I have to question
You consider yourself an ally
And you listen to Albert Mohler regularly
The same Albert Mohler who’s rap sheet includes but is not limited to
1: Decrying a memorial for a trans activist
2: Saying in regard to trans folks, “we cannot affirm someone in a delusion”
3: Opposing the repealing of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” which banned openly queer Americans from the military
4: Opposing birth control for women
5: Proclaiming that married couples who choose not to have children are rebelling against God’s order
6: Being so thoroughly opposed to gay marriage that he signed the Manhattan Declaration, a document calling Christians to fight against queer and reproductive rights among other things. The Catholic Church had a significant hand in writing the Manhattan Declaration, and so emphatic was his opposition to queer/reproductive rights that he signed on despite believing the Catholic Church to be “a false church” and that accepting their doctrine would be to “compromise Biblical truth”
7: Proclaiming that Muslims are motivated by demonic power
8: Supporting America converting the people of Iraq to Christianity in the style of old colonial powers
I know there’s a policy against politics
I respect that
I would argue that this isn’t politics
Politics is discussing where to send foreign aid
Politics is discussing to what degree regulations should be implemented on the private sector
Politics is debating big vs small government
This is not politics
The ability of two consenting adults to marry and choose whether or not to have children is not politics
Women’s access to reproductive care is not politics
Freedom of religion, all religion, is not politics
The ability of trans folks to exist is not politics
These are basic human rights
And an ally who listens to someone like Albert Mohler is
