The pro-life hypocrisy
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” - Gandhi.
Self-proclaimed pro-life Christians, decided to separate children from parents to deter incoming immigrants.
Vice President Pence describes himself as a “Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.”
A Christian? Christianity is about compassion and kindness. Jesus’ message was to love all children of God. He also stood up for the powerless. To this day Pence remains silent while hundreds of children are still without their parents. Compassion for these kids? I think not!
Your actions speak loudly. You aren’t pro-life because you care about a life, but because you are against abortion. Perhaps it’s to keep the poor poorer, as the rich can fly off to another country. Or it’s to keep the ‘Good Old Boys Club’ strong with power over women. No reproductive freedom for her! Or it’s to gather votes by trying to look oh-so-holy? But for sure it’s not because you care about another life.
Gandhi’s quote says it all: “Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
Vote the frauds out! The day of reckoning always comes.
