Yeah, fuck that guy. That's his underhanded dog whistle way of saying he doesn't give a fuck about anyway unless they're christian.
Though we know he doesn't give a fuck about anyone but he hasn't explicitly stated that publicly (yet).

Yeah, super awkward. If you were being specific to his followers, you’d say Catholics. If you’re being generic, you’d say his admirers or whatever. “Christians” is such a weird middle ground that includes some people who followed him religiously and some who didn’t but appreciated him anyway.

Y'know Columbo, I tried to help you from the beginning! And now you just keep turning up!

Interesting, completely unrelated but fun fact: the nazis hated Catholics and all Christians, they tried banning and corrupting it but failed. This is because they were worried that Christians had too much empathy.

I'm anything but a big fan of Jehova's witnesses, but the story surrounding August Dickmann's execution really made me appreciate their commitment to pacifism.

To be fair, their commitment to pacifism is just another tool of control. The members are kept out of politics so they won't spend time or resources on serving anyone but the Governing Body^tm.

The history of the Confessing Church and Bonhoeffer's whole life's work say otherwise. The German church was one of the biggest channels of Nazi propaganda and support, especially among Lutherans.
That's why the whole Confessing Church movement was needed.

I know it's probably not him, but that guy definitely looks like one of the doctors on an old firefighter show my dad watches.

It’s Peter Falk

You got me to look him up, which also made me look up the guy I'm thinking of. Two completely different people, but I still stand by the fact that in that picture he looks, to me, like Robert Fuller.
Edit: after looking at more images, he looks less like Robert Fuller to me.

Do yourself a favor and watch a couple Columbo episodes. You’ll think you recognize pretty much everyone in them.

I'm probably not the first to point this out, and it's minor in comparison to everything else that administration is doing, but the wording is so insincere?
His heart goes out to all the Christians who loved Pope Francis, but he's not including himself in that or anyone else that wasn't Christian but still cared about him? A thoughts and prayers tweet would've been less awkward.
