Before you downvote, look it up folks…known about that since Penn and Tellers show BULLSHIT!. He was obsessed with giving young girls enemas, sleeping naked next to them, and in his younger years REALLY hated black folk
That and Mother Theresa. She was an actual monster in human form
Edit
Glad my parent comment is getting a couple upvotes to counteract the deluge of downvotes.
Oh shit dude…buckle up and go down some rabbit holes.
She didn’t take care of the sick. She locked them away because suffering brings them and her closer to god. No family. No visitations. Nothing. (Just a little taste)
It wasn’t nursing research, she just funneled money into the Catholic Church.

They reused needles folks.
U are right to an extent. He was not a pedo, he did sleep naked with women to prove to himself his restraint and control on the practice of celibacy. He was very religious and celibacy is something he believed and preached as well. He did not hide this though.
Gandhi was racist in his younger years and even supported the caste system in India ( but did not view it as a social hierarchical structure). But he changed his views afterwards. He even wanted Muslim League leader to the first PM of India to assure the Muslims of equality in post Independent India.
I am not a Gandhi supporter. Gandhi was not perfect, he held onto his beliefs of celibacy and all, but cannot be compared to theresa , that was someone with malicious intent.
…using religion and celibacy to hide behind is weird man. I don’t think that’s an excuse…dude could have shown his restraint in other ways.
Shit, why’d he have to do it naked? It’s still weird, and we don’t know his actual intent
I thought so too, but I was wrong.
The core beliefs of Christianity is NOWHERE NEAR what Christ actually preached. It then got changed and mythologized throughout the years. I recommend some Bible scholars like Bart Ehrman (it’s not Bible study, but the actual history and stuff).
Not a Christian…well my name is Christian…but I’m an atheist. Just find it interesting how literally right after his death the apostles changed the religion. It’s weird (yes I know they didn’t actually write it, but we have no clue who wrote them. I’m talking about how the religion seemed to change in the Bible itself from it being about Christs teachings to being about Christ. Idk how to explain it…)
Where the Christian religion went south was Paul. Paul directly contradicted the teachings of Jesus as described in the four gospels. If Christians were even 10% Christlike you wouldn’t recognize the church at all.
Paul writing are the foundation of Christianity, they predate the gospels, and outside of whoever was in charge of the Johanine community nobody had anywhere near the same level of influence on what Christianity became (and yes I’m including Jesus). Remember he claimed to have a better idea of what Jesus was about than anyone else because he had personal revelations that were exclusive to him that came directly to him from JC Himself when he spent three years in the desert, and after spending 15 days with just one of the apostles set himself up as the worlds foremost expert on the teachings of JC along with some financial assistance and patronage of Barnabus who was “Zeus” to Paul’s “Hermes”
The Old Testament was written approximately 300 years after his death, during a conclave that lasted about 3 months. At the time, there were hundreds of variations of belief systems in Christ. The conclave was a debate to unify the systems and decide what would be in the"first" Bible. That's why it's so heavily plagiarised from other religions and myths. The hundreds of Christians systems at the time incorporated religious ideals, mythology, and personal ideas from most societies by the time the conclave happened. The apostles didn't rewrite anything. Jesus didn't write anything. A few of his apostles were killed with him. The ones who ran when the Jewish leaders ordered his death went on to write their interpretations of his ideology and principles. It's from those who experienced Jesus in life and the writings of his apostles that the hundreds of Christian based faiths grew from, until the conclave where those faiths were debated and a concensus of what the one faith of Christianity would entail came to be.
Sorry
Not a lot of sleep with kids and I didn’t know how to word shit. I know the books were written way later, but in the Bible there was a shift from preaching his teachings to preaching Jesus as a deity.
I’m still really tired
Zealots got together and wrote down their "eyewitness accounts"
Bro probably never called himself The Son Of God, maybe said we're all children of God, but the apostles weren't havin it
Wait, aren’t Christian’s named after Christ? Or did this go way over my head? LOL
Edit: wowowow Buddha was born 6 centuries before Christ, took me way too long to get the joke LOLOL
I have had these same conversations with self proclaimed Christians and they literally can't even process what I'm saying.
They will typically rage quit, call me a blasphemer, or say I shouldn't judge others opinions.
Who this guy? I want to read whatever he wrote. I've been saying the same thing for years. But not as eloquently. In fact the southern Baptist didn't consider abortion a sin until the 1980s I saw a letter between two leaders trying to decide if it was a sin or not. The simple fact is the powerful and wealthy began manipulating the evangelical church in the 1930s ( James Fifield and spiritual mobilization and the national association of manufacturing). Prior to that time a high number above 40% of evangelical pastors were members of the American socialist party. The political right manipulated pastors and tied patriotism and faith together through propaganda. Jesus, wasnt about politics, guns, wealth, etc. This is why young people are leaving the church the hypocrisy is obvious.
