As a former pastor and a father and a Christian and a citizen of the planet and a lover of humanity, I can’t make this any clearer:

White Evangelical Christians are the source of everything afflicting our nation: all of this violence, chaos, dehumanization, and suffering.

If you want the beautiful, expansive humanity of this world to be equally protected, respected, and cared for, they need to be stopped.

And we can stop them, together.

They must be confronted, opposed, resisted, shouted down, outworked, outnumbered, and outvoted.

America is not in a Civil War; we’re in White Christian Nationalists’ grim and loveless holy war.

All people of faith, morality, and conscience need to stand together and push them back into the hell they came from.
