It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

The Pope didn't even say anything incorrect at all in the video. He didn't explicitly say the boy's dad went to heaven, just said that God smiles upon the dad's act of baptizing his children. What, was the Pope supposed to tell the kid that his baptism didn't count and God looks down at him with scorn like some kind of illegitimate child?
If you don't baptize the kid with holy water from the Champagne region of Heaven, you don't get embraced with God's True Love. You just get sparkling salvation.
I do get the joke, but because we're obsessed with making people Catholic we can technically use any water, any liquid in an emergency.
It wasn't an emergency, but I made 60% of a Catholic once by blessing 80 proof rum and performing a baptism upon request at a party
yes. sins of the father and all
I mean, if we're supposed to take religion seriously as anything other than the purposefully explicit backdrop of bigoted fascism, then yes words should mean things.
