I just think it’s interesting that anyone would try to use the gospel to try and validate anything that Kirk would have said!

I believe it is a King quote - King’s inspiration for it was referencing John 1 I believe

That’s more than just an MLK quote, it’s also a reference to John chapter 1. I’m also unclear on how Kirk would react to an actual reference to the Gospel

I know someone else that died from suicidal empathy - Jesus Christ. There was a time when compassion was a virtue. I pray we learn it again.

One of the oldest forms of religious hypocrisy is people using God to justify the kind of actions against others that they themselves would cry out to God in agony if those same actions were carried out against them.

The United Church of Christ joins the World Council of Churches and others in the ecumenical community in strongly condemning the Israeli attack on Iran. The escalation of aggression challenges peace and stability in the region at a time when war continues in Gaza.

War is not a response to the peace we seek. We continue to pray for peace and for an end to the suffering.

Shame on her for using Jesus’ name to deflect her lack of compassion for those who cannot afford healthcare. I would call that blasphemy.
