#SlaveholderReligion today works much as it did in 19th cen. Here’s @terripearsons using the prophet Isaiah’s promise that righteous judges would be restored to Israel to ask Christians to vote for Republicans.
But she never notes what the prophet said was wrong w/ Israel’s judges: “Woe to unjust judges & to those who issue unfair laws, says the Lord, so that there is no justice for the poor, the widows, and orphans” (Is 10:1).
Advocacy groups that have opposed Trump’s judicial nominees are, fact, those that promote justice for immigrant children, poor people, & women.
Here’s Frederick Douglass on how #SlaveholderReligion used the Bible to prop up its vision of righteousness.
