixed process.
But, as you would expect, the Pope, as Head Holy Joe, can bypass all the riggamajig and declare
("recognize") anybody a saint if he wants to. The existence of an established cult can be cited as a
reason -- not that the HHJ owes you any explanation.
Well! If enough influential Catholics organize sufficient numbers of followers
who'll raise their voices, why shouldn't Charlie Krick, Protestant though he
was, enter the calendar of saints? He could be made Patron of -- Oh, I don't
know, pigstickers? aluminum siding salesmen?
You guys decide. By acclamation.

There you go, persecuting Christians. Christians have such a hard time in America without all you people obviously hating on them.

Jesus hugging Kid Rock seems unlikely but I'll let it go, but Tfump reading a book? They're taking the piss!

I dunno. A pic of Old Man Rock enjoying a hug from a long haired leftist male doesn't seem to illustrate the message they hoped it would.

Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I have no problem with Israel, their people, or the religion (or Jewish folks et. al.), but I'm definitely not a big fan of their government.

I'm not a religious person, but I don't like pretend Christians who don't follow the 2nd greatest commandment (Matthew 22:38), or the Golden Rule as it's known.
Love thy neighbor as yourself.
I actually took a history of religion class in high school, which ironically was parochial, and as far as I remember, that's the one common tenet of all major religions.
Although, I don't really subscribe to the whole turn the other cheek thing, especially when it comes to the fat clown and his stupid maga weirdoes.
Hell (pun intended), even Satanism has a kind of similar tenet, at least according to the Satanic Bible, but I'll have to look it up just to make sure).
I'm not perfect, but I do at least try to follow that one. Everything else is just plain BS in my opinion.
But as always, your mileage may vary of course.
Anyway, sorry for the sidetrack.
ETA: Of the eleven commandments in the Satanic Bible (written by Anton Szandor LaVey), this may be the only one that doesn't subscribe to that tenet:
4) If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
But this one does kind of subscribe to it:
3) When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
Although I do find the whole "lair" thing kind of funny.
Anyway, once again, sorry for the sidetrack.

Does anyone else think "Kid Rock" is just another name for Epstein Island?
Not being a Christian, I won't tell Christians how to react to that picture. But as a non-Christian looking for Christians to message to me in the way they deem effective, that picture makes me wanna barf. This is not how to convince other people you have a serious religion.

I'm confused. Who's the white hippie with the beard and the dress that Trump is marrying to Kid Rock?
