Hahaha. Hearing @JoeBiden criticize anti-Semitic slogans and blame it on Republicans when his voters and his party are the ones supporting Jewish genocide is the height of hypocrisy. #DemocraticConvention
It's crazy how this "pastor" loves to post stuff that purposely mischaracterizes people he disagrees with while he most of the time tries to explain nuance to those same people.
He's not very self aware.
“The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for.
They never make demands of you.
They are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor.
They don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct.
Unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy.
Unlike orphans hey don’t need money, education, or childcare.
Unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike.
They allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships.
And when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.
You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone.
They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe.
Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

The percentage, per capita, of trans identifying individuals shooting kids and Christians is disturbing.
They're less half a percentage and have intentionally planned and shot up churches and schools at an alarming rate.
This is what happens when mental illness isn't treated.
As a Christian, the only correct response to the #HeGetsUs is something akin to, "Hey, if you saw that commercial and you have questions about Jesus and you're in my area let's talk, or let me know and I can find someone who can."
Even if you disagree with it.
Put Taylor Swift, E. Jean Carroll, Hillary Clinton, Greta Thunberg, Liz Cheney, Nancy Pelosi, Letitia James, Fani Willis, Rosie O’Donnell, Ruby Freeman, Shaye Moss, Cassidy Hutchinson, Bette Midler & Stormy Daniels in a luxury box at the Super Bowl and watch MAGA lose their fucking minds.
I would argue it's "pastors" who are more interested in theology or politics and stuff like that and not the Bible and Jesus (both conservative or liberal).
This guy and people who claim to be pastors like him are great examples of why I believe the church is failing.
If you’re interested in what is driving the mass exodus from church in America (40 million in the last 25 years) look no further than stuff like this.
People are leaving because so many Christians and so many churches are so unlike Christ, especially toward LGBTQ+ folks.
