I haven’t really looked for a full transcript of the sermon, but this is the reported thing she said on her wiki:
“Millions have put their trust in you. And as you told the nation yesterday, you have felt the providential hand of a loving God. In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy on the people in our country who are scared now.”
if this is legit what has them furious, it’s so absurdly predictable. there is nothing on this earth that conservative Christendom hates more than being told by a spiritual leader with limited temporal power to be more compassionate and have mercy on the weak during their political triumphs.
a caricature of the devil could show up and start eating babies on main street, and they would ignore it to run a 5 mile obstacle course just for the opportunity to kick an unhoused, unwed mother in the face for making eye contact.
imagine being so weak and fragile in your victory that an appeal to mercy for the powerless sends you and your camp into a rage spiral.
:a-guy: The Council of Nicaea and its consequences have been a disaster for the Christian religion. They have greatly increased the number of Christians who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world.
I’m jokingly referring to the union of the Roman State with Christians by Constantine as the ideological source of Christian violence. When Christians use the state to violently suppress doctrine disagreement, as they did with the Arianism, they effectively become the Pharisees they deplore.

Hmm…you blame Nicea, when Capitalism is more nascent.

Constantine converting to Christianity has the same exact energy as some FBI director going, “Maybe MLK had a point.”
Just don’t look up her opinions on “Israel”…
I’m sure there was plenty of twitter normies spamming “mercy is for the weak!” in response.
