Even if this is true, 2025 is a jubilee year. There will be so many pilgrims to the Vatican and donations would skyrocket
Probably the best news I’ve read so far today.
Good
Are these bastards really thinking we are going to believe their mafia like enterprise is supported by charitable donations?
Thoughts and prayers.
Wait, nope, fresh out.
Those grifters have had a good run for two millenia. As scams go, I’d say it was pretty successful - and still is, sadly.
Good for them, I guess?
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
But, but The eye of a needle was a market with a small gate and if you only had a reasonable load on your camels then they could pass through so it’s actually ok for rich people to exist /s
That cope from Conservative Christians™️ is always funny. Similar statements show up in the Talmud. A large animal passing through the eye of a needle was a common idiom in Jewish culture at the time to demonstrate impossibility.
It’s a mistranslation of “sturdy rope”, which indeed would not pass through the eye of a needle.
I wish they had just said, “look bro, I don’t even need an idiom. I’m just going to tell you. If you’re rich, you’re going to Hell. You can’t exploit people and hoard resources and be in God’s good graces at the same time. Just being rich means that you’re ok walking by misery and not helping. Bro, you can’t have it like that.”
You’d still have wealthy Christians being like “okay, but what did Jesus mean by this?”
You’re absolutely right haha.
“I flicked a nickel to a hobo today. Streets uh’ gode!”
I was expecting this exact quote. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
lol
They might need to auction off one of those reptilian skeletons they have in the secret basement.
Oh, no. Guess they’ll have to sell some of those golden trinkets they have
Just ask god for money? I mean, isn’t it omnisicent and omnipotent?
Thoughts and prayers.
Don’t just leave those laying around, something will fi-- aww damnit, too late…
It’s cool, he ain’t playing it right anyway. He won’t get famous and change the world the way he’s doing it.
Oh shiiiiiii
This is amazing, it took me a few seconds to realize that is a very tiny violin.
It’s from an electron microscope and was made via lithography IIRC
Does it give a close look at peoples choices?
Bootstraps bitches. Pull em up!
