"Don't bring a gun to a protest!"

American Christians- Protesting in a church is wrong!

Literally Jesus Christ Himself-

I wonder what Jesus thought about this issue.

You're assuming that they know the first damn thing about their strongly held lifelong beliefs about the nature of reality.

...why hold back from saying it though?

I get it. There's social friction in that kind of altercation, but fear of that social friction is a contributing factor for the current state of things.

Sure, you can't walk out on your job to start protesting in the streets because for all practical intents and purposes everyone is a single paycheque away from financial ruin, but Jesus Christ people, you can stand up to the batty woman in your local parish telling you that trans people are grooming children.

Yes, there are social consequences, but the line needs to be drawn somewhere, right? Are you seriously going to tell me that quiet acquiescence is preferable to ostracism from a sexist/racist/homophobic/etc social circle?

There are countless tiny opportunities to stand up and none of them are easy, but we're long past the point where they're necessary.

Shoulda said it.

Wild how Jesus' struggle against the Pharisees gets ignored by many modern Christians. If they'd take a second to look their leaders in the mirror they'd recognize the same methods of control guiding them today.

LOL are these the same people that have turned their churches into campaign organs for their party?

That is what I want to see, when people say that we need more "religious education".

If these motherfuckers had any semblance of a conscience, they'd be protesting their fascist pastor in their goddamn church. And what's even more rich is how some of them insisted to Don Lemon: "There's a whole bunch of different opinions in this church."

Oh yeah, bitch? Then get on that microphone and ask that piece of refuse why he's helping ICE round up innocent and legal American citizens. The majority opinion of the country is that this is an atrocity, so it should be easy, if any of you really feel that way.

I hope they all get ass cancer.

Just indulge them for a moment.

Luther protested right outside of the church like a good boy

I agree with the sentiment, but the word “protestieren” signified “to attest” and not “to protest” (but as a Protestant myself, I do believe that protests have a place within Church, go my American sisters and brothers!).

That would make more sense if it were church members protesting against the policies of their own church.
