Christians are immune to irony.

  • Reads "thou shalt not kill" commandment.

  • Declares holy war on indigenous people.

This goes beyond irony blindness, this is straight cherry picking for convenience.

[–] macrocephalic@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (4 children)

The commandment is actually "you shall not murder". There's a distinct difference between killing and murdering; murder can be categorised as only a small subset of killing. I could be misled but I'm under the impression that to old testament era Jews killing a non-jew was never murder.

That kind of makes it worse...

1 Samuel 15:2-4

2 This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’

No killing! Not without permission from your governors.

They simply adjust their definition of "people" as needed.

Unlike their zombie boy, very irony

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

There might be a certain stigmata about what you said, but I think you nailed it.

[–] PutangInaMo@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Some would say my statement might... strike a nerve (or two).

Ba dum tiss

He wasn't a zombie he was a lynch. An immortal soul bound to a mortal body.

I challenge any Christian to come up with a better description.

[–] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Lich.

A lynch would be something a bit... different. A lot of wingnuts would be into that, too, mind you.

[–] Eldritch@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

They're not immune to it. They're just irony deficient. Their body can't process it. It goes into violent spasms.

[–] butt_mountain_69420@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Low IQ be like that sometimes.