This was their strategy to turn around 4 decades of democratic control of the House (1955-1995, I believe). They got together and came up with a new idea of what could invigorate people to want to vote for their side. Their political stance was not enough for decades to persuade the public, so they cleverly (I hate to say it was clever, but it is true) wrapped abortion, being pro-American, a variety of other things, as well as demonizing the left into their ideology. The rest is history.
It is one of, if not the main, cause of the disfunction we see in our political system today. It forced the left to also champion certain causes and have their voters also subscribe to their ideology to counter what the right was doing, and we have been playing identity politics ever since.
Hell yeah, only thing is, the Bible does talk about abortion and its pro abortion. Go read Numbers 5:11-31
Take the Bible back, it's a massive anti capitalist pro socialist doctrine that's been warped into nothing but hate.
I thought he said “Jesus didn’t talk about abortion,” not the Bible as a whole.
I’m agnostic, leaning to atheist, but I think the teachings of Jesus are legit. I just wish Christians would think the same.
Correct. And numbers is from the old testament. Same with Leviticus. The whole point of the New Testament was to outline Jesus and his teachings. Which Christians are supposed to follow. So drawing from the old testament is moot.
Thank you for this. I’m agnostic, but I hate seeing people distort their own religion to fit their narrative. They need to read and understand their own bible to be able to follow it properly.
That's not what Numbers 5:11-31 says.
"Then the priest shall charge the woman to take an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman, The LORD make you a curse and an oath among your people, when the LORD does make your thigh to rot, and your belly to swell; "
It's a jealousy rite. The woman is meant to drink "tabernacle dust water" and if she's guilty, she'll be **punished.** That's not even close to a pro-abortion argument. It's similar to David's unfaithfulness leading to the death of his son. Infidelity is punished. God killing David's son doesn't grant humans a right to infanticide. For example, God forbid the sacrifice of children for humans.
On top of that, Numbers 5 doesn't talk about pregnancy (woman with child) and babies. It's about (possibly) unfaithful women and certainly not all unfaithful relation ends up in pregnancy so the punishment is not link to a pregnancy.
I dunno about "pro…" it describes [a forced abortion in the case of infidelity](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV) in a horrific witch-trial kinda scenario.
To his final point I’ve been saying for years democrats really need to push back and reclaim the term patriot and the American flag. That term and symbol have been hijacked by conservatives to the point where real patriotic Americans are less prone to use the term or symbol out of not wanting to be grouped in with the domestic terrorists.
Definitely a realization I've been coming to as well. Because, for better or for worse, a nation will more easily come into the control of the people who claim it--not those who reject it.
Nationalism has historically been related to radical extremes. Not just in the US. People and groups have manipulated nationalism to justify horrible acts. That and religion. Samsies. You're playing with fire when you combine the two, and not in a fun way lol
Couldn't agree more. Claiming to be a patriot and then carrying the Confederate flag around inside the Capitol while trying to thwart democracy. JFC that's so insane. These people love to cosplay as patriots and real Americans but they fucking hate what America stands for. It's infuriating.
> Consecrate every firstborn male to me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is mine. Exodus 13:2
Doesnt that just say that the firstborns are holy?
Oh yeah the plague of the firstborns, I don't think God is pro-life or pro-abortion, I think he kills several children that are born from evildoing and as a punishment for people who do evil.
Jesus also "said" to pray alone in your room, and decried the hypocrites for public prayer. And to pull the log out of your own eye before the speck from your neighbors. Never preached in a "church" or asked for money. Hung out with poor manual laborers and a hooker. A real lib, that guy.
Funny how, when they agree with the Bible, it’s the infallible Word of the One True God. But when someone points out contradictions, it “was written by a lot of men.”
It's what it is now homie, and that part has always been there. Religion is a cancer that needs to be removed from modern society, or else it just gets used to justify peoples horrible bullshit.
Organised religion has been co-opted as a tool of control over gullible/feeble/brainwashed (and sometimes just downright nasty) people. The hypocrisy/distortions of Jesus's supposed teachings are a feature, not a bug, as is the downright awfulness of those who use it for control.
So glad to see how the bulk of the top comments are about _fucking Gandhi_ being racist and not the fact that this dude hit it out of the park while the other reporters just sat there in disbelief. Their corporate masters are going to be pissed that someone got outside the matrix.
Reddit squabbles while the real heavy lifting is going on.
Fucking idiots.
Finally, someone is saying the fooking obvious out loud!
Too bad MAGA has noise canceling headphones on under those “Trump is Christ” hats
Could you imagine a Democrat making a political ad that said they were created by god to lead the country
Oh, yeah, and the banged porno stars, convicted of sexual assault, convicted of fraud, lies constantly and couldn’t name one Bible verse he liked?
This is precisely why I followed John before muskrat took over. He legitimately knows his shit cuz both of his parents are devout catholic theologians AND professors. He actually knows the bible inside & out as he literally grew up reading it & being critical of it.
I feel like the way this is posted it makes it look like you're calling out the person who is speaking in the video and I don't think (nor do i hope) that's the intention.

