1. I find a lot of wisdom in the Bible

and I'm a Buddhist, which is not a religion, but a non-theistic practice. It's important to understand and make a distinction between Christian ideology (which I find ridiculous) and the moral precepts about how people should behave to live together peacefully. So if Christian ministers want to preach about the inhumanity and cruelty of the Trump administration is abusing immigrant children, I don't have a problem with that. I say, if you're talking to Christians, Muslims, atheists, or whatever, use the words that will be heard and understood to create the critical mass of public opinion that will stop this monstrous policy.

The point is to stop the policy of state-inflicted child abuse, not vent about Bible preachers.
