So the first angel went and poured his bowl on the earth, and a foul and painful sore came on those who had the mark of the beast and who worshipped its image.

Matthew 23:24

Then if anyone says to you, “Look! Here is the Messiah!” or “There he is!”—do not believe it. 24 For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and produce great signs and omens, to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.

If people on the Right want to claim a Christian high ground, then quote the book that matters most to them.

That book only matters to them insofar as they can use to it to control others.

Matthew 25:35, separating the goats and sheep, outlines how Jesus would judge people at the end times. These are the questions:

Did you clothe me?
Did you feed me?
Did you visit me in jail?
Did you help me when I was a foreigner in a strange land?

We must show the modern hypocrisy and how people have fallen astray from their own values. They must be reminded of the values that got us here. If this book is how they truly ground their lives, then there is no way to deny it.

Either they accept Christ’s message or they don’t. I don’t care who asks these questions: they are good moral questions.

This is why I've recently started liking religion more and more. There's genuine good moral pointers and good texts to reflect on there.

Sad a loud voice has to ruin it. At least the church here is LGBT safe and accepting which I'm thankful for.

John 13:34-35

34 I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.’

This was said by Jesus before he was betrayed by Judas. This same notion is shared by many other holy prophets.

The Buddha taught that all living beings experience suffering, and therefore, compassion should be extended to everyone without discrimination.
The Prophetﷺ set a crucial example to the Muslims: that there is far greater value in forgiveness than in revenge. And that the remedy for injustice and the cycle of abuse is moving the community forward, as one whole, together.

I don’t want to give up on humans. I don’t want to be a bitter person. Maybe my morals will be my ruin, but if so, I know I will have lived a compassionate life of love.

As a human, I hate the actions going on in the US and around the world. As a spirit, I feel compelled to find love and champion it.

Peace be to you, homie. 💜
