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.

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

Jesus would be seriously pissed off about these people.

If he starts losing these folks he's done.

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.
