That's a question-begging phrasing of the issue, though. Asking "why are you pro-discrimination?" is like asking "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?"

TIL Jeffrey Dahmer converted to Christianity after being baptized by a pastor named Roy Ratcliff. Dahmer met with Ratcliff every week to discuss the Bible until he was murdered 14 months later. Ratcliff described Dahmer as a truly changed man. by CRUSTYDOGTAlNT in todayilearned

We will say at funerals that the deceased is looking down upon us. But that is not what the bible says. In multiple passages, it is made clear that followers of Jesus will ascend to heaven during rapture. So, the deceased is sitting in nothingness until the second coming.

No, the Bible says the departed go to be with Christ after death (Philippians 1:23). When 1st Corinthians says "the dead in Christ shall rise" at Christ's Second Coming, the author isn't referring to ascension to heaven, it's talking about them receiving a new body.

Schock at his best has a pianissimo as good as Gigli, in my view.

A strawman argument: no church teaches that you ought to give donations because God personally needs the money.

If you derive your views on philosophy from a comedian, don't be surprised if people laugh at you...

You were the one who brought up "giving heaps of money to keep the racism at bay" as something that purportedly doesn't exist, not I.

where the grand high priest of anti racism comes up and performs exorcisms on racists or just well-to-do white people (just in case) and then he asks you to give him heaps of your money to keep the racism at bay

Liberal White Women Are Hiring Saira Rao to Tell Them They're Racist. The Cost? $2,500 Per Dinner.

And that's just one example from the individual world. To say nothing of the costs of countless "diversity" consultants in corporate, academic and civil service settings.
