The so-called Pope once said “G-d doesn’t listen to the prayers of those who start war”

Yet this selectively twists Scripture while ignoring the full counsel of the Bible.

The G-d of Israel repeatedly commanded His people to fight just wars: from the conquest of Canaan (Joshua 6–11), to David’s victories, to the explicit command in Exodus 17:16 to wage war against Amalek “from generation to generation.” Ecclesiastes 3:8 declares there is “a time for war and a time for peace,” and Romans 13 affirms governing authorities “do not bear the sword for nothing” as G-d’s servants to punish evil.

Defensive and righteous warfare is not rejected by the Almighty — hypocritical, bloodthirsty aggression by the unrighteous is.

Meanwhile, the Catholic Church — which now lectures others — has started, blessed, or fueled far more wars, Crusades, Inquisitions, and massacres across centuries than almost any other institution in history.

Those with “hands full of blood” might want to examine their own long, bloody record before presuming to speak for the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

He is just a pure leftist…. very disappointed 😔
