I think without religion we'd be much worse off

it gets in the way of their marxist agenda where everyone is atheist and race-mixed

Indeed, the Left is basically irreligious.

yeah I'm going to leave the religious argument, we don't need to split the discord over it

I went to a Buddhist temple a year ago and it was covered in swastikas and they were doing martial arts

Yeah that sounds like a good idea

Lol

ha

I think that's been their symbol for a while, I think they call it a manji or something

looks like American Buddhists are a bunch of marxists for the most part unfortunately

according to the button mash chart

You know, now that I think about it, I wonder what a shift in the Catholic authority would do politically?

Everyone in the temple were middle aged leftist having a midlife crisis. I was literally correcting the old lefty woman on the religion. She was reading a 100 page book basically paraphrasing whole chapters of Buddha's speeches into a quote that can fit in an image macro.

my data does not lie

buddhists are left-leaning

Isn't the guy next up to be the pope more conservative than francis? He's Austrian, right?

If the Catholic Church actually began condemning illegal immigration etc., it would cause a major shift towards the GOP.

Hmm

But atm it's got a lot of far-left/left-wing positions, combined with its far-right stances on sex-related issues.

I'm Protestant, that's it, not a priest kind of dude

All the Catholics cite that "accept strangers, you were strangers in Egypt" passage

Pfft I don't

I girl I liked tried telling that to me

Yeah, because the polling for the catholics was from 2014, francis came in 2013. Maybe it'd have a larger effect than most are paying attention if the administration wasn't aiding and abetting illegal immigration.

Depends on the circle, really.

told her to fuck off with that shit, no one is from there

But it's like open-borders/anti-death-penalty on one side and then anti-contraceptive on the other and you've basically got to pick 1.

I remember something from Aquinas that said something to the regards of different tolerances to immigration, some would be allowed passage through but not citizenship, some wouldn't be allowed passage, some would be granted citizenship after some generations

As that was the policy in the ancient kingdom of Israel

Yeah, and even before the Kingdom of Israel there were still immigration restrictions.

Not a catholic myself, but a lot of interesting stuff from Aquinas definitely

Jesus said to make disciples of all nations, not to destroy them.

This guy who's coming up apparently condemns all the pedo scandals and once warned of islamic invasion coming to Europe

Forgetting his name

Ah okay got it, it's Christoph Schönborn.

Archbishop of Vienna

So yeah, maybe that's an angle to keep in mind if some interesting stuff happens with the Vatican.

All of that is 100% out of our control, unfortunately

@Red Storm (in NYC) get in vc
