I need to hear more how People of Faith are finding their conscience and I fear so much of Christianity has been co-opted by the Prosperity Hoax.
It’s hard to hear the things I was taught as a child are mocked for being “Woke”. The only Anger I remember hearing of Jesus was vented on the Money-changers. And in our day they have perverted the whole message to take control of people’s lives and rob them of their Free Will in their desire to impose their Dominance Delirium on our Society.
So thank you for adhering to the Spirit of Christianity. I wish I knew more people like you.
