Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

    I have never agreed with Hannity before, but I have to agree with him here.

    The Bible is full of bloody mayhem, and Jesus was not a peacemaker. He promised to come back and murder everybody.

    The only people that think Jesus is a kind hippy are people who haven’t read the Bible. This image has been used by the church to dupe secular society since their fall from grace, but it’s a falsehood.

      Yup. In Jesus’ own words:

      34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.

      Matthew 10:34-36

      But also, Fuck Sean Hannity.

      When the preachers read from the bible they only choose very specific passages, and ignore any that don’t support the point they want to make.

      They know 89% of the people listening won’t ever bother to read it themselves.

      Its nothing more than simple manipulation.
