"One who oppresses the poor to increase his wealth
and one who gives gifts to the rich—both come to poverty."
— Proverbs 22:16
If our Christianity causes kids to go hungry, the sick to go without healthcare, the stranger to be unwelcome, and the needy to be treated as “parasites,” all while billionaires get richer, we’ve profoundly misunderstood the most basic elements of Jesus’ teachings.

This doesn’t have an edit button. Slipped - revealed their hearts in online posts while I sat in the pew with my two youngest sons who came here as refugees. More rot continues to be exposed and I cannot be a part of it.

What’s driving people away from Christianity are those who claim to follow Jesus, but completely ignore his teachings and use his name instead to amass wealth and political power.
I am considering converting but now this has me scared 😂

500K Mexican-Americans served in the U.S. armed forces in WWII, as did millions of 1st and 2nd-gen immigrants, and 109K noncitizens.
Mexican immigrant Macario Garcia won the Medal of Honor in Normandy. When he returned to the US, he was was arrested for trying to eat at a segregated restaurant.
Nothing more inspiring than a painting of white Jesus
