Oh Lord, protect me(us) from your fundie followers.. [View all]

Protect us from those who invade women's bodies with their bullshit so-called "pro-life" rhetoric.

Protect us from any and all racism, especially those who use their religion as a racist weapon.

Protect us from homophobic bigots. I am a 50 year old gay man diagnosed with HIV 20 years ago. I am very healthy but have also survived 2 pandemics. HIV and COVID. I had covid in March 2020. I lost 25% of my breathing function. Likely permanently. I lost half of my sense of taste and smell.

Protect us from your covidiot fundie anti-vax deniers.

Protect us from your anti-science fundamentalist idiots. Jesus, you know the folks. The morons that flunked out of 8th grade science. Their last venture into scientific education.

Protect us from your Fascist followers.

Protect us from banksters and the capitalists that grow the wealth divide and widen the poverty gap.

Protect us from the racists who weaken democracy with voter restriction bills AND from the DINO's that enable them.

Help us, Oh Lord.

Your people are suffering.
