If Satan were real, he'd make a gold-painted express lane just for him.

He’s just fucking saying this to get in good graces with the Christian idiots to make himself look like he’s more repentant than he is. It’s all to win back hearts because of Epstein being pervasive.

This is a level of self recognition beyond what I thought he was capable of. Perhaps it is terminal lucidity kicking in. I hope he is suffering.

I'm gonna go on a limb and say that if that dude gets into heaven, they've got some super low standards. I mean, 2am drunkard with full-on coke bottle glasses low.

All these really good people coming in behind him saying "Wait, HE'S here? Why the fuck did I behave myself all these years? I could have gotten laid 1000 more times, but NOOOO, I have to remain faithful to my wife, and protect my mortal soul, and I end up in the same place as HIM? JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!"

"Can I help you?"

"Oh, no, I'm sorry, I wasn't calling you, I was using your name on vain, Sorry."

"Yeah, you might wanna watch that, we take that one kind of seriously around here."

I'm sure he's probably trolling again. But I do enjoy the thought of him having a small glimpse of clarity about what a piece of shit he's been his whole life. Full clarity from a narcissist like that would be too much to ask. If he ever saw himself clearly for even a second, he would never stop throwing up.

Are you there God? It's me, Margaret. You wanna do the funniest thing ever?

But nah. He probably just got reminded that he wasn't made the new pope and is now angry that christianity hates him and wants his evangelical base to stroke his... ego.

another news outlet falls for and prints another distraction.

[-] Nico_198X@europe.pub 5 points 2 months ago

uh, then how about you repent and do something GOOD with the PHENOMENAL POWER you've been UNJUSTLY GIVEN?!?!?!

[-] QuantumTickle@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

I wish he'd seek forgiveness and make amends while he was still alive. You know... Because there is no god.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

This reminds me of a comedy bit where a guy gets to heaven and Hitlers there and Hitler goes “I know, I’m just as surprised as you are”

[-] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

His existence is already proof of a sinister creator or lack thereof. If there were a heaven, they would not let one of the worst human beings alive this millennium.

[-] Randomgal@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago

At least the knows

Who didn't treat the sorjourner as their own?

For a male at age 79 it’s easy to wake up one day - dead.
