I hope this means that they have canceled the Snow White movie.

Wouldn't be surprised if the Trump administration threatened Disney into ditching it.

Let's be real no threat is needed. If this made them win craploads of money they would be plastering Disney world with transexual parades every second of the day

The fact that they are not doing it says a lot

It'll be interesting to see a character following the teachings of Jesus Christ, like

  • Luke 16:13 "You cannot serve both God and money."
  • Mark 10:21 "Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor"
  • Matthew 5:39 "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also."
  • Matthew 5:44 "love your enemies"

So there's no chance the character will be a capitalist, troop-supporting, neo-Nazi. Right?

One of my personal favorites:

  • Luke 12:46-48:

46 the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. 47 And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, 48 but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of [d]a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.

Jesus sure loved his slaves, huh? Gives you guidelines on how to beat them. Told people to "love your enemies," but clearly people you own don't deserve that courtesy. He hung out with prostitutes, but was never able to disavow the practice of owning other humans as property? Kind of unacceptable imo.

The canonical Bible (the supposed ordained word of god) also include's Paul's further interpretation of Jesus' teachings on slaves in...

  • Ephesians 6:5–8:

5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.

Oof.

Do you think that Christianity became the religion of imperialism out of coincidence?

“Openly” as if Christians aren’t the dominant cultural and political group in the USA

[–] [email protected] 48 points 2 days ago

Yeah, "demonstrably" or "obnoxiously" would probably be much more accurate..

Eww, yuck. I’ll pass on that one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Did you also pass on Ms Marvel and Turning Red?

[–] [email protected] -2 points 18 hours ago

No. Their religion was just a part of their character from the beginning. They didn’t have to “come out” as religious.

The very notion that someone has to “come out” as Christian is an absurdity. Christians aren’t a persecuted group, although they would like you to think they were. They want so badly to be the victims, but they’re really the oppressor.

a shift in conservative culture

independent poll that shows 34% being against a trans character

conservative terrorists are the greatest threat domestically

I guess Nazis saying "I'll fucking kill you and your kids you woke traitor" and then Americans being afraid to participate in democracy does qualify as a shift towards conservativism.

Disus Christ enters chat - because Disney and Jesus are now brothers.
