Fuck Elon Musk and all his complaints about the "woke mind virus." Maybe if the billionaires paid their fare share, America would have fully funded educational and healthcare systems and a vaccine would already be developed and waiting <snark>. Instead, he and his cohorts are infected with the ORIGINAL mind virus: GREED.

Can the right wing christians count? Cause last I heard, the last supper had 12. Also, they were in various stages of repose. Also, that was just a friggin painting, an artist's interpretation, and not an actual event where they probably would not have been all in a line

They wouldn’t have all been sitting to eat on the same side of the table? The heck you say!

I'm sorry, but the last supper is the only recorded incident in history where a bunch of people sat at a long table and looked at the audience. Any similar events, like the top table at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, are obviously malicious irreligious parodies.

France is a bit disappointing...

First apologising. Second, having given a medal to the poster boy of the criminal organisation known a the "church" of $cientology. I'm glad it's one of the ministers of the old government who got caught being all excited and stuff.

Oh, for fuck's sake. American Christians like these political nimrods (not Musk, he's just a troll) have crawled so far up their own asses that they can't understand anything unless it's somehow to do with the bibbel. Learn some history and understand an entire world exists outside your book

You're a scribe, aren't you. Or a pharisee. Gotta be one or the other.

Like all this religion stuff, today we talk about how "they" used to worship this and believe that, and now we know lalala and nobody throws virgins into volcanoes anymore, but is there a natural life cycle to superstitions and maybe there's hope for a near future where x-thousand-year-old superstitions aren't going to be the foundation of our belief systems maybe soon perhaps maybe?

I'm looking at you, Abrahamic super trinity. Your days are numbered because your science is hot garbage and your ways are bass-ackward.

Someday, if the superstitious science-deniers don't burn us all off this planet first, the future humans will study this era and the silly superstitions that we had, and marvel at how messed-up we were about reproduction, to even invent and worship a deity who was born without the boning. And they'll study how even scientifically-literate humans forced women around the world to reproduce in the name of their superstitions, even when the outcome was guaranteed to be bad or fatal, even when there were no resources for more humans.

Our no-hump-required-to-spawn savior wants everyone else's humping to always result in babies or that humping is forbidden. Only the baby-making humping to please the deity who was formed without the humping. Perhaps if the religion hadn't been based on a no-sex starter course, they wouldn't be all het up about the sex.

That is indeed what happens when you cut the liberal arts. Rolling Stone foreshadowed it years ago, with an article headlined "Welcome to Donald Trump's Ignorant America." It was trenchant and prophetic.

Worse, the home schooling industry (see the Duggar family documentary "shiny happy people") is probably not big on Greek gods, either... And not voting Democrat is one way of giving these dweebs the keys to power.

"Shiny Happy People" was probably one of the most enraging and terrifying documentaries I've ever seen. [[shudder]]

The groups most disrespectful of the message of Jesus in the New Testament are the fundamentalist cult members who pervert the words of Jesus. Easily identified by the red ink used when Jesus is speaking. You would have to search extensively to find a less Christian, hate filled, and biblically illiterate group of people.

Glad to see I’m not the only peppering posts with the occasional French.

Okay, "if it isn't 'dogs playing poker' then it must be the other one" caused an unfortunate filling of my trousers from laughter.

My older well read sister knew what this was. I was unaware of the controversy until yesterday when she told me. But today when I was looking around the YouTubes to try and see for the performance for myself, everything I looked at made it sound like it was the Last Supper being mocked. This is the first story I've seen which clearly states what was being portrayed. Sheeshcadoodles!

George W. standing up in a rowboat?

That's how you win a Darwin Award. He was probably huddled under a blanket truing to stay warm to lead the attack
