Because the vehicle exists?

Maalus@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

No, because the dude got shot without it.

EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

That’s why the vehicle exists, but it provided more protection than god because it exists.

You'd think god would protect the pope so they wouldn't need bulletproof glass.

Almost like the pope doesn't trust him or ... gasp, doesn't believe it to exist.

Man was in a terrible flood and climbed up to the roof to avoid the water that kept rising. He was very religious and so when a boat came by and offered hep he said, " God will save me" and refused to go. The water rose higher and a jetski came by and offered to help, but again the man said, "God will save me". The water rose even higher and a helicopter came by and lowered a ladder, and again he refused and said "God will save me". The waters kept rising, swept the man into the flood and he drowned.

In heaven, the man speaks to God and says" why didn't you save me?"

God replies, "I sent a boat, a jetski and a helicopter! What more did you want?"

God gave us the power to make the popemobile. Checkmate atheists.

Did he suggest an alternate term, or just say 'stop calling it that'?

dukk@programming.dev · 65 pts · 2y (1 reply)

As stated clearly in the article, the term is not “popemobile”, but rather “undignified”.

Does anyone in that cult ever suggest alternatives, or just say ‘Don’t do that’?

If everything in his crackpot sandstorm hallucination of a religion is correct I imagine his toes are quite toasty about now.
