    Who gives a fuck?

    Most Americans can’t keep the various Christian church leader names straight.

    There’s so much shit worse they’re doing. And more important going on…

    But some Jesus freak somewhere got mad you didn’t call his sky daddy’s bf the right label?

      Imagine if someone bragged about how big of a Star Wars fan they were, and they referred to Jar Jar Binks as a Jedi.

        or that star trek was their favorite show, and when presented with different versions of the enterprise asked, in earnest, which one was the millennium falcon

      When you’re trying to pander to a certain demographic you don’t want to call their most important guy by the wrong title

        Hey, what do I know?

        I thought growing up in a place that’s voted >90% Republican (with the exception of 08 Obama) populated exclusively by different flavors of Christians would give me unique insight into how much the Republican base would care the wrong title was used.

        Which is not at all because everyone uses their own title because it’s confusing as fuck and no one has ever given a single fuck.

        But apparently I was wrong, because it’s obviously not people down voting what they don’t want to hear, that would never happen.

          Did you go to church? Cause I grew up protestant, if someone called our pastor “priest” I would immediately know they weren’t one of us.

          From your initial comment I gather you don’t like Christianity, which is fine with me, I’m an atheist now. But the joke of OP is that you can give yourself away without realizing it because of a tiny detail.

          In the movie screenshot the guy indicates “three” using a hand sign that’s different if you’re from different places. Same with calling the Pope “pastor”. It gives away that Vance isn’t really one of them. And the point of making public statements like Vance did are to endear you to the intended audience.

      This man’s name is a lie!

      But in seriousness, your apathy is what they want. Keep calling them on thier hypocrisy. Keep pointing out when they look dumb. Keep being the thorn in their crown
