    I would want to be included for excluding white supremacists.

      Come in, come in… and let me tell you about just how unlikely it is that there were a bunch of white dudes in Jerusalem 2000 years ago named Mathew, John, Luke, Peter, Simon, and Thomas… also do unto others, kindness to the poor… basically you’re gonna fucking hate this shit but come in.

        Is this a joke? Please tell me you’re not that dense. Those names have different iterations across different languages. Michael in Russian is Mikhael. Matthew in Spanish is Mateo. Peter in Spanish is Pablo. Names that are derived from meaning in its original language don’t stay the same across languages.

        Churches have been cozy with white supremacists for a long time.

          Doesn’t really matter, if a group is founded on hate… hate is all it will produce. Even if it’s people deemed “deserving”, it is consuming and horrible and drains any joy out of life.
