This Isn’t a Task Force for Christ—It’s a Tribunal Against Him

Before you praise yourselves for “defending Christianity,” let’s look at what you’ve actually done in Christ’s name: • You called immigrants animals—while Jesus was a refugee. • You mocked the poor and glorified wealth—while Jesus had no place to lay His head. • You attacked peacemakers, scientists, and teachers—while Jesus said “Blessed are the peacemakers.” • You lied constantly—while Jesus called Satan the father of lies. • You gave nicknames and hurled insults—while Jesus warned that calling someone a fool puts your soul in danger. • You rejected the stranger—while Jesus said “I was a stranger and you welcomed Me.” • You erased diversity efforts, vilified compassion, and weaponized faith—while Christ welcomed women, foreigners, lepers, and enemies to His table. • You called faithful Christians “woke” when they stood up for justice, mercy, and truth. Now you’ve launched a Task Force on Anti-Christian Bias, demanding Americans report “hostility” toward Christianity—when the most public hostility toward the Gospel is coming from the Oval Office itself. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?” – Matthew 7:3 This task force isn’t about protecting the faith—it’s about policing those who live it. It’s not about defending Jesus—it’s about defending you from criticism when your actions betray everything He stood for. Because of all this, many Americans—especially younger ones—are now ashamed to even say they’re Christian. Not because they’ve lost their faith, but because you’ve turned it into a punchline. A brand for bullies. A mascot for cruelty. You didn’t defend Christianity—you’ve made it a tool for power. You’ve made it mean control, not compassion. Division, not discipleship. You’ve made it harder, not easier, to speak the name of Jesus with integrity in this country. If you truly cared about the witness of the Church, you’d repent, not retaliate. You’d remove the plank from your own eye, not build a task force to hunt for sawdust. Let Jesus speak for Himself—because right now, the world can’t hear Him over you.
