Fox News host Sean Hannity dedicated a segment of his Thursday show to deliver a message to Pope Leo XIV, suggesting he and others at the Vatican had totally lost sight of the true meaning of the bible and its teachings.

I have never agreed with Hannity before, but I have to agree with him here.

The Bible is full of bloody mayhem, and Jesus was not a peacemaker. He promised to come back and murder everybody.

The only people that think Jesus is a kind hippy are people who haven't read the Bible. This image has been used by the church to dupe secular society since their fall from grace, but it's a falsehood.

Yup. In Jesus' own words:

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.

Matthew 10:34-36

When the preachers read from the bible they only choose very specific passages, and ignore any that don't support the point they want to make.

They know 89% of the people listening won't ever bother to read it themselves.

Its nothing more than simple manipulation.
