Kerry Scaggs You’re so blinded and Brainwashed, it’s actually VERY sad that you see only the political affiliation of people and make assumptions based on that.
You’re exactly what’s wrong with people regardless of religion.
When I’m at church I don’t go around thinking who are Republicans or who are democrats. I forgive everyone the same bc PEOPLE is PEOPLE and we all sin.. no matter our religion, color, height or whatever.
I’ve known Republicans that are truly nice people and Democrats who have treated me like grbage just bc I’m latino… and i have met the other way.. bad Republicans and good democrats.
Jesus doesn’t care about politics he came for all..
you can have the opinion of Trump that you want.. but it’s not like demo politicians are better.
The fact that you claim that only Republicans are racist is a fallacy.. I HAVE experienced racism myself coming from blacks or other people in Democratic majority cities even more than in small towns.
I’m not Qanon but I’m also not brainwashed I’ve listened to many Democrats speak against Christian teachings.. in favor of sexualizing our kids with tons of genders and praise the Satanist Church as they did in Chicago in December when the DEMOCRAT government let the Satanic church to put the devil beside the Nativity.. this isn’t Qanon but a reality.. even CNN has informed about that.
You have A LOT of hate in your heart.. and you assume everyone is like you think.. i know there are good democrats just as Republicans.. at the end BOTH only care about power.. the democrats have the Presidency, Senate and Congress.. and instead of helping people can you tell what they’re doing now?


How/Why is the Catholic Church in the United States still allowed to keep its doors open!!? The Catholic Church and the Vatican are the largest organized international pedophile organization on the planet and in history. What other company could do this at this level for this many decades and still be in business. And the Vatican and it's churches are tax free businesses, for profit, plain and simple. And just what we know about, so far it has paid out close to $3 billion dollars in sexual abuse settlements over decades while the DOJ and lawmakers in Congress have allowed it all to continue for DECADES upon DECADES of children and women being sexually abused........Who the hell else could get away with this??!! And right now CRT in math books and gay issues are big on the list of the right wing religious fanatics, but why not this issue?? Just the settlement amounts and number of families/people getting that money proves out what's going on, yet we hear nothing from the religious right.......................


Gonza Ceron S I have to disagree with you, l do not have hate in my heart, it is fear, concern, disappointment and sadness. I definitely do not mean all Republicans and all Christian’s. I am talking about the far-right radicals, the majority
of my extended family and many friends are Republicans, l absolutely know they are good people and l am aware that there are many more. If you noticed, l said l do not like EXTREMES of any kind. I just think we have to speak out against lies and disinformation that we have been experiencing since Trump ran in 2016. If you are not a far-right radical than l am not talking about you. l am talking about the hate speech and prejudices of people that use their religion as a scapegoat to justify their bad behavior. I have issues with religious extremism as well, like Farrakhan and satanic churches. You mentioned that it is because of “Democrat Government”, that satanic churches exist, it is because of our constitution and the Separation of Church and State. Look at all the violence and wars fought over religions and land throughout history. People like Marjorie Taylor Taylor Greene should have no place in our government because she is QAnon extremist and dangerous. There are so many examples of why the danger of delusional , religious, and narcissistic extremism and ideology should never be given power. You are right, there are individual prejudices in many people of all ethnicity and cultures, but when we reach the point of marginalizing an entire race of people because of the color of their skin, or their religion, or culture, then we are in a slippery slope. Do we not learn from history? We should not demonize or exclude groups of people because we don’ agree with certain ways or beliefs they have. I will always stand up for those people . I get where you are coming from and obviously l did not do a good job of clarifying what l actually was trying to convey. Have a good evening , Gonza.


Kerry Scaggs The lies and the disinformation also come from the left.. like the Russian collusion which turned out to come from Hillary, CNN saying BLM lootings were “peaceful”.. saying Kyle Rittenhouse killed the guys when on video was self defense.. Smollet who faked a racial attack.. hiding the findings of Hunter Biden’s corrupt deal which even the NY Times now say they’re true.. And i can go on and on.

Even though I don’t agree with anything about Marjorie Taylor Greene… she was elected DEMOCRATICALLY by the district she represents.. we both might not like her but she has a place bc her constituents decided to and who are we to say who has to be in Congress or not? That’s why we have elections.. if their constituents doesn’t like her they can vote her out..
I don’t like progressives bc they’re far left radicals as well but I understand that their constituents vote for them and I respect that.

