Wow. So much hate for Christians here. I will be chatting with Twitter via screen shotreports. It is against their TOS to discriminate against anyone based on religion.
Any Christian or other religious group that outwardly supports a political party should lose the tax exempt status. SEPARATION OF CHURCH & STATE!
Did anyone explain to the GOP that these businesses that are cutting the legs out from under them and Trump are in fact capitalists and not socialists.
That’s not very christinlike seems all about a bunch of bullshit and Hypocrites
If this keeps up right wing wackos are going to have to start taking marlboro miles... Yeah I'm old enough to remember those 🤣

Why are we just now hearing about this group
Now imagine how Trumpers would react if it was an Islamic crowdfunding site...
Christian...lord.

Proud of what? It's obvious that doesn't include 'American'. I do not envy their brains.
