The ministry is doing work Texas Republicans won't. Paxton wants to make it all worse.

What’s interesting about this lawsuit, though, is that Paxton is effectively suing a Christian ministry for helping unhoused people—and the ministry plans to respond to the threat by saying they have a religious right to assist others:

      Sure it does. In the “Who Are We” page

      We originate from the Christian faith and believe that our community is best served when diversity and inclusion are embedded in everything we do.

    The fact that Ken Paxton is not suffering his way through a painful and terminal illness is proof that there is no god.

    EDIT: As always, Austin keeps fighting the flood of fascism coming from Capitol building like Hodor holding the door. We all know how that ends but they still hold back the monsters.

      This is Texas. The government will do nothing to help homeless people. I’d rather see a church do something about it than no one. You may feel differently, but I would prefer it if people didn’t needlessly suffer when someone is willing to help them even if that someone does not agree with my worldview.

      It’s not like I have to go to their church.

      Nah, A) fuck Paxton forever. B) he’s suing them because they are giving the homeless clean needles to prevent the spread of disease. Whatever other problematic Christian charities exist or even other aspects of this charity/program that may be problematic, this is a very very needed and net good cause that should be protected. Also, C) Again, fuck Paxton. Paxton can sit on the biggest diseased cock with a barb wire condom. Eat shit and die, Paxton.

        Even a broken clock is right twice a day. A useful Christian is still a hateful, bigoted monster. Sure, the money they put into helping is something that is needed, but where else is their money and effort going? If they were just in it to be good, they’d be a non-profit, not a church. A fever that gives you blissful visions only does so because it is destroying your brain.

          These sentences show more hate than most Christians I know IRL would show during all our conversations.

            Actions speak louder than words. I’m glad your conversations are going well. I bet all the people that have been raped by the clergy will be happy to know they are using their inside voices. I bet if you leave a note on the graves of the women that have died because they can’t get proper healthcare during their pregnancy their family will really appreciate the sentiment.

            You want vitriol? You want hate? Fuck the church, fuck the clergy. I don’t give a fuck who they are outside of the church, they kill, they rape, and they murder under the banner of Christ’s love. And if one of them says they don’t, then ask them if they make their tithes, because every dime of that goes towards pedophiles, bigots, racists, and homophobes. FUCK ALL OF THEM and I’ll say it to their faces. And fuck you if you don’t do the same.

              This group’s actions are to help homeless people. And you don’t like it. It doesn’t speak well of you.
