        Saying that genocide is bad is like the lowest possible bar of respectability. It’s sad that him coming out and saying that a war is unjust and shouldn’t be happening is considered newsworthy.

        Although I will give him credit for sticking with it even after Trump threatened him. He could have dropped it at that point and he didn’t.

        In a fight between a pedo defender that isn’t enthusiastic about killing children, and a pedo that loves when children are killed, we’re collectively crying for all of it to be over, but also slightly prefer the first one.

      tl;dr: Matthew 4 covers that by saying don’t do stupid soot to test God

      Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”

      “The lord helps those who help themselves,” The pope muses aloud, as the glass is splintered by incoming rifle rounds. “And I’m feeling real fuckin’ helpful.”

      “Enlighten 'em up!” He commands his security details. And with a flourish he swings the MG2 .50 calibre machine gun from beneath his white cloak, cranks the charging handle on the weapon, and begins returning fire.
