Summary

During a National Prayer Service, Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde urged Donald Trump to show mercy to immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, prompting Trump to criticize her on Truth Social as a “Radical left hard line Trump hater.”

Trump dismissed the service as “boring” and accused Budde of politicizing religion.

Budde, known for her advocacy on justice issues, later explained her appeal aimed to encourage broader compassion.

Despite her message, Trump demanded a public apology, claiming her remarks were ungracious and uninspiring.

    All the Abrhamuc religions hate LGBTQ because they all came about competing against each other.

    It’s easier to keep someone born into the religion than convert someone who grew up outside of it.

    So the biggest priority has always been for existing followers to have as many kids as possible. It all comes down to money/power. The more followers listen to you, the more money you get in donations and the more power you have. Even today, waaaaay too many Americans just vote how their religious leader tells them.

    You can’t logic them out of it, because logic didn’t factor into their support of trump in the first place.

    They reference themselves as sheep constantly, and they are.
