The pro-ICE church is worse than you think

[Samba de Afro]

The thing is, people need to chill on this "religious freedom" stuff already . It's like they're trying to control everything under the sun, instead of just being about their faith. I mean, Jesus was all about love and compassion, not fear and intimidation . If churches are gonna promote hateful ideologies, that's not freedom, that's oppression . We need to stand up for what's right, even if it means disagreeing with someone who claims they're being persecuted . And btw, women should be able to have a say in their own lives without some dude telling them what to do . It's time for us to take back the conversation and stop letting these churches bully everyone else into silence .

I'm so sick of right-wing extremist churches trying to silence critics under the guise of "religious freedom". It's like, no one is above scrutiny just because they claim to have God on their side . These churches are basically saying that empathy and compassion are sins, which is just wrong. Women shouldn't be forced into obedience or silenced for speaking out against patriarchy .

And let's not forget about ICE recruitment - it's literally a group of men bonding over committing social acts of violence . This is what these churches are perpetuating, and it's got to stop .

The protesters who disrupted the service at Cities Church were actually ordained ministers themselves . They weren't trying to shut down a church; they were trying to speak truth to power . And you know what? Jesus would probably agree with them .

We need to call out these churches for their hateful ideologies and protect those who are being harmed by them . It's time to redefine "religious freedom" to mean the right to worship without fear of judgment or criticism, not just a shield from scrutiny . We can't let right-wing extremism silence us .

These so called 'churches' where right-wing extremism is thriving r really just using the 'religious freedom' narrative as a smokescreen to avoid accountability for their hateful ideologies. They're not interested in genuine discourse, they just want to silence anyone who dares to speak out against them . The fact that an ordained minister was arrested for disrupting a service and her faith is being used to justify the church's actions is a total non-starter . We need to call out these churches for what they are: a threat to vulnerable communities and a perversion of Christianity itself

It's so frustrating when people claim that criticizing their hateful ideologies is an attack on their right to free speech ‍. Like, no! If someone is promoting racism and sexism, they should expect to be held accountable for it . Not every Christian church is extremist, but some of these groups are like, super toxic . And the idea that Jesus would support ICE's actions? No way. He'd totally side with those protesters who were fighting against oppression . We need more people speaking out against this kind of extremism and promoting a message of love and acceptance . Let's keep calling out these churches for their hate-filled teachings and supporting those who are being harmed .

This whole thing just hits so hard, you know? Like, these right-wing extremist churches are essentially saying that as long as they're spewing hate and violence under the guise of "religious freedom", we shouldn't be allowed to call them out on it. It's like, what even is "religious freedom" if not the freedom to speak truth to power and challenge harm? These churches are just so caught up in their own toxic ideologies that they can't handle anyone questioning them, let alone being interrupted. And meanwhile, people like Renee Nicole Good are still dying at the hands of ICE agents because no one's willing to say anything about it. It's heartbreaking, man... We need to be having a conversation about what real religious freedom looks like, not just some watered-down version that lets hate groups get away with murder.
