Summary
Donald Trump, who attended the national prayer service following his inauguration, and his allies attacked Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde after her sermon criticized his treatment of marginalized communities.
Trump called her a “Radical Left Trump hater” and criticized her sermon as “boring” and “nasty.”
Fox News and GOP Rep. Mike Collins joined in, with Collins absurdly calling for her deportation.
Critics noted the hypocrisy in Trump’s selective embrace of religion, celebrating faith only when it aligns with his political agenda, and warned of the Streisand Effect amplifying Budde’s message.
The more time and attention she can consume the better.
Help this fester.
Religion must be celebrated, protected and venerated,
No. No it must not. This completely unnecessary statement severely degrades the credibility of the rest of the piece.
The Aztecs used to use human sacrifice every day as part of their religious ceremonies. Shall we “celebrate, protect, and venerate” that?
What about modern day religions that practice genital mutilation? Or other completely abhorrent practices?
No: Religions should be viewed with skepticism and a critical eye. All throughout history they have been responsible for some of the worst of all human behavior and even to this day continue to lead people towards dark, unethical paths.
“I’m not convinced that faith can move mountains, but I’ve seen what it can do to skyscrapers.” -William H. Gascoyne
Cool, I know Mariann. She’s super cool. Im concerned for her and her husband right now.
edit: husband I mixed up her and Bonnie Perrywho is the Bishop of Detroit
Yeah “venerated” is crazy. Celebrated maybe, protected sure.
Deport her to where? She’s an American. You can’t deport a citizen of your country to another country.
I guess they wanna deport her back to…New Jersey?! Lmao
A fate worse than death!
Not with that attitude you cant.

Damn nasty facts.
Finally we will find out what would have happened if Hitler had nukes. Can’t wait.
This actually made my stomach drop.
Fox News and Mike Collins want her deported? She was born in New Jersey. They seem to want to “deport” anyone they don’t like.
You’re so close to getting it.
We live under a fascist regime. Now what?
Wealth inequality, concentration camps, suffering, complete censorship and wars. That’s what.
I thought he was the good Christian man that all the pious needed to vote for to save Amerixa? Did my state’s “Christian Voter’s Guide” lie to me???
Did Trump have anything to say about the Nazi salute, or just the inclusivity message?
Personally I think he’s conflicted about it, because it’s a gesture of fealty to his fuhrerhood, but it took some media attention away from HIM.
He let Musk kiss his boot for it. Didn’t need to say anything.
Musk deep-throated that boot
It really must be exhausting talking in such hyperbole all the time.
It actually seems quite easy for them.
I am targeting them as pieces of human shit.
Going to need a powerful flush to get rid of them.
There’s a lot of us.
Because they are so “religious”.

…what‽
I’m not sure you know anything about Wiccans.
lol, Wiccans? What’d they say?
Something about how they are the actual Pizzagate cult. Legitimizing Pizzagate alone is enough to disregard whatever they say. Been to Comet Ping Pong. Mediocre pizza. Good beer selection. No basement (at all) filled with children on their way to be sacrificed in a satanic ritual for adrenochrome.
Ugh, that’s sounds awful, So it’s like Chuck-E-Cheese but with beer?
Not really. It is basically just a standard higher end pizza place. They have some ping pong tables out back and I think a few pinball machines. It’s not specifically kid oriented. When I went, I only saw two or three kids. There were probably a ton more but you have to know the password to use the magic portal to the basement to see the others.
Oh, that sounds way more tolerable lol
