Well... So, you plan on things to go one way...
...but then Your Employer comes tearing through like a wrecking ball and leaves everyone lying on the floor...
...and then stands there, watching all of it, and cackling.
Dude has a sense of humor, all right.

I was portrayed as violent and unhinged when I was fired June 2020...
...by the pastor who assaulted a female staff member, fired her for reporting it to the bishop, and then was referred by said bishop to anger management.
He's still pastoring that church.
I was unemployed for three years.

Dear Church:
Systemic Injustice is still Sin.
If you tolerate it or defend it, then it's power you are worshiping, not Jesus.
Happy Good Friday.

That is not a "maximum security prison" in El Salvador.
That is a #DEATHCAMP paid for by your tax dollars.
All so DonaldTrump, JDVance Marco Rubio and the entire White Supremacist Administration can escalate their war against brown bodies.
US citizens are next. Probably Black.
Call it what it is

Transgender children are made in the image of God...

Quit trying to compartmentalize God.
He does not work that way.
He won't even divide Himself into three; He surely isn't going to divide Himself to fit His infinite being inside all of your tiny little boxes.

If you could get a tax break hiring Black people:
1.) Black unemployment would not be almost double the white.
2.) Black applicants wouldn't be passed over based on names alone.
3.) Black men with no criminal records would have an advantage over white men fresh out of prison.
