I, the Lord, command you to do what is just and right. Protect the person who is being cheated from the one who is cheating him. Do not ill-treat or oppress foreigners, orphans, or widows; and do not kill innocent people in this holy place.
(Jeremiah 22:3)
(Jeremiah 22:3)
Just curious, but as women, don't women know how painful it is to be disrespected and discriminated against every day? Think of the absolute worst, horrific word that a woman or her daughter could be called (most women in my diversity classes say that it starts with "C"). Now imagine being called that offensive word every single day of her life, at her work, at her church, at her school... Now that you have imagined that word and experience, I ask you...would she turn her back on the person who abuses her with that word? (*her is a reference to any woman anywhere). Now imagine if your Governor said that he thinks that you should be strapped to a table, have a bit inserted into your mouth, and then recieve bolts of electricity shot through your brain until you change into something that you are not. Would you turn your back on him? (Insert Muslim, Mexican, LGBTQ, refugee, or any other minority of your choice into this same scenario).
