Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde
This is what a religious leader looks like and sounds like.
With tremendous courage, guided by her faith that she addressed the Felon. In the name of God, she asks for the disenfranchised, the poor, the migrants, the LGBTQ community and ALL of us.
She is not beholden to billionaires and oligarchs. She is a shepherd of her flock, caring for all those who have no voice.
And a Woman!
Please join me in thanking her. If applicable, ask your own religious leaders to stand up and speak!
May loving kindness extend to all!

(20,767 posts)"Kicked" meaning I responded specifically in order to kick the thread into possible 'milestone' status so that it hopefully gets more exposure, and "Recommended" because I hit the "rec" button to recommend this OP to be read by others.

(11,056 posts)I thought it was a great sermon. He commented on his way out that it wasn't "exciting".
Was he looking for? Fire and brimstone directed against the evil Democrats?
I wonder how many times in his life that jerk has darkened the threshold of a church?
Only when obligated, I'm sure.

First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
