There is a different kind of Christian than those trafficking in cruelty.

We are such people.

We are Christians who believe a faith without mercy and empathy is fraudulent, heretical, and devoid of Jesus.

Today’s “Christians” traffic in cruelty. Including the Pope and Catholics.

For too long I sat in MAGA churches.

I now see it was never really about Jesus.

It was about white nationalism and power.

For three straight election cycles, they have strongly supported Trump.

They stand prideful & arrogant with their prop bibles while he ruins lives of “those people”.

Try as I may, as someone who calls herself a Christian (follower of Jesus Christ), I can not wrap my mind around those who call mercy, diversity, equality and inclusion against the teachings of Christ.

Lose the religion. Just be good humans who have and believe in empathy and mercy. Anyone needing some imaginary, non existent being, or belief in such, to have those qualities isn't doing it for the right reasons. Do so to be a good person.

I left faith in 2016.

I know you have been tireless. But where are these other good christians and why don't they speak up?

I think we can all agree that Trump and his followers are like a resounding gong or clanging symbol.

Loveless. Joyless.

I believe you, but I'm still overwhelmingly infuriated at how many aren't like you.

Not sure how much any of it has to do w your religion. Rather, it's the kind of people you are to begin with.

Yes and no. People have certain tendencies "to begin with," and then they are shaped by their upbringing and various influences.

Christian teaching has taken different forms, and they influence people's views of what God commands.

Why are they so silent and seemingly few?

Yes. 👇👇👇

Someone I actually like said to me: “They are changing the sex of children without parents knowing.” Like doctors are allowed to operate on underage patients without consent.

No one has a lick of critical thinking in their toolkit.

Deep gratitude for all that you are, do, and embody - for your whole-hearted, kind, wise support of the marginalized, victimized, persecuted, and disenfranchised - who most need acknowledgement, non-judgemental acceptance, understanding & steady uplifting.

Heaps of blessings upon you.
