@TomiLahren For sure. We should definitely continue to shun/stigmatize/reject people who are other than us. Who gives a shit about them, right? Certainly not our Jesus. Wait, or did He get killed because He treated the stigmatized with dignity? Yes, He did. Sickening, repulsive, repugnant.
@PastorMark Sweet lady, I’m sure. But on Good Friday, God in the flesh showed us his response to unjust sinful wickedness… he capitulated, refused to retaliate, and died. If you can learn to locate God on the cross on Good Friday, much of your confusion will be unclouded.
True justice requires that we come to terms with the fact that Black Americans are treated differently, every day & requires us to do the sometimes thankless, often difficult, but always necessary work of making the America we know more like the America we believe in @BarackObama
“With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high? ...Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”

“The only clear line I draw these days is this: when my religion tries to come between me and my neighbor, I will choose my neighbor…Jesus never commanded me to love my religion.”
