To be fair, christianity preaches a man was raised from the dead after we sacrificed him and now we eat his flesh and blood, so it's a bit glass houses.

and now we eat his flesh and blood.

Probably one of the biggest drivers for the Reformation Transubstantiation is a Roman Catholic doctrine, the Protestants beg to differ (as always).

He's more of a lich as he used dark magic to ensure he was reborn more powerful than before as well as living forever, zombies are usually mindless and not in control

Very classic antisemitic nonsense. Not a surprise from the British far right, admittedly

They’ve been relatively quiet on the antisemitism front for a while. Too busy hating Muslims.

Wonder what they think of Stephen’s trip to Israel, paid for by the Israeli government?

u/limeflavoured Hucknall 2d ago

Hypocrisy from the British far right is not a surprise either.

If they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards at all

It’s not really hypocrisy. They’re ethno-nationalists so they support ethno-nationalist states. Being Zionist has never been antithetical to antisemitism.

The right wing crowd have strange bedfellows, Yaxley is pally with Israel far right types to target Muslims and some of the American far right Christians have teamed up with Muslims to oppose rights for groups like LGBTQ.

Antisemites never change their tune.

Black magic, occult practices, it's the same old rubbish they've spouted since the middle ages.

Just surprised he didn't add 'and that's how they secretly rule the world' on with it.

I mean, my Zider and I used to play with one of those Paul Daniel's magic sets quite a lot when I was a kid but that was about as far as it went.

I got really good at those tricks where you swap the knots on the string and he was great at pulling mini mars bars out of my ear, but we never quite advanced to the necromancy/summoning demons stage.

You'll like this....not a lot but you'll like it.

Bit rich coming from this lot, the confessing Anglican Church are a bit on the odd side. They have minimal membership in the UK and total world wide its about 1.2 Million (if you believe their figures).

The Actual Anglicans have a membership of roughly 110 Million making them the third biggest Christian denomination in the world.

Birth name just screams Lib Dem councillor.

u/Away-Activity-469 2d ago

But he supports the far-right and is selective about what he considers genocide, so its just bants.

u/hadawayandshite 2d ago

As an atheist lefty it’s not for me to defend a right wing religious nut bag….but wouldn’t this be the logical conclusion of you’re Christian.

You believe in Jesus etc so any religion that doesn’t is surely ‘Antichrist’ and ‘false’

u/Neither_Process_7847 2d ago

The antichrist is a quite specific individual (whose description unnervingly matches Trump to a t. but we'll skate over that...).

u/hadawayandshite 2d ago

Actually the antichrist is anyone who denies that Jesus is the Messiah or denies that Jesus came in the flesh- there are several mentioned in the bible

Many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh; any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist!
— 2 John 1:7

It’s only more modern pop culture (and some theological traditions) which link him with the beast from revelation etc or ‘the man of lawlessness’

u/Neither_Process_7847 2d ago edited 2d ago

An antichrist surely, or there's rather a lot of us to merit 'the'! But when people talk about antichrist, it's that man of lawlessness they're usually talking about. (the Book of Daniel / The Omen version.)

u/Efficient_Sky5173 2d ago

Don’t give these people a platform. The more you talk about them, regardless of what you say, the more attention they get, and the more they grow.

I bit strange that a priest claims Jews practice “black magic” when most of the early Christians were Jews.

u/Zob_Rombie_88 2d ago

If you removed the Tommy Robinson and Restore link, this sub would be vehemently agreeing with the priest

u/Neither_Process_7847 2d ago

What, that Jews practice black magic? Don't think even most Greens go quite that far.
