Demise of religion is inevitable when people started getting a good education. Less the fault of religion (interesting!) than the men who maintain it (a lot of reactionary weirdos!)
Chrissy Stroop (@www.bugbeardispatch.com):
If education truly heralded the end of religion, America would look like Europe. Also, not all religions are anti-intellectual; Judaism encourages debate, and it's possible to be an atheist and practice Judaism, Buddhism, etc. Supernatural belief isn't the defining feature of religion as such
M.Sfinbar (@sfinbar.bsky.social):
It takes time for religion to lose cultural power because, as you say "Supernatural belief isn't the defining feature of religion as such." Authority/legitimacy based on ancient desert musings just loses out against educated people over time.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
I think you are comparing apples and oranges.
There's culturally transmitted, traditional religion as an institution. And there's experienced religion as a personal & cultural phenomenon.
One of these erodes against educated people over time. The other can happen to educated people over time.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
People believe for as many different reasons as there are stars in the sky.

each one of these is totally unique. i make them with a giant glass slab in trans pride colors that i cut up with a saw (my husband helps me with this part because he is an ally) and then i refire them
Nora Reed (they/them ze/hir) (@nora.zone):
here's the how they're made post with pictures nora.jewelry/blogs/proces...
Nora Reed (they/them ze/hir) (@nora.zone):
this is the real highlight though. babby's first slab
Nora Reed (they/them ze/hir) (@nora.zone):
i actually have made a second slab since this and am working my way through it but i am very emotionally attached to the first slab i made. i had never used a 6 inch mold before i did this and it was almost a disaster. my large glass slab son

Seriously?
I was in the UK at the time. They didn't invite me to the conspiracy at all.
Was it because I was a foreign national? That would make me more likely to be recruited, no?

It's funny how both Steve and I are pathetically salty about twitter and refuse to use it, but for completely different reasons.

Which reason do you have?

For me it's that most of the Catholics are far-right sedevacantist pseuds. Twitter really is the perfect platform for
since the character limit prevents any serious attempts to refute their dumb arguments.

Are they like conspiracy theorist? What do they think the papalcy is conspiring to?

There isn't a single
of thought you can ascribe to all of them but the general gists run along two tracks: either the Church was infiltrated by Freemasons/commies/satanists (repeating myself) or that the Popes since V2 have been modernist heretics. It's as incoherent as it sounds.
When you press them to provide examples it's a bunch of out of context piecemealed nonsense and the real reasons they're salty have more to do with cultural factors outside of the Church's control + Pope Francis cracking down on schismatic rightoids but not excommunicating half the hierarchy in Germany/Belgium/NL/probably other European countries and initiating a second Reformation.

Who was the Vergeltungswaffe 2 Pope (V2)?
Funny thing, I recently saw a gay flag (7 stripes, not the rainbow peace flag which has 6 stripes) in front of a catholic churchI am r-slurred, the peace flag has 7, the gay flag has 6 stripes(
@Thirtythirst4sissies you're still wrong)
But thank you for the followup!

It's not funny.
A huge percentage of the Germans are heretics, it's a big problem. Half of the controversial decisions/quotations from Pope Francis can only even be understood in the context of trying to rein in what's happening in your part of the world. For example: German bishops start Der Synodale Weg, so instead Pope Francis calls for an international Synod of the entire Church to try to prevent the Germans going full woke, or the provisions to allow blessings of gay couples was ultimately about telling eurostrags what the absolute maximum they're allowed to do is.
The Pope who called Vatican II was St. Pope John XXIII and then St. Pope Paul VI was heading the Church while it was actually underway and implemented.

I was a bit r-slurred and edited my previous comment before you responded
But I even agree with you here. We already have the evangelical church that does these things. Catholics should not transform themselves into progressive larpers, it wouldn't work with their century old hierarchies. That's our job. If you don't like it the catholic way you always can come to our, welcoming side

Heretic.
People picking and choosing their Church to align with their political beliefs is everything that's wrong in the world. Our hearts and minds should be aligned to the teachings of Christ and Holy Mother Church, not the other way around. The older I get the more I appreciate that Catholicism is not a democracy.

It's really funny to pretend he did this instead of a staffer, Donald Trump, typing this out on his phone, he keeps putting exclamation points and words in all caps but then says no, this is a somber reflective moment

At first I was like, maybe he could copypaste the text, but uh
Honestly, attaching an image is not his style. Or likely within his capabilities

For ten years, I have said, Karpman Drama Triangle Dynamic.
It's readily identifiable, toxic, & can be broken out of - but only when the people trapped in it choose to break the cycle.
They are Victims of Persecutor-Others and Trump is their Rescuer. In their narrative.
Their DARVO narrative.
Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):
Nine years ago I told a MAGA adherent, "You are getting involved in a terrorist cult that will exploit you and you will end up committing crimes for him"
They were so incensed at this ego wound, that they made a point of committing crimes for him.
You can't reason them out of it.
