Many people who identify as "Christian" may find Rev. Budde's words strange and unfamiliar. That's because they're based on the philosophy espoused by Jesus.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

The Evangelicals are responsible for electing Donald Trump.
Twice.
If anyone can tell me how the life of a ‘Christian’ remotely resembles the life of Jesus, I’d like to know.
(WARNING: THIS IS A JOKE 😐)
At least this woman told him to his face.
WE WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK FROM THEM!
You just happen to ignore pro slavery, pro sexism etc. stuff.
Just like the Catholic Church behaved in the Renaissance and Mediaval.
Jesus and Christianity are more often used as justification for persecution of LGBTQ+, women, Jews, and all other marginalized groups.
christians are driving forces in the Nazi takeover.
stop giving them credit.
That said Jesus would've wrecked their shit for using him as justification for said acts. Man was flipping over using the church to sell greedy merchandise and disrespecting
His followers have brought us nothing but violence and murder in his name for 2,000 years.
We can do much better.
I'm saying if Jesus existed he would have thrown hands. I had to study the bible and the fictional Jesus would not have stood for this crap. Hence why using him for justification for hurting others is nonsense.
don't get me started on North America native genocide and Manifest Destiny.
who's the ass here?
Then going on to ASSUME I don't fucking know history. Fuck off.
Harry Potter's anger is just as useless.
And his next set of EOs will prove that assertion.

A lot of us already knew that, but her audience didn't!
I suspect they really don't know what Jesus stood for?
I do, and it is why I am not a church goer!
An excuse to keep cheap labour?
Don’t look away
Or hide your eyes
Don’t kneel or pray
Or philosophise
Stare straight ahead
Stare them down
Make them regret
They crowned that clown
I know you're scared
So am i
But I need you to care
Cos your worlds on fire
