    I love being a UU and am extremely benefitted by having my congregation & a personal connection with God, after +20 years of being a hardline atheist. I needed my own space & affordance to explore, redefine terms, and do my own spiritual learning.

    One weird outcome for me was reading the Bible on my own. I don’t consider myself a Christian (ex-Catholic / ex-Atheist), but I was getting frustrated with MAGA’s association with Christ while being so misaligned with the teachings. I know enough now to quote my favorite passages, because if I ever get in a pinch in this country, I’m going to quote the Bible.

    Every MAGA person needs to read Matthew 25:32 several times, along with James 1:19 & James 2:25, and especially John 13:34. You get to heaven by helping the poor, helping the foreigner, helping those in prison, not by just claiming you follow Christ. If your actions don’t come from love, then they don’t follow Christ. It’s mind blowing to me that this regime is aligned with Christianity in public opinion.
