The most cringe part is JD Vance saying he’ll pray. Pray for what? That no fighter jets crash? That the bombs intended to kill one guy only destroy a few apartment complexes of civilians?
I don’t know if the strike was a good or bad decision or how precise it was. Adding a journalist to the group chat was bad enough. Don’t bring God into the group chat about killing people. Vance converted to Catholicism and I’m pretty sure there’s a line in the Catholic version of the Bible about how thou shalt not kill. It’s not an ambiguous verse like Deuteronomy where you can convince yourself it’s fine to eat crabs because of the New Testament.
I swear to God (good version), the only people who read the Bible are curious atheists and priests. Self-professed Christians are there for the potlucks and networking opportunities.
I was raised in a very Catholic region. Our football team is called The Saints. We called the (then new) Protestant church “Mary Queen of the Parking Lot” because it was in a strip mall. Even now, I have no idea what the Protestant megachurch by the interstate is called because everyone calls it “Six Flags Over Jesus.” I’ve been to weddings there and I don’t know the name.
I say all that to say no one is weirder than people who convert to Catholicism. I’m agnostic and I try to follow the teachings of Jesus (as a philosopher) more than weird ass adult converts like JD Vance. Like, help the poor and turn the other cheek. Forgiveness is as much a blessing for you as it is for the person you’re forgiving. And JD Vance is like, “The Crusades were cool.” No! They sucked!

More Irish than the Irish themselves
The “line” is in all Christian bibles which contain the old and new testaments, and of course in the Jewish Torah.
It’s #6, after some pretty ephemeral rules. Maybe being that low in the order dictates its importance to these douche-chalupas.
