It's time to call the RW Christian Evangelicals on their encouragement of this violence.

Time for any really serious Christians to vote with their tithes and offerings and take them away from the MAGA-churches as they spread their venom against women, minorities, and LBGTQ. These people are actually religious zealots and terrorists.

including but not limited to evangelicals. But further calling out has to be done by their own leaders, by their fellow parishioners and, notably, by those who decline to associate with certain congregations because they disapprove of the messages, not by outsiders.

Most RW "Christian" Evangelicals are nothing more then a bunch of drooling, knuckle dragging, flat earthers...who have lost any ability to think for themselves!

Why expect them to do what is right...when they haven't yet!!!

I hear what you're saying, but it's extremely difficult to un-brainwash people. Especially when their entire community is under the control of the death-cult; they have completely normalized hatred.

Jesus would be seriously pissed off about these people.

all you have to do is take a walk through the parking lot and observe all the bumper stickers... "Hillary for Prison," "Lock her up," "Obama/Satan 2012" and the like. And plenty of red hats, even at church.

If he starts losing these folks he's done.

Remember that the majority of Christians who voted in 2016 cast their ballots for Trump. Most of them would jump at the chance to do it again. Trump and the other Republicans would be nowhere without the Christians.

Just ask any LGBT peep or anyone that works at Planned Parenthood.

All this hate. All this violence. It's all about economic survival of the church. They make tons of money using me and my peeps as focal points for hate, e.g.,

"We need to keep fighting these abominations! We need your help!" Maybe 5% goes to homophobic media ads etc.; the rest goes in the leader's pockets.

You don't even want to read what they say about us trans peeps. I sure as hell don't want to see that complete and utter nonsense in print.

Being an intense Christian that does not hate is a good thing. It's not the belief system i despise; it's the hate.

It's time to call these hateful groups on their BS. People that have been spreading lies must be called on the public carpet and the world must know of their duplicity. In all faiths, in all religions.
