I'm protestant too. I'm reading through Ezekiel right now
I didn't make the lists. I also don't think The Shack belongs in the OP list but it's not under my control

I just said that. The secular state should be small scale and decentralized. Only the church is the sole organization/political body that's unified worldwide.
Dylan Thompson
You just said it was its wetdream you faggot
I'm saying Catholicism yearns for empire building.
Carson Rogers
That "bishop" is a hack.
Hudson King
That's what I juuuust said, Chad. The church may figuratively "empire build", in being the only worldwide organization. The secular state and other bodies may not.
Nathaniel Edwards
And that's what I, twice now, just said was wrong.
Hunter Nelson

And that's why there's never been a Catholic Empire ever, and why the Spanish never went to the Americas. For fucks sake you Catholics need to stop your LARPing and read both The Bible and some history. You guys have this weird vision of the Catholic Church entirely removed from reality
Jaxson Perez
He also said he hated allegory; yet set the novels on a prehistoric earth, with the shire being where modern England is located, and all the aggressive evil emerging from the south east for conquest.
Josiah Adams
Yeah it's almost as if that wasn't allegorical.
Nathan Cruz
That's like countering charges that the orcs are stand-ins for the Ottomans, by saying the orcs emerged from what would eventually become turkey in tolkein's universe.