You say you’re against marginalizing people.. then why do you marginalize the Republicans you don’t like?
Let’s just learn to live with people we disagree with and let’s just don’t see them as our enemies or as lunatics bc we can find those in both parties. We need to heal not to create more divisions.. nice to talk and have a good evening.


Kathy Stevenson how is this story in any way shape or form about black reparations??

You are so self absorbed everything MUST be about you.

The world doesn't revolve around you. No one cares about your whining.

I bet you just seeth with rage that no one, especially us white ppl, care about your dumb reparations.

There will never be any free money coming your way just because you are black. It ain't gonna happen lol.

As long as us evil white ppl can vote, it just ain't gonna happen.

And we can vote, and we do vote. Don't ever be deluded to think white people are still not the single largest voting block (by a massive margin) in america.


GOD Love's forgiveness and that is why HIS HANDS is Opened for Whoever needs HIS forgiveness even Lesbians and Gays can be forgiven because they have realized GOD Created us one undivided Beings with HIS Law of Truth and Unity which is given to us as HIS Mercy Seat and the Truth for creating woman as a partner of Man which Good over Evil for the disobedience of the Law of ALLAH GOD Owner of the Heavens and Earth and HE never created a permanent life because HIS Will is for us to return to HIM with Good Deeds.
Convulsion is the Hour of Judgement and we should pray for forgiveness for GOD'S Love for us is to be among HIS righteous servants for the little disgrace we see here is better than the Hereafter disgrace which is irritrieveable disgrace.


Kerry Scaggs ….there are bad people everywhere. Even in the church. It should not be a reflection of who genuine Christians are., or the TRUE teachings of Christ. Be careful how you judge…lest judgment reach your own doorstep. We are allowing men in the women’s restrooms, men in women’s sports…etc. It should not surprise us that pedophiles are somehow being allowed in the church. Nobody wants any standards. You are REQUIRED by cancel culture to accept everything anybody claims as THEIR normal. Yes, the ACLU would like us to accept pedophilia also…as they actively represent NAMBLA. Many organizations are trying to normalize this disgusting behavior. FYI…The organizations normalizing these behaviors ARE NOT Christians or right leaning individuals.


The Lord's Spirit is disgusted from all these. His cup of anger is overflowing. That is why He told me He is going to change things. New signs and miracles are about to happen from Him and He is about to open His 2nd seal. The world will see it with their own eyes in the next few years. He has already started preparing for it. When it comes, people's eyes shall see and they shall know that the Lord God Almighty is the one who sees everything. If before He said that the time is at hand, today He told me, "There is no time left!" A few more years and the end of the white horse and horseman (the spread of Christianity) is coming and He is about to open the second seal which gives way to the red horse and red horseman


Frank Petriello horrible. Its tragic how these people prey on those that need them most. When they need them most. All the more reason to go after them as an organization for criminal activity because they have actively kept it quiet or misled authorities. So I believe the law should pursue not just the priest but the church as a whole.....at least in this country. What happens in other countries is up to those countries to decide. But we should file criminal charges against the catholic, Baptist and any other church who has allowed these acts to continue and let the perpetrators walk away because they have God on their side.


10ºGonza Ceron S That is true, there are Catholics and Christians on the right and on the left. One is exclusive and discriminating and the other is inclusive and believes everyone deserves human rights and dignity. Hopefully, the left and right agree that evil should not be tolerated, and should be dealt with on a fair and equal playing field. I voted for two Republican Presidents because l thought they were the better candidate, but also a very good person. I suppose that is my major issue with Trump, he is not an honorable human being. We have never been more divide even when President Obama was elected, we were mostly united. However, behind the scenes, the white supremacy, far-right radicals, and anti-government, and Republican politicians were working to stop a black man or a woman from ever getting into the WH again. Trump ran his 2016 campaign on fear, hate, paranoia, and divisive rhetoric. His campaign had 2 unregistered foreign agents in upper management, Manafort and Flynn. Russians interfered to help Trump by using propaganda on social media. In 2020, Trump lied about the election being stolen. This stuff is what separates our country. There is NO “satanism or sexuality depravation or other anti-Christian stuff” except in the depraved minds of QAnon believers. I don’t like EXTREMES of any kind.
