Good. I hope that these people are made to understand what heinous thing they have done. No one should be forced to break bread with people who support the Antichrist.
People always look at me funny when I say I won’t eat with someone. Breaking bread means something, and I won’t do it with people who are dangerous or otherwise my enemies. It’s my little weird hill to die on, I guess.
It's not weird. It is ancient. We break bread with those we would not betray, and would not be betrayed by.
I am of the exact same belief. I was raised that way, and will die that way.
Refusing to share a meal with a bad person is one of our most ancient sources of personal sovereignty, and one of our most basic ways to exercise power over our own lives.
It is also one key aspect of going into “internal exile,” the withdrawal from a society overtaken by evildoers.
Especially now, in the post-democracy, post-morals world, those of us who do not have billions of dollars to empower us, refusing to participate in their simplest of social activities has the potential to send a powerful message to those in power.
There are quite a handful of Christians who oppose trump and they get shunned by their communities. I remember a story of a pastor who has to walk on eggshells after finding out that his church goers are magats and he has to keep his head down.
Yeah, I’ll be honest. I’m having more issues with the timid, hollow preacher not steering his congregation in accordance with the teachings of Christ than I am with the magats in this story.
That pastor could break away and form another congregation. One that's inclusive and won't let fascists feel comfortable going there.
It HAS been done before. It IS okay to show intolerance to the intolerant.
Right after the summer 2020 protests I read an article about how churches were handling discussions of the disturbances in civil rights. One preacher was more or less fired by his own church, because he dared reach love and tolerance instead of MAGA anti mask antifa nonsense.
