I think we all remember the story of Jesus being approached by the Syro-Phoenician woman, and how he told her to fuck off, humiliating her in front of everyone because she wasn't Jewish. Oh wait, he didn't do that after all. Don't blame God for your prejudice and bigotry.

If you can't perform the duties of your job, perhaps you should resign. You're not just a judge for the people you like, you're a judge for all the citizens of Toledo.
