kromem,

I always love how Christians regularly freak out about the idea that “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” is canonically the only unforgivable thing they can do, but then rationalize it as some amorphous thing that’s just not believing enough such that they go on to claim the Holy Spirit does all sorts of shit.

“The Holy Spirit supervised the creation of the Bible so it’s inerrant (even though the majority of scholars think things like 1 Timothy are unquestionably forgeries).”

“The Holy Spirit moved me to post Nazi memes - I was an unwilling vessel.”

If that shit really is unforgivable I’d imagine the vast majority of Christians are in for a surprise down the road…

Dagwood222,

That’s worse! You realize that’s worse?!?

Dr_Fetus_Jackson,

Narrator: “They didn’t.”

rayyy,

Not the first person who hears voices in her head, only this was the supreme commander of the universe, who MUST be obeyed.

argo_yamato,

Monique has decided to play the victim card, wailing about “cancel culture.”

Again facing repercussions for your actions is not “cancel culture”.

So apparently she, member of the board of Red Deer Catholic Regional Schools in Alberta, Canada, posted a meme comparing pride activism to nazi activism, like they’re “both brainwashing”. The board stripped her of her committee duties and she’s now lawyered up in response to sue other Christians about it with the claim that she’s the real victim here, that this infringes on her right to express her faith like every other normal Christian.

Oh honey, when you use your faith as a shield for your politics and your politics equivocate oppressors with those you want to see oppressed, you’ve just told the world that God is, in your image, a fascist. 🍿 🤡

Cthulhus_Cuck,

Of course it was red deer XD, I grew up in that shit hole and honestly this isn’t even that surprising for the crackpot stuff that went on there. I’m surprised she got punished.

Honytawk,

Anyone know what the meme was about?

It was PebbleYeet, wasn’t it?

Ulrich_the_Old,

Either provide proof of this “holy spirit” or fuck all the way off.

We don’t have freedom of speech in Canada, it’s Freedom of Expression, which limits hate speech among other nasty things. en.wikipedia.org/…/Freedom_of_expression_in_Canad…

Think of it like a built-in Paradox Tolerance solution!

The other holy trinity: the father, the son, and Adolf Hitler

ohlaph,

The holy Spirit gave me devastating diarrhea, it’s its responsibility to clean it up.

online,

You don’t “blame” the holy spirit. That means she’s saying one of the incarnations of God wanted her to do it. That’s like saying God is a Nazi.

funkless_eck,

well he DID kill a large amount of Jews?

IzzyJ,

This but unironically. God is pretty much a supernatural fascist tyrant

ghostdoggtv,

is would be

FTFY :)

IzzyJ,

Piss off

Draedron,

Do you say Luks is Darth Vaders son or Luke would be Darth Vaders son?

ghostdoggtv,

Depends how much the person I’m talking to insists that the character is real

tallwookie,

or Hitler was divinely inspired

spider,

No surprise, especially after last year’s trucker protests.

Smoogs,

it’s Alberta. Both the Texas and Florida of Canada.

I thought Saskatchewan was the Florida of Canada… Then there’s the Territories, but they’re a class all in their own.

Only in Americ… wait, what? Canadians are supposed to be better than this. :shocked picachu:

Smoogs,

You haven’t met that many Albertans. This is them.

Fades,

Canadians are just as fucked as the rest of us. Just look at how they treated (and STILL treat) indigenous peoples.

Son_of_dad,

Who told you that? I live in Canada and it’s full of assholes up here. Tons of Trumper, Confederate flag waving types.

VintageTech,

I thought they were eh’holes?

IzzyJ,

These people confuse me. Why are you trying so hard to betray a country you aren’t part of?

DeanFogg,

They’re just shitty people that have had their shitty beliefs validated

Thewhizard,

That Holy Spirit be pretty sneaky