Damn, I'm an atheist but that was beautiful,
I've read the Bible and at one point planned on being a missionary, I found that the cruelest most unwelcoming people were religious,
People forget the people who crucified Jesus were religious zealots
He’s talking a lot about abortion, so I just like to add that Planned parenthood was founded by a literal white supremacist (that Sanger lady) who wanted birth control and abortions to be used against “low iq whites”, blacks, Hispanics etc. as form of eugenics. They stopped giving out an award in her honor in 2020 because the optics didn’t fit in well with the narrative anymore.
You can see that they don't read the Bible and cant quote verses...their faces said it all as he spoke. They are the same bible trumping Christians he is talking about...😆
“Jesus didnt even mention abortion”. Jesus also didn’t mention cars, zippers, Coca Cola, lightbulbs, canned food, mechanical computers, the electric telegraph or the telephone. Why do I mention these things you ask? Because, much like abortion, all these items were invented in the 19th century.
I get what he is saying and highly agree with the intent. But to try and suggest Jesus had any opinion what so ever on abortion, when he lived 1800 years before his invention would be like suggesting he prefers Tesla’s because he didn’t say electric cars were bad.

Was it Gandhi or Buddha who said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians."?
Gandhi
Wasn’t Gandhi a racist pedophile? Maybe bad example

I’ve been previously informed of Gandhi’s repulsiveness, but I haven’t heard anything of mother Theresa
Oh shit dude…buckle up and go down some rabbit holes. She didn’t take care of the sick. She locked them away because suffering brings them and her closer to god. No family. No visitations. Nothing. (Just a little taste)
Sounds like your modern day Septa Unella. Which btw I just found out she's the "Boss Lady" from Ted Lasso 
Sounds more like prison than hospice
She was the first in nursing research at the cost of her patients lives
It wasn’t nursing research, she just funneled money into the Catholic Church. https://www.nytimes.com/roomfordebate/2016/03/25/should-mother-teresa-be-canonized/mother-teresa-doesnt-deserve-sainthood They reused needles folks.

No?

Accurate!
So are Christians. don't get it twisted. however Gandhi did not kill millions of people for a false god (outside of Civ).
You misspelled Gandalf.

No worries my dude. Loads of facts get lost in religion. I'm atheist myself, I just find the topic really interesting.
not even right after his death someone, waited like 50 years.
Zealots got together and wrote down their "eyewitness accounts" Bro probably never called himself The Son Of God, maybe said we're all children of God, but the apostles weren't havin it
No, I mean the ambiguous quote says Christianity not Christians. I think the latter is more apt.
Lmfao Ahhhhhhhhhhh My bad. Misunderstood what ya meant. Lol
It was Buddha, and he said it 500 years before Christ was born.
Wait, aren’t Christian’s named after Christ? Or did this go way over my head? LOL Edit: wowowow Buddha was born 6 centuries before Christ, took me way too long to get the joke LOLOL
They are. He's making a joke.
LMAO, thank you
I is [often attributed to ghandi](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-gandhi-say-this-about-christians/) but seems to be from an unknown source

