THIS. And it's not just the congregants. Numerous faith leaders are pushing this shit.
The problem in America 🇺🇸 today is NOT that Christianity ✝️ isn’t being taught in schools 🏫 anymore. It’s that Christianity isn’t being taught in CHURCHES ⛪️ anymore. Have a blessed Sunday today.
![In an interview with NPR, Evangelical Christian leader Russell Moore said that multiple pastors had told him disturbing stories about their congregants being upset when they read from the " Sermon on the Mount " in which Jesus espoused the principles of forgiveness and mercy that are central to Christian doctrine.
"Multiple pastors tell me, essentially, the same story about quoting Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount - [and] to have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?"
Moore added: "And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would be, "Yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:atpzmmpp2kehmskdaptyywlm/bafkreigjd5espzgbqahgkdzhttzaju3lqhcolqck5vhr44l5f5aro6afxm@jpeg)

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

Today we remember the thousands of Americans who died in the attack on Pearl Harbor 84 years ago. Nearly half of those lost were aboard the USS Arizona, and I remember what a moving experience it was when Gabby and I visited the memorial. We’ll never forget their sacrifice.

Honestly the biggest message tonight has been: when we fight together, we win.
We as a nation have come together to fight fascism, to fight authoritarianism, to loudly and proudly declare: WE WILL HAVE NO KING IN AMERICA.
And when you come for one of us, you better prepare to face all of us.
