ADHDeanASLJust walked out of a church service because the pastor decided to celebrate Trump’s win by starting a statement about the “woke agenda.” When someone uses that term, they have absolutely nothing worthwhile to say, and they certainly aren’t preaching the words of Christ.
Hell's Kitchen Bitches! 🦮🔥@adhdeanasl Good for you for getting up and leaving. That kind of talk has no place in a church or any religious place of worship.
sOlOw-NHIn the history of the world, no one has a more woke agenda than Jesus Christ

@solownh @adhdeanasl THANK YOU. Some folks are going to be very disappointed when they meet Jesus in person.
Yeah, many are just going straight to hell, no meeting with Jesus necessary
@solownh @adhdeanasl I cannot remember where I read it, but somewhere in the Bible it says that the Gospel is preached, even to the dead, but perhaps I imagined it?
Also, ministers all over are getting complaints from parishioners who don't like the Beatitudes. They think it sounds "weak." They reject hearing straight from the Bible they purport to believe in. They are completely disingenuous about their own faith. They want to be on the winning side of a divide devised in their own minds. They want Rambo Jesus, a god made of their own desires, in their own image. That is the very definition of idolatry and they cannot be made to see it.
Denial and rationalization combined with a huge lack of self-awareness...

@kimlockhartga @solownh @adhdeanasl they are, I hate to use the term, heretics. Prosperity gospel and related beliefs are literally heresy
ArchaeoIain@kimlockhartga @solownh @adhdeanasl well, they won't ever meet an imaginary person in an imaginary place, will they?

@solownh @adhdeanasl And this is why you never hear evangelicals quoting Jesus. The quotes they spout come from the Old Testament, and even then, they're cherry-picked.
Barry Schwartz 🫖@solownh @adhdeanasl He's basically stating Jewish law in succinct summary. He gets a lot of direct credit for things that he's actually paraphrasing from Leviticus and so forth.
This is probably what fascinated so many Pharisees, that a yokel from Galilee knew all this stuff so well and perhaps even that he could apply it better than they could.

Phillip@solownh I’d love to see a side by side of the teachings of Jesus and the woke policies.
FYI. I 100% believe Jesus would not be a Republican or a Democrat. Jesus turned the world upside down and made such an impact he changed BC to AD.
@kd7qot
Agreed. But the point is that he's being misrepresented by GOP

@solownh odd. I don’t see it that way. You have Harris who clearly doesn’t follow the teachings of Jesus and shows no real signs of being saved and you have Trump who also has not lived a Christ like life but is either making legitimate attempts to lead to Christ (especially since he was shot) and might have actually repented, although we may never really know until the day we are called home by God.
@kd7qot Sorry, I don't see any legitimate attempts. What he's doing is he's gaslighting America
Dave Goldsmith@adhdeanasl I have walked out of two different churches for this kind of thing. One for telling everyone who to vote for, and the other for telling us that all illnesses stem from sin.
I will also walk out if there is an American flag in the sanctuary.
Mark Darbyshire@kimlockhartga @adhdeanasl I hope they realise that they've got people walking out for these reasons.
Eh?!?@markdarb @kimlockhartga @adhdeanasl
The more people go out like that, the more likely they are to understand

Jhooper@kimlockhartga @adhdeanasl Did you report the church to the IRS? The church tax exemption is only in exchange for the church in question staying out of politics.
Geeden_Of_Arden@adhdeanasl The Christians under the republican tent are hypocritical christians. Christ would be turning them out, instead of you having to leave.
@Bon_Jardin If Jesus showed up, they’d most likely call the police on Him.

Jon Jones ✌️@adhdeanasl It is an incredibly liberating feeling as an adult to be able to just up and leave where you don’t feel like being, and where your presence not being of mandate or obligation serves no benefit to you. Much of our formative training fails to underscore this, and quite often reinforces the opposite. Kudos to you.
aardvark@adhdeanasl I’m sorry. I’m praying today doesn’t go that way for many.
@aardvark I still believe there are churches out there who *actually* have worship instead of entertainment, and who study the Bible that doesn’t have Trump’s name stamped on the front. Those are the churches who actually serve communities and whose members get arrested for feeding homeless people.
@adhdeanasl that’s ours, so far. I should be grateful that we’re able to bring together disparate folks and peaceably worship, but sometimes it feels a bit tense. Unity isn’t easy, and we’re even taught that.
@aardvark You’re very fortunate.
Jessamyn@adhdeanasl @aardvark We have at least one like that in my community. Feeding the hungry, assisting the unhoused, building community. I'm not a Christian but I admire the work they do and help when I can. Good on you for walking out of that service.
IronCladLou@adhdeanasl @aardvark sadly, those churches will soon be labeled as woke heretics, not true believers. They will be ostracized and eliminated. I just hope they know it’s coming

@ironcladlou @adhdeanasl if I’m persecuted for Jesus’ name’s sake (following his teachings, not just using empty words), I’ll count it a blessing.
coffee4danz@adhdeanasl I would be expecting a sermon on Lazarus’ woke agenda. Like, what was his to-do list after being raised from the dead?
fluxion@adhdeanasl "woke agenda", aka the teachings of Christ
RationizedInsanity🏳️🌈🇺🇦🇨🇦🇬🇱🇵🇸@adhdeanasl Not that I am religious but yea, I can understand that.
I find the term "woke" usually gets used by extreme conservatives who have no idea what being liberal actually is.
It's just a nebulous group of crazy people who either have dyed hair and are LGBT, or are a minority here illegally. Or black. Or mentally ill. Or homeless. Possibly all of the above.
They tend to hate all those things and just shout at us.
Logan Five Thousand@adhdeanasl Wow! Just wow.
Thank you for walking out. But I'm also sorry that's going on.

Baranduin@adhdeanasl My neighbor- who voted for Harris- keeps talking about some book he read that says that the woke agenda is too threatening.

Welcome to the official website of the Church of Satan. Founded on April 30, 1966 c.e. by Anton Szandor LaVey, we are the first above-ground organization in history openly dedicated to the acceptance of Man’s true nature—that of a carnal beast, living in a cosmos that is indifferent to our existence. To us, Satan is
Bodhipaksa@adhdeanasl The beatitudes are the ultimate "woke agenda."
These people would take turns nailing Christ to the cross if he came back again.
GJ Groothedde 🇪🇺@adhdeanasl Well done!
Deborah Rose ❌👑@adhdeanasl I've walked out of a Catholic service once when they started their pro-life, anti-contraception rant. I was towards the front, I took the hands of my two young daughters and walked straight down the middle aisle and made sure the door made a loud thud behind me. It was very dramatic. (Visiting Priest that didn't know the congregation)
@adhdeanasl good on you. Our only choice is to take actions like that.
RiaResists@adhdeanasl I haven’t been to church in 6 years. I need something….. having a hard time meeting friends in the hood I moved to 8 years ago. Hubs found a Unitarian church. We were supposed to go this morning but I was sleeping too good.
I won’t go anywhere where #DirtyMAGAts gather.
