If your ministry has to close down after state funding dries up, it's not a "ministry," it's a state church.
Trump is shutting down Christian ministries. Ministries I've supported may have to close their doors. I've never seen anything like this.

And yet you've spent the last 8 years warning us about Trump.
Biden is leaving office dropping one lawless, norm-defying, justly impeachable un-democratic transgression after another. That’d be bad enough. But these are all precedents for the successor he thinks is a threat to democracy. It’s reckless, spiteful, and incandescently stupid.

I think it's more about the raping and beheading.
much anti-islam posting comes from envy and insecurity about the relative seriousness of muslims in practicing their faith vs laxity of christians. there’s a quality of character that comes with praying five times a day and abstaining even from water that we wish we could attain.
