But when I listened to the live feed of the All Mighty Movement of God on the OA site, what I heard was a speaker saying "it doesn't matter what religion you are" followed by repeated references to Jesus and the Bible and biblical prophecy. I have no problem with anyone's religion, but I don't feel represented by this message. I, like many people, don't have a religion, let alone a Christian one. I would respectfully ask religious groups to remain mindful that not everyone shares their beliefs, but that we can work to create a space where everyone feels comfortable, which means refraining from proselytizing.

If you are, I completely agree. But this isn't about how crazy some people's ideas are, it's about the economic and social inequality, and I think we should stick to that message. Tell the churchs the same thing we tell the politicians, you can ally with us, but we don't ally with anyone. Unless you’re an atheist, your religion is just as ridiculous.

I'm glad you have your faith, but the problems of this country won't be solved by it, or it would have by now. Keep religion out of politics just like money.
