@OasisforMars@BethMooreLPM I find it amazingly hypocritical that the people who adore this man have no problem with what he said. As a Christian, I find it appalling. If I believe in what he said, then I should feel his death is worth it so I can have my guns, right?
@BethMooreLPM I can’t help but wonder what your thoughts are on his recent comment after the Catholic school children were murdered. He said, “It’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment.”
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Thing is, we have to really be careful about who we hate. Because 10 times out of 10, it’s going to be somebody Jesus loves. And he has a way of taking it personally.
@DaisyFuentes@JerseyNE@richardmarx Until the day comes when I have to shave my head because of a medical condition (which would be devastating to me, personally), I won’t be passing judgement on how it would feel to be the butt of any joke. Now, if it were my daughter… He’d at least have my drink in his face.
Gospel: Jesus showed a deep desire to heal people. When a man with leprosy asks if he wants him to be healed, Jesus says, "I do will it" (Mk 1). God wants us to care for our bodies, which includes receiving medical care (and vaccines). It's part of reverencing what God created.
@WarrenDavidson Exploiting of the tragedy of all people who between 1933-45 suffered, were humiliated, tortured & murdered by the totalitarian regime of Nazi Germany in a debate about vaccines & covid limitations in the time of global pandemic is a sad symptom of moral and intellectual decay.
If we are in Christ, it is unconscionable for us to in any way politicize this virus. What on earth are we doing??? Our sides are not more important than lives. We are Jesus people called to serve sacrificially. For the love of God, we gotta love our neighbors. Even our enemies!
Let me be clear: there's no serious comparison between voting laws in Colorado and Georgia.
Colorado is a vote-by-mail state — we send every registered voter a ballot. We also have same day voter registration.
Oh, and you can hand out water in line.
I can imagine no other president in my lifetime failing to address the nation in a prime time speech during a crisis such as this. On the other hand, I cannot imagine another president whose words would be less welcome by so many of his fellow citizens.
