So I have received feedback asking me why I dog Christians, which I say, “I don’t dog Christians, I dog prejudice people and most of the Christians I come across here in Texas are prejudice.” The Christian church wasn’t always this way. There was a time when the Christian church was above it all. There was a time the Christian faith didn’t consider itself the strong arm of the Donald Trump Republican Party, but the strong arm of Jesus Christ, and if you really, really, really, really, believe in Jesus, you can’t be a Republican — or Democrat for that matter, but definitely not the party of hate and white supremacy. Need proof? READ THE BIBLE ASS WHOLE:
Nehemiah 13:23-30
In those days also I saw the Jews who had married women of Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab. And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and they could not speak the language of Judah, but only the language of each people. And I confronted them and cursed them and beat some of them and pulled out their hair. And I made them take oath in the name of God, saying, “You shall not give your daughters to their sons, or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves. Did not Solomon king of Israel sin on account of such women? Among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was beloved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless, foreign women made even him to sin. Shall we then listen to you and do all this great evil and act treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?” ....
Never mind.
Speaking of prejudice people, on this day (March 5th) in 1854, the magnificent obelisk that is the Washington Monument became the subject of hate. A group of anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant political agitators who called themselves the American Party or “Know-Nothings” got their panties in a wad because Pope Pius IX donated a black marble stone from the ruins of the Roman Forum. The Know-Nothings saw the papal gift as a loathsome declaration of the Vatican’s intent to control the United States through the mass influx of Catholic immigrants.
So, much as they do at Trump Rallies today, a group of thugs got together on this day in 1854 and snatched away the Vatican stone... some were even chanting “Lock Him Up” — I’m guessing. The Popes gift was never seen again outside the stones walls of certain secret societies.
Sound Familiar?