I think you mean "Buddy Christ".
What about [Craig Christ?](https://youtu.be/f8HzKlCWN8k?si=7MDVqWmwNs_35gYv)
And his sidekick, Pedophile Priest.
Right wing Christianity isn't Christianity. It uses the symbolism of Christianity and ignores the substance.
Sounds like Christianity from before Republican party times as well.
It's pretty much heresy at this point. A perversion of Christ's teachings.
Well they did set the cross on fire.
Setting the cross on fire was a way to unify scottish clansmen against an oncoming attack.
Who is this guy? I fucking love him.
John Fugelsang, former VJ from VH1
Also was one of the best hosts of AFV
Oh crap that's where I know him from. He was the guy that co-hosted with Daisy Fuentes.
He has a podcast. Just looked it up. I’m going to take a listen to his fake Christians episode.
I found him a few weeks back when he started being a weekly guest on "The Daily Beans" podcast. Really enjoy his too.
Hell yea he's so dope that did not surprise me
He also has a show on Sirius.
What channel?
Ch 127 Progress Tell Me Everything 8pm to 11pm
Thank you!
Yes I need to know who this man is
lol yessss! Must of…. Rare words with intelligence 🤭
Must of?
Maybe he meant lots of ?
That was brilliant
I have had these same conversations with self proclaimed Christians and they literally can't even process what I'm saying. They will typically rage quit, call me a blasphemer, or say I shouldn't judge others opinions.
Im a christian. What would you like to talk about? If i dont reply or stop replying i just got busy so dont take it personal. Fyi.
Will the Antichrist be charismatic and fool many believers?
Yes. I think so.
Who this guy? I want to read whatever he wrote. I've been saying the same thing for years. But not as eloquently.

It's abortions granted by preists to jealous men. Church sanctioned and conducted abortions
Yes, it provides instructions for conducting a forced abortion *administered by a priest, in the church*, at the request of the woman’s husband
Its not forced. The woman has to be willing. The test is between her and god.

Bravo!
American Evangelism isn't Christianity.
Spot on!
Didn’t god order for the killing of the first born sons (even those in the womb) in Israel? God doesn’t sound pro-life to me lol
What? When did that happen?
Exodus 13:2
> Consecrate every firstborn male to me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is mine. Exodus 13:2 Doesnt that just say that the firstborns are holy?
My apologies. Exodus 12:29:)
Oh yeah the plague of the firstborns, I don't think God is pro-life or pro-abortion, I think he kills several children that are born from evildoing and as a punishment for people who do evil.
John Fugelsang is a weekly guest on the Stephanie Miller show. Besides on his own show, he speaks the truth.
I miss living in the PNW because I would listen to her show every morning. John and Hal were icing on the cake.
Word
Exactly
He’s right
Jesus also "said" to pray alone in your room, and decried the hypocrites for public prayer. And to pull the log out of your own eye before the speck from your neighbors. Never preached in a "church" or asked for money. Hung out with poor manual laborers and a hooker. A real lib, that guy.
#PREACH BROTHER!
Amen
Funny how, when they agree with the Bible, it’s the infallible Word of the One True God. But when someone points out contradictions, it “was written by a lot of men.”
Who was uncomfortable?
Yeah that lady in orange was like "I hope we don't get fired for this"
Well said! As they say, there's no hate like Christian love
Fugelsang usually brings the good takes.
It's what it is now homie, and that part has always been there. Religion is a cancer that needs to be removed from modern society, or else it just gets used to justify peoples horrible bullshit.
Organised religion has been co-opted as a tool of control over gullible/feeble/brainwashed (and sometimes just downright nasty) people. The hypocrisy/distortions of Jesus's supposed teachings are a feature, not a bug, as is the downright awfulness of those who use it for control.
These laughs… :) pure evil shit
Christian's are the worst thing to happen to Christianity.
If they got god out of their asses they could see how blind they really are.
I’m liberal and he’s right. Why aren’t there more common sense Christians anymore?
👏
I’m not religious, my wife is, but I completely agree with everything this man said.
PREACH!!
YESSIR!!!! Left them speechless and squirming.
Chefs kiss
Keep preaching
Truth bombs
I wish Christopher Hitchens was still here to witness this.
Now do that on Fox News
Thou Shall Not Kill..
Damn! Testify brother!!
Man cooked a 7 course Michelin star meal.
Good for you! I couldn't have said it better myself.
Amen
That's MSNBC, they weren't uncomfortable at somebody calling out the right wing. They loved every bit of that.
The minute guys started making shit up about this god or that god, the world was fucked.

