"He who lives by the sword dies by the sword." (Matt 26:52)
It's amazing how few people simply say...
"War is wrong. It's a sin. At its best (its very best) it's a last ditch effort at defending the innocent."
This current war violates every principle of the just war theory.

Maga "Jesus"
Then Jesus said to the stranger,
You don't belong here.
And to the sick,
You better have insurance.
And then he said to the hungry,
My taxes better not be paying for Snap benefits.
And to the poor,
This is your own fault.

Is it mainly the tenor of my own feeds...or is the hypocrisy of Trumpian "religion" getting called out publicly more and more insistently by actual Christians?
