As a Christian, I just can’t imagine hearing all the lies and demonization regarding immigrants, women, people with disabilities, people from other religions, the nonreligious, FEMA, and more, and somehow conclude, “yes, this is how Jesus would want us to engage with the world.”
Lost in all the lies and conspiracies is the fact that a large portion of Americans believe there’s a group of people so desperately hungry they’ve resorted to eating household pets and their response is “deport them!” or “lock them up!” rather than “let’s get them some food.”
Jesus' harshest words were directed towards those who used their religion as a tool of oppression and self serving power.
Jesus' harshest words were directed towards religious hypocrisy.
Not the poor, the immigrant, or the unbeliever.
May we remember this.
Christian Nationalism is destroying our country and it’s time for Christians to call it what it is. A plague that is destroying the beautiful message of the Gospel of Jesus https://t.co/cCRQOuzjzs

Christianity should look like a preoccupation with loving others as ourselves, not an obsession with how others are not abiding by our own personal beliefs and how they should conform immediately.
