In a nutshell:

[Jacob Simburger @JacobSimburger]

Jesus would never support Trump.

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

There are really terrible things happening all around us and we want to comfort those who are hurting, but please resist the urge to respond to people’s pain with platitudes like: “This is all a part of God’s plan.”

It’s not helpful and it also isn’t true. God is not omnicausal, meaning that he does not orchestrate every earthly event.

Claiming that God causes all human actions, including evil, is a perversion of God’s character and incompatible with God’s core characteristic of love.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Of course, I am troubled by Trump, but I am even more troubled by the Christians who defend him.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Selfishness and bigotry have been rebranded as patriotism and Christian virtues.

[Mason Mennenga @masonmennenga]

you miss a lot of the gospel if you think the miracles of jesus were only to prove he was god instead of people should be fed and healed

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

Them: “Keep Christ in Christmas!”

Me: Spends the holidays…
- Taking naps
- Making wine
- Partying with sinners
- Flipping tables of oppression
- Rebuking hypocritical religious people
- Loving absolutely everyone without qualification

Them: “Wait. No, not like that.”

@jakehsnider Thanks for the info. It’s time I switch over then 👍 appreciate it

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.

I have a question for girl dads who voted for Trump,

You say it’s your job to protect her.

So if a year from now, she is lying in a hospital bed dying from sepsis after being denied miscarriage care, what will you say when she asks you why you didn’t protect her from Trump?

[Scott Barber @thescottbarber]

I tend to think God doesn’t care very much at all about who won some sandspeck of an election. He does care about how we treat those on the margins of society.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

When Christians can’t even acknowledge the sins of the person they support as president, let alone demand they repent from them, they reveal to the world that they have traded all moral and theological integrity for the sake of political power.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

I’m white. I’m straight. I’m a man. I’m Christian. And I’m voting for Kamala Harris.

@TanookiKuribo Makes sense. Love that internal advertising stuff. Thanks!
