      God has been the primary reason for war for most of history. More specifically, Abrahmic Gods, whose supporters always fight unholy wars with dirty tactics.

      Why wasn’t he so vocal when Iran’s terrorist regime was killing thousands of protesters? Or why doesn’t he make speeches when Russia destroys Ukranian apartment buildings?

      And God doesn’t put someone through eternal flame just because that person doesn’t believe in Him. Why does He need to? He’s infinity. He is and has everything. He’s self-satisfied.

      **Deuteronomy 20:1–4**

      “Do not be afraid… for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”

      **1 Samuel 15:3**

      “Now go, attack the Amalekites…”

      **Judges 7:7**

      7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

      God absolutely picks sides. Usually, but not always Israel. At least if you go by the bible.

      The sentiment is nice, and it’s what we need… But is just factually untrue in any version of the bible.

      uh… so your pope is saying god doesnt bless any conflict while trump, hegseth are saying this is a war ordained by god? what christian god says conflicting views on a single thing?

    9. balooaroos on

      Oh really? Wonder when God’s official stance on that changed becuse he certainly used to. It’s in your own Bible ya silly duck.

      „But in the cities of these peoples that the LORD, your God, is giving you as a heritage, you shall not leave a single soul alive. You must put them all under the ban—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites—just as the LORD, your God, has commanded you“

      „The LORD anointed you king of Israel and sent you on a mission, saying: Go and put the sinful Amalekites under a ban of destruction. Fight against them until you have exterminated them.“

      I’m happy the pope takes a stand against Trump, but yeah… “Happy is the one who seizes your infants, and dashes them against the rocks” and all that. Old Testament God wants a word.

      I’m pretty sure there are parts in the bible where that’s exactly what happens. 🤔

      The bipolar nature of Reddit will never cease to crack me up.

      „American Christians are so hypocritical, Christ was the Prince of Peace, so why don’t they follow the teachings of Jesus?“

      * The head of the largest (60%)  Christian denomination in the world – an American – speaks out against Trump in favor of Jesus’s teachings.

      „God loves war! He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! WAAAAHHHHHHHH!“

      Not what the fascist/antichrists propaganda says!

      The devil’s agents are actually arguing for war. In the name of God and Jesus Christ, they say.

    18. skildert on

      It’s odd how silent god was when his son trashed that one market in the temple. Silent approval?

    19. PositiveUse on

      While I get what Leo is saying, the Catholic Church is the prime example of „God blessed conflicts“. Well and all the Jihadi driven warfare but he ain’t talking about that stuff as he doesn’t like to harm any feelings.

    20. cosmicrae on

      Would the current US administration go so far as to revoke Pope Leo’s birth citizenship ? Maybe.

    21. TomatoFettuccini on

      I mean…… has he read his holy book?

      Yahweh/Jehovah/El fucking *loves* war.

    22. macross1984 on

      I kind of wonder what kind of sway a threat of excommunication have on Trump if he continue to threaten pope.

    24. Propagation931 on

      >‘God does not bless any conflict’

      That is kinda not inline with the Bible though. God has blessed and in fact commanded conflict many times in the Bible.
