The church is supposed to be the advocate for the poor and the powerless, not the mouthpiece of the empire.

Whenever a politician claims that God is on their side, all they are doing is reducing God to a mere tool of manipulation in order to get people on their side. It is blasphemy. It is using God’s name in vain. Christians should be the loudest ones opposing such behavior.

My newsletter tomorrow is called. “Do Not Repay Extreme Binary Thinking With Extreme Binary Thinking.” In it, I explore my own journey through fundamentalist, either/or thinking and invite us to ponder a path forward in our world of extremes. Join here: benjamin-cremer.kit.com/profile

Notice how it’s “corruption” if the poor benefit from the government, but it’s “beautiful” when the wealthy benefit from the government.

My response to the tired refrain: “It’s Not the Government’s Job to Help the Poor—It’s the Church’s!” open.substack.com/pub/benjaminrc…

Imagine being more concerned about people being too compassionate than you are about people being too cruel.

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about cruel people having unprecedented wealth and power over all of us.

Have your opinion on the issue. But to bully people under the age of 18 to your Twitter sheeple is extremely sad, dark, and the opposite of literally everything in the Bible. It makes me sick honestly. Fame on the back of bullying minors

My newsletter tomorrow is called “One person’s ‘compassion’ is another person’s ‘coddling sin’.” In it, I invite us to evaluate the root of this popular sentiment that “too much compassion coddles sin” and how we might respond to it. Join here: benjamin-cremer.kit.com/profile

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins. When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look. When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

The church has always been at its best when it stands with the crucified, not the crucifiers.

It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

My most recent Substack. You can read the rest here: open.substack.com/pub/benjaminrc…

We will believe the worst kind of myths about the people we’ve already decided not to love.

For those who say “Illegal is illegal.” On this Juneteenth, remember: slavery was once legal. Harboring a fugitive enslaved person? Illegal. Black freedom? Illegal. “Illegal is illegal” has always been used to defend injustice. Legality ≠ morality. Justice calls us higher.
