(5,126 posts)However, like Jesus in the Temple, I get PISSED when people desecrate a space and feign holiness when all they are doing is making money off using God's name.
When someone says we should "hate in God's name" I refuse. To me when they condone violence against Blacks, Gays and Jews that is asking me to HATE the victim and worship the offenders because they have the power of a badge or skin color.
I stand in the space that GOD IS LOVE so to hate in His Name is completely going against God's will.
"Love one another as I have loved you" is a pretty clear directive.
I pray a LOT for those who have been deceived by the MAGAs will see the truth and be able to free themselves from this sickness.
It took me some time to forgive W and somehow I found a way to forgive (without condoning) Hitler when I learned how he had been molded as a child into his insane world view. I forgave the child who was molded. That's as far as I could go.
I am trying to find any scrap of compassion for tRump, but he hasn't ASKED for forgiveness and continues in his efforts to destroy everything around him that doesn't bow and scrape to him.
Maybe when he's dead and gone my ire will cool.
I'm not perfect by any shape or form and mostly I DO hate only the SIN and not the SINNER, but tRUMP is so ACTIVELY being abusive, it's hard to separate the two.
