Where in the Christian text does Jesus say that people are “filth”? Senator Tom Woods’ comments with regards to the 2SLGBTQIA community are atrocious and most certainly do not live within any doctrine of the Christianity he professes. Senator Woods called upon Christian morality as justification for his discrimination and hatred, and we at the Oklahoma Faith Network call upon him to revisit his faith, as his current path is incongruent with Christianity in any form. Comments such as these are dangerous, and have led to the deaths and harassment of children and adults across this country. The idea that morality could ever align with hatred is offensive, false, and egregious. Morality, within the context of the senator’s professed faith, teaches kindness and love of neighbor. Therefore, we name these comments for what they are, incongruent with any faith tradition, especially Christianity.