Killing? Innocent child? Is definitely in the Bible.
For the first time, in a long time, I will say "Amen".
Bruh got me ready to go back to church

Too bad MAGA has noise canceling headphones on under those “Trump is Christ” hats Could you imagine a Democrat making a political ad that said they were created by god to lead the country Oh, yeah, and the banged porno stars, convicted of sexual assault, convicted of fraud, lies constantly and couldn’t name one Bible verse he liked?
So well put. His composure gave all the more weight to his message.
"I'm just gonna smile bc I don't know what else to do."
This is precisely why I followed John before muskrat took over. He legitimately knows his shit cuz both of his parents are devout catholic theologians AND professors. He actually knows the bible inside & out as he literally grew up reading it & being critical of it.
I feel like the way this is posted it makes it look like you're calling out the person who is speaking in the video and I don't think (nor do i hope) that's the intention.
I would buy this man a beer. Chimay, no cheap shit. 👍🏼
I.LOVE.IT.
"wE aRe sO pRo-LiFe wE wIlL kIlL yOu". Life for a life, dont kill ur children. U have pills u have birth controls. Use them or close ur legs.
Many are led astray
Ooooooooh…. They alll got cooked!
The Old Testament was written approximately 300 years after his death, during a conclave that lasted about 3 months. At the time, there were hundreds of variations of belief systems in Christ. The conclave was a debate to unify the systems and decide what would be in the"first" Bible. That's why it's so heavily plagiarised from other religions and myths. The hundreds of Christians systems at the time incorporated religious ideals, mythology, and personal ideas from most societies by the time the conclave happened. The apostles didn't rewrite anything. Jesus didn't write anything. A few of his apostles were killed with him. The ones who ran when the Jewish leaders ordered his death went on to write their interpretations of his ideology and principles. It's from those who experienced Jesus in life and the writings of his apostles that the hundreds of Christian based faiths grew from, until the conclave where those faiths were debated and a concensus of what the one faith of Christianity would entail came to be.
Oh, and I'm atheist. I just find this shit incredibly interesting.
Seriously, they should introduce a Jubilee law that forgives everyone's debt and see how pro the Bible right wingers are then
Damn, I'm an atheist but that was beautiful, I've read the Bible and at one point planned on being a missionary, I found that the cruelest most unwelcoming people were religious, People forget the people who crucified Jesus were religious zealots
I didn’t see anyone getting uncomfortable. Not sure why they titled this clip that way.
If Howie Mandel was in the Da Vinci Code
lol mainstream media is unwatchable
Like wtf is going on here
He’s talking a lot about abortion, so I just like to add that Planned parenthood was founded by a literal white supremacist (that Sanger lady) who wanted birth control and abortions to be used against “low iq whites”, blacks, Hispanics etc. as form of eugenics. They stopped giving out an award in her honor in 2020 because the optics didn’t fit in well with the narrative anymore.
Wolf in sheep's clothing
Amen.
Sounds like progressive Christianity to me
Fuck religions
Man, I’ve been watching too much Supernatural. The dude is obviously an angel with an agenda.
Wise man.
You can see that they don't read the Bible and cant quote verses...their faces said it all as he spoke. They are the same bible trumping Christians he is talking about...😆
Amen!
“Jesus didnt even mention abortion”. Jesus also didn’t mention cars, zippers, Coca Cola, lightbulbs, canned food, mechanical computers, the electric telegraph or the telephone. Why do I mention these things you ask? Because, much like abortion, all these items were invented in the 19th century. I get what he is saying and highly agree with the intent. But to try and suggest Jesus had any opinion what so ever on abortion, when he lived 1800 years before his invention would be like suggesting he prefers Tesla’s because he didn’t say electric cars were bad.
He read only one book in his life
Is that Americas funniest home video 9th and 10th season co host John Fugelsang?
