        Partly, but also because they’re chauvinistic about their religion and think Catholics aren’t Christian. Even at their best they practice sola scriptura and disagree with Catholics on interpretation, therefore they assume Catholics don’t actually understand the bible. Meanwhile Catholics look at them confused as to how anyone can read that thing, reject all context snd traditional interpretation, and come away believing every word is literally true and that they have an unerring understanding of it, much less without the graduate degree in the topic priests need.

    The trump bible is like all the folders full of “plans” he presented to the press. Official looking covers with nothing but empty pages between them.

      Personally, I prefer Pope Bob.

      Has a folksy ring to it that’s delightfully incompatible with the whole Vatican ridiculousness 😁

      No. It’s just non believers being cynical and power hungry as usual. If you believe in god, hell is waiting for them. That’s literally the ONLY thing that keeps me having any kind of faith these days.

        Oof, I take it you’ve never really done an educated deep dive into the Bible then. Both Old and New Testaments demonstrate a very imoral monster at the helm who promotes injustice left and right. If anything, Trump isn’t far off with his horrible treatment of women and minorities.

        I think what people end up doing is just assuming “chistian” is a synonym for “good” when the foundation of the religion is many of the evils we got rid of in the last hundred years.

    Dallas-area megachurch pastor

    Well there’s your problem. These guys know as much about the Bible as Trump.

      Once you put “mega” in there, is there such a thing as a legitimate “pastor/priest”?
