One of the more outspoken members of the GOP's Insane Caucus in the House of Representatives, Marjorie Taylor Greene, amazingly keeps finding ways to out crazy herself.
Last week, Greene, who claims to be a Christian (follower of Christ), said this about the Catholic Church in an interview.
Greene said that the Catholic Church was being controlled by Satan because it is actually trying to abide by the teachings of Jesus Christ in the gospel. Christ taught us to love one another, and help the less fortunate, which is what the Catholic Church, in this instance, is trying to promote in regard to migrants who are coming to the United States to seek asylum.
These migrants are trying to leave deplorable conditions in their home countries and come to the United States to avoid being murdered by drug cartels, and so their daughters, some underage, are not forced to become prostitutes and alike. Greene is not having any of that.
This so-called Christian, who likes to call people who believe that gay and trans kids should not be the targets of violence and bullying, groomers, but she is proving herself to be an advocate for sex traffickers. She wants migrants to go back to these countries to be killed or trafficking by the cartels.
Greene makes it clear in this interview, that the teachings of Christ only apply in instances when it does not interfere with our laws (man-made laws). Jesus would have something to say about that Klan Mom. Christ made it clear that you should try to live by man's rules (government rules) as longs as man's laws do not interfere with God's laws.
The King James Bible reads the following in Mark 12:17. "And Jesus answered and said to them, 'render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' And they marveled at him."
It turns out the Marjoie had nothing correct in this interview, because as it turns out, asylum seekers who are coming to the border and presenting themselves at a point of entry to apply for asylum, is actually the current law of the United States and has been for some time. And there is nothing Greene can do about that unless she gets a majority of reps and Senators to change the law. We know however, she did not come to Congress to actually get legislation passed, she just came to say stupid stuff and get hits on right-wing cult news channels.
One can't help but weep for the people who call themselves Christians, but at every turn do the opposite of what Christ taught, to instead service this right-wing cult that has permeated into evangelical teachings and some congregations.
It's a good thing that Poland, Romania and Hungary, among others, border Ukraine and not the United States. The Poles and Romanians have welcomed its neighbors from war-torn Ukraine. If it were us, we would definitely tell them to go home to die.
Let's end this post with another verse that might help Greene understand why she is in fact working not for God but the Devil himself.
Romans 12:13 "Contribute to the needs of God's people, and welcome strangers into your home."
