Couple of things:
1. Pretty sure y’all tried that on or about April 12, 1861, and got your shit wrecked.

2. The Southern Baptist Convention was organized in 1845 in Augusta, GA, because Baptists in the slaveholding South wanted a church to validate their enslavement of humans. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1151880834737160192
3. Regarding welfare states: Deuteronomy, a giant list of rules, specifically commands that portions of every third annual harvest must be set aside for strangers, foreigners, orphans, widows, and poor people.

The God of Abraham and Isaac right now:
4. In the Temple Sermon, the prophet Jeremiah, second only to Jonah in righteous rage, hollered with his whole chest that you better not dare “oppress the foreigner” and think you’re God’s people.

Jeremiah, re: your “send her back” headassery:
5. My ministry is to tell Sister Bertha Betterthanyou and Brother Hank Holyroller to quit thumping their Bibles and open that fucker.

A lot of y’all say you’re Christians, followers of Christ, but it’s pretty clear you have not met Him.

Jesus, about all y’all racists:
6. If you don’t do the reading, don’t defend the orphan, support the widow, welcome the foreigner, then it’s not Christianity.

It’s American folk religion. It’s white supremacy with hymns. It’s a cult, y’all.

Do. The fuckin. Reading.

Me, to all y’all:
Jeremiah 7:5-7 CLEARLY states, the price you pay for living in a richly blessed place is to TAKE CARE OF PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LIKE YOU.
In Matthew 25:31-40, Jesus Himself told you to treat EVERYBODY like they are Him in disguise.

Poor people. Foreigners. Criminals. Disabled people. Different people. People who make you uncomfortable. People who challenge your ideas of who is deserving of charity.
Jesus: Here’s what I want: Love them, as I’ve loved you. Take care of them. Don’t judge them.

Y’all: But Jesus! They’re gay, or Muslim, or brown, or don’t worship You like we do! You don’t mean *love* them, do you?

Jesus, in Matthew 25:41-46:
DID I FUCKING STUTTER???
You want to follow Christ? Purify your temples. Exile your heretics, your Falwells, your Pences. Abide not this perversion of Christ’s message. There are babies dying in cages and raping racists running the show.

Get like Jesus and FLIP SOME FUCKIN TABLES.
One last thing.

Twitter rants aren’t enough. Our president is a stochastic terrorist, and he has whipped up a dangerous and violent fury in rabid racists.

I won’t abide that.
