if any of us claim to be Christian, we should not align w/ cruelty under the cross. it was wrong during the crusades, it was wrong during the inquisition, it was wrong during the forced conversion & assimilation of Indigenous & Native peoples, it was wrong when bombing abortion clinics, it is still wrong today when used to justify marginalization, oppression, violence, cruelty, harm, & destruction. these are not the Way of Jesus, the Christ. they are the way of empire. if we have any awareness & wisdom when reading Jesus‘ words, we see who he aligned with, who he lifted up, & who he attended to. it was with those who suffer, those cast out, those at the bottom. it wasn’t with empire.
