More people need to be doing this at churches. Its the easiest way to fix the free speech narratives:

"why are churches trying to ban the words of jesus?" "These are public spaces that get tax breaks for being public spaces, why is there censorship in these places"

Yes, but also, the craziest people will say either A. That the pastor should be the one preaching (like the people in this case did) or B. That that’s really just politics (even if you’re literally quoting there Bible), and politics should stay out of the church

Sure the media will say things. But like half of these maga chuds go to church. Its about making them question the media by affecting their churches. When the media is lying about things they can see, it makes them doubt.
