If Mort Divine ruled the world

What a fucking partisan shitfest.

I agree, Clinton and Obama are very partisan when it comes to addressing crimes against Christianity.

I like this name better than "Honkler" or the full "ClownPepe." Praise Clepe.

I think this crazy person invented the name Clepe but I could be wrong.

Hate to break it to you, but you guys are the ones perpetuating partisan nonsense here. Regardless of Clinton's and Obama's intentions, their tweets did nothing to erase Christians' identities or beliefs. And saying "Easter worship[p]er" isn't secular at all; claiming so is irrational.

I was joking when I said it was secular, did you lose your sense of humour in the Vox comment sections faggot?

> over 300 Christians murdered
> churches bombed
> "Easter worshippers killed on a day holy for many faiths"
> not even a mention of a church in the Tweets
> no erasure or obfuscation, move along pls

This election cycle is going to be lit.

 

[CiG]

Show me where "church" is mentioned in the Tweets.

 

[Einherjar86]

It. Doesn't. Matter.

My grandma is catholic and calls going to church on Easter.... “easter worship”

(hope Krow doesn't mind me using this)

And my point is that churches were bombed. Why the fuck do they need to mention churches? Nothing about your comments makes sense.

 

[CiG]

Hell, saying "Easter worshippers" in the same Tweet as saying it's a holy weekend for many faiths makes it even less specific.

(hope Krow doesn't mind me using this)

And my point is that churches were bombed. Why the fuck do they need to mention churches? Nothing about your comments makes sense.

Because in similar statements about attacks against Muslims and Jews they mention synagogues and mosques. Because the former leader of the free world and the almost leader of the free world should address directly an attack on an entire religion, because they do so any other time.

Words matter, remember?

 

[Einherjar86]

It doesn't matter that Christians use the phrase "Easter worship"? Seems to me that was at the center of this conversation a while back...

 

[CiG]

One example given by a guy who uses mind-altering drugs daily means nothing.

 

[Einherjar86]

Jesus Christ, do a fucking google search. This is a stupid argument, but there are plenty of hits for "easter worship" and "easter worshipers" that predate these tweets you're so fucking in love with.

 

[CiG]

I wonder if any Passover worshipppers were hurt in the bombings. After all it was a holy weekend for many faiths bro.

 

[Einherjar86]

I wonder if any twitter followers were under the impression that Christians weren't targeted during the attacks.

 

[CiG]

Did a Google search of "Easter worshipers" and went back over a dozen pages and other than cretins like Slate desperately trying to play defense for Obama and Clinton, and conservatives ranting about the bizarre new euphemism, nothing shows up other than things referring to "Easter Worship" which is a general name for church events.

For context, there are also events called Christmas Worship and Good Friday Worship and these are named for the fact that the churches hold worship on these days. Nobody would ever call people killed in a church on Christmas or Good Friday "Christmas worshipers" or "Good Friday worshipers."

Show me some examples where "Easter worshipers" was used before this, and if you try to use "Easter Worship" as an example I'm going to reject it.

I wonder if any twitter followers were under the impression that Christians weren't targeted during the attacks.

You're side-stepping the Tweets when you imply that people aren't dumb enough to not know Christians were killed. People also weren't dumb enough to think Hillary Clinton isn't a corrupt person, that doesn't excuse her corruption.

I just did a Twitter phrase search and there are 0 results for the phrase "Easter worshiper" (and with the extra 'p') before 2019.

Decided to do an advanced Google search for the phrase used between 2000 and 2018, here are the results:

"Easter worshipers"

"Easter worshippers"

Scores of Easter worshipers surged toward him, lighting their candles from his, passing the light to others.

Like other clergy, Monsignor James Flaherty, pastor of St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, near the main entrance to Pensacola Naval Air Station, wants to make Easter worshipers feel welcome.

As dawn peeked through the clouds, 300 Easter worshipers gathered in a high school stadium and praised God as the only keeper of heaven's gate.

"Jesus Christ is the gate, he's the only way. There's no UFO waiting behind a comet," Pastor Bob Botsford told 300 Easter worshipers gathered in a high school stadium near where the cult members died.

Well, fuck. I guess this was me this whole time:



I stand corrected.

So, some non-English speaking journalists and references to the Heavens Gate cult dominate. D grade Twitter team I guess. Hanlon Honk honk.

I'm sure the Twitter team was born prior to the 1997/1998 taglines for HG. Not.
