For @thenation, I wrote about GiveSendGo, the "#1 Christian Crowdfunding Site" that is a willing haven for hate group members. The founders had some interesting things to say about welcoming the KKK:

Crowdfunding Hate in the Name of Christ
Right-wing extremists have found a safe haven on GiveSendGo, the “#1 Free Christian Crowdfunding Site.”

When I ask Heather Wilson and Jacob Wells, the founders of GiveSendGo, the “#1 Free Christian Crowdfunding Site,” whether they would host a fundraising campaign for the Ku Klux Klan, the call goes dead for a few seconds.

“Some of these campaigns are situational,” Wells finally offered.

“It would depend on what they were raising money for,” Wilson said.

The pair are siblings in their 40s, just two in a family of 12 children who grew up in Salem, N.H. Along with their sister Emmalie, they founded GiveSendGo in 2014 because, as a 2017 blog post put it, “Gofundme has taken a stance against Christians and has been taking down campaigns that they did not agree with.” The idea, Wells said, was not just to run a profitable business but to create a community where both givers and receivers could be inspired by the hope of Jesus. On the site’s clean, spare interface, the “Share Now” button is supplemented with a “Pray Now” button, allowing users to offer their devotions with a click.

On GiveSendGo, where “the most valuable currency is God’s love,” Kyle Rittenhouse, the alleged murderer of two Black Lives Matter protesters in Kenosha, Wis., netted almost $600,000 to pay his legal fees. A few months later, a page for Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio raised more than $113,000 after his arrest en route to Washington, D.C., with high-capacity magazines two days before the Capitol riot.

“Money, money greases the wheels for whatever you want to do,” Wells told me.

1. "Money greases the wheels for whatever you want to do"

Is that from the Sermon On the Mount or from Donald Trump's Twitter account?

3. Jebus would not recognize US Christianity.

ESPECIALLY AS JEBUS WAS JEWISH.
HE PREACHED TO JEWS..

Christianity is a made up religion. The tacked it on to the Bible.
