When Rep steube from Florida used religion and god to justify discrimination against LGBT rights,

[still_one]

Rep Al Green set him straight:

“The most forceful comments came from Rep. Al Green (D-TX), who looked directly at Steube and told him, "You used God to enslave my foreparents. You used God to segregate me in schools. You used God to put me in the back of he bus. Have you no shame?"

9. It's funny how people are eager to tell us what God's will is.

And, it's funny how God's will is always identical to their will.
And yet, I have a strong suspicion that they really don't know God at all.

12. Their statements and behavior prove you're right.

10. Amen Congressman Green, Amen! (n/t)

[gratuitous]

11. God's a useful dodge

See, I'll bet that Rep. Steube would really, really like to treat everyone with respect and dignity, but darn the luck! God said he had to be a jerk to them, and you can't go against God, can you? For Steube, if you're not God's best friend, He'll torture you for eternity. Me? I've got enough psychos in my life without recruiting God to fill out the side.

13. Me?

I've got enough psychos in my life without recruiting God to fill out the side.

I could use that quote on occasion.

17. "Have you no shame?" being rhetorical.

Obviously.

Rep Green knew who he was talking to, didn't he?
