I have been accused lately of talking about myself too much in X posts, which I am about to do again right now, but I don’t care because I think what I am about to say applies to so many of us.

Here goes.

I am deeply Roman Catholic.  I am a devotee of Jesus, and I follow the teachings of my Church as best I can (despite the fact that Pope Francis is a heretic who will rot in a Hell invented by Little Nicky’s brothers, yet the Church endures).  I know so many of you are from other Christian denominations, but I also know we meet at about the 85% point of faith and at our cores we all share this same devotion to living the lives Jesus taught us to live.

But here is my problem.  There are too many people on X who say stupid and sometimes dangerous things to me. Worse, I happen to have a special gift (or curse) involving a supercharged vocabulary of creative insults available to me only in the presence of abject stupidity (it’s the verbal version of the Hulk turning green, FYI) and I have a hard time not launching this gift at any available opportunity.

This does not feel very Jesus-like to me, but I cannot help myself.  Yes, I know Jesus cursed out the Pharisees and got mad as heck turning over the money-changers' tables in the Temple (plus he even got kinda salty with his Mother in the wedding at Canaan), but this feels different.

I should not feel joy at eviscerating idiots, right?  Or maybe I should?  Maybe it is Godly to use sarcasm to smite evils ideas like abortion and pedophilia and Hillary Clinton?

I am struggling with this, as I imagine many of you are as well.

How do you deal with this?

(FYI, I’m Catholic so I just go to Confession  🤪)
