I want to speak directly to the churchgoers... the ones who proclaim their love for God and Jesus while simultaneously casting votes that uphold cruelty, inequality, and systemic oppression. What scripture are you actually reading? Because the version you seem to live by doesn’t reflect love, compassion, or justice. It reflects control, exclusion, and punishment.
The truth is, the Bible (so often weaponized in defense of these actions) is one of the most contradictory and divisive texts in literary history. It’s been used to justify slavery, colonialism, homophobia, misogyny, and war. It’s a book that has both inspired acts of mercy and, just as often, incited unspeakable cruelty... all in the name of a deity whose core teaching was supposedly love.
And those self-righteous believers, the ones quick to quote verses while turning their backs on the hungry, the refugee, the poor, and the marginalized... they're not just misguided. They are willfully blind. Their hatred for anyone who doesn’t mirror their worldview is so entrenched, so normalized, that even if God spoke truth directly through someone else’s mouth, they’d reject it out of fear and pride.
You can’t reason with that kind of moral stubbornness. You can’t expect empathy from people who have fused their egos with religion and think their bigotry is divinely approved. Logic won’t reach them. Facts won’t touch them. Only karma; only the spiritual consequences of their ignorance and indifference can address the rot festering beneath their pious exteriors. Until then, their godliness remains hollow, their faith performative, and their moral compass irretrievably broken.
