    I really wish more people cared about the tens of millions of people sentenced to starve to death by the US government cutting USAID.

      I just had a “Christian” defend doing that with a string of Bible verses. Not even kidding. According to them, “charity shouldn’t be mandatory” and it’s in the Bible and this means killing millions of people and creating suffering in millions of others.

        Not the US, but I have an acquaintance who is a “Christian”. She’s an immigrant. She goes to church with mostly nonwhite immigrants. She’s extremely racist, among other things. You can’t make that shit up 🤷🏻
