Have these people just never actually read the Bible, or something?
No but they thump it all the time
Read?
If they had, they'd know there was a 13th disciple named Matthias. I'm not even kidding, it's in the Book of Acts. He was selected to replace Judas, and is described as having been with them since the beginning.
Why the fuck are they riding this dead dick so hard? He was a horrible debater, held repulsive beliefs even to some people on the right, and wasn't even really that popular. He was a laughing stock to the majority of people and a perfect poster child for ignorant racist idiots the world over. Like, if you're going to martyr someone, pick someone who stands up to scrutiny.
Well he did a good job of upholding his PR for those who are dumb enough to believe it because he deceptively edited his videos for them.
Charlie Kirk totally PWNS 25 stupid crybaby liberal students
They are using his strong religious beliefs as a lighting rod. If you slam Charlie Kirk, you're basically slamming Christianity. It is easily used as a weapon.
oh that's pretty easy. i'm against genocide.
Some dead people become martyrs and that has happened here.
That dumb fucking shooter.
Because of his position on social issues?

If you haven't read his wiki, now is a great time.
American Far-Right Evangelicalism is the biggest heresy in 21st century Christianity and possibly the most wide spread heresy in the history of the religion.
To be fair, any garden variety conservative could be an disciple. Judas, specifically.
They openly ignore and even violate Jesus' words and values regularly. Just the other day someone in the senate shouted "silent prayers bring silent results" and forced everyone to pray aloud.
I immediately thought of Matthew 6:5. If you're going to believe in fairy tales, maybe you should read the whole book first.
Judas, specifically.
Strongly disagree. Judas felt shame, and hung himself. Conservatives feel no shame and would never repent.
(Unless of course you read the other chapter of the fairy tale that says he didn’t kill himself but instead fell into a hole and exploded or something)
During Patel's hearing, Nehls said, "Charlie Kirk was a man of faith ... first and foremost, he loved his Lord Jesus, he loved his family. Beautiful wife, beautiful children. Just a remarkable honorable man that was silenced by this assassin's bullet. I would say if Charlie Kirk lived in the biblical times, he would have been the 13th disciple."
The full quote.
Lol, these fucking people. How can they not just get completely sick of themselves. I guess it takes having a monkey's level of self-awareness. I wonder if when they look in the mirror they get confused and aggressive at the thing staring back at them.
edit: I was very harsh on monkeys in this comment and I want to apologize to monkeys everywhere
"Dead guys wife is hot. Kids, too."
Holy fuck, I am so sick of this.
Come on, a Palestinian man preaching love and compassion ? The whole lot of them would call him a communist terrorist...
If Jesus came back and came to America, he would be shot within 10 minutes of opening his mouth and 100 years later a new religion would be started with a Glock as it's symbol.
Who says their God hasn't already tried to come back dozens of times but he keeps getting bombed because he's middle eastern
Only with "Republican Jesus". You know, the white guy wearing a toga, a cross, and an AR15.
Don't drag poor togas into this!
And lo, Charles did look down upon the leper, and he did pronounce "ugh, get a job!"
If you think Jesus got pissed with the money lenders at the temple he would have completely lost his shit with Charlie Kirk. Even Judas would have been grossed out.
Are they just going around trying to one up each other? What a ridiculous thing to say.
That is how fascism works. You must constantly increase your loyalty and worship or else you're at risk of being the next one attacked.
Charlie "Empathy is Evil" Kirk?
Yes. Remember, they worship Supply Side Jesus, not the one described in the Bible.
The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
I forgot Jesus said to love thy neighbor, but only if they’re white so you know they’re not a DEI hire.
Reality is meaningless to these people. They just make up whatever, it’s a massive circlejerk.
What a dumbass thing to say.
There is a non-zero chance that the second coming of Jesus DID happen, but it happened in rural America and he got killed by fascists again.
Contrary to what a lot of people think, I see this as a good sign. This right here is proof that MAGA has no future and that its days are numbered. A movement needs to be practical, flexible, coherent for it to last, and MAGA doesn't have any of these. MAGA currently has no morals, no values, no platform, no leadership outside of Trump, nothing. Everything starts and stops with Trump. Anything he says goes no matter how contradictory, insane, or nonsensical. He has purged the GOP and his own movement of anyone and anything that is capable of independent thought. He has made sure that MAGA and the GOP are exclusively made up of of yes men, which happen to be either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists.
This means that the moment Trump dies, MAGA will die with him. Without Trump serving as the de facto prophet, the movement will immediately fracture and the different factions will start fighting each other. This will lead them to be ineffective, which in turn will make them irrelevant with time. As for the GOP, it will become a blank slate as it will stand for nothing. It that will either collapse or reform to completely change from the top down. Because of this, I don't think MAGA is going to last long, but we just have to brace for the all the damage that they will cause in the little time they will be in power.
Republicans pretending to be "Christians" never ceases to amuse
At what point do you admit that you're just licking assholes?
These Nazis are truly disgusting.
...I mean, Judas was a disciple too if you believe in that kind of thing. Not high praise or anything.
Judas 2: Electric Bugaloo
In that the allegorical Jesus intentionally associated with the grimier undercurrent of the time and place he was stuck in? Sure. In a way, I guess. Kirk was grime incarnate, in many ways.
In literally any other way that accounts for meaningful context? Lol. No.
He very vocally stood for just about everything that Christ stood against, and anyone with the most miniscule reading comprehension and attention span can see that.
It's a real shame that this awesome planet has such a bad case of human infestation. Keeping to the religious theme, we have more than enough resources and know-how to turn this world into an actualized garden of eden. There's just no money in feeding the poor and genuinely taking care of our kin. Causing problems oftentimes makes more money than solving them, unfortunately. So instead, we're having this stupid-ass, pointless, needless dialogue as the money-machine that has damned us all continues to do it's damndest to see to it that we take this could-be paradise and turn it into an actual, tangible hell.
If we are not all cooked to raw carbon by 50 years from now, I will gladly eat my own foot.
At what point are they just trolling and taking our attention away from what matters when voting
He definitely would have debated him and every point he lost to Jesus, he just would have brought up some shit from the Old Testament as proof that Jesus is wrong.
Or maybe one of Voldemort's minions, or a band of orcs assaulting Helm's Deep, or a stormtrooper in- wait, that one's a little too close. They can imagine him as anything they want, he's worm food now.
