I know in the last few days I have posted a lot of what I think is important stuff. But if you have ever wanted to hear a grand response to a hate preacher calling for the death of gay people then you need to watch this video. The reverend is as upset and agitated as I have ever seen him. He not only debunks the hate preachers arguments but uses the verses before and after to show how wrong people that use that to hate on gays are. Hugs.

Comment… “Just checking if you are a horrible person ”
When I first started watching the Reverend it was because he was defending gay people. He then defended trans people. He was against the message of hate preachers of his religion. I left a comment on one of his videos not expecting a response. I got one. I explained who I was as an openly gay man in a same gender relationship, that I did not believe in the supernatural, and while I rejected the outdated morals of the Christian bible I did live by the ideals of being a good person and treating others as I wished to be treated. I mentioned that I believed in doing the best we could to help others and I felt I followed the best of what Jesus asked of people. Then I ended with about the same question as this video is about. Does your god have room in his kingdom for me or if there is a heaven will I be allowed there or will I be sentenced to eternal punishment. His reply was very welcoming and he replied that if anyone lived by the things Jesus asked it did not matter if you believed in him or not. If you were a good person you would be judged on that. He welcomed me to his channel. I felt very comfortable with his reply, very accepted. Recently he posted a video asking for his viewers feelings on his message and I commented on the interaction with the channel I had. I got likes and responses from many of his followers that said I was welcoming and their god definitely had room for me, I was included not excluded from him. I think if the churches preached this message they would have far more members and less anger at the religion. Hugs
Comment… “Does it bother you devil worshippers want more christians like you?”
MTG’s Ex Attacks Muslim Girls At Prayer
I love how Rev. Ed Trevors looks at other faiths and religions. They are not a threat to him, his religion, nor his god. I personally think if a person’s faith doesn’t harm others and helps them it is grand even if I don’t believe the same way. If you get benefit from your faith, your god, your religion and cause no harm to others … and maybe even helps other then it is a grand thing. Remember even though I am an atheist I was rescued at 17 yrs old by a very devout Christian. He did not turn his back on an abused kid like so many others did. So I don’t, do not, believe that religion poisons everything. It is like everything else in life it is how you use it that makes it good or bad. If you use your faith, your god as a crutch for your own hate, if you claim your deity hates others based on who you hate … then you are not following the Christian Jesus but maybe the one that tempted him. As Belle and Beau say … It is just a thought. Hugs.
What Do You Think About Christians Calling Other People…….?
This video touches just briefly on child abuse in that the republicans / clergy / highly religious do in the defense of the LGBTQ+ especially trans people accused of it. The Rev. Trevors is a real supporter of the LGBTQ+ and he doesn’t like it when Christians use his god / bible to harm others. Hugs
What Are Satanists Up To In Kansas???
By my dogs that love gravy I like this man’s message. I enjoy listening to him as he asked everyone including the Christians to love each other, to be kind to each other. He reaches even a complete atheist like me. The fact is you can gain more converts, more adherents to your view with kindness and joy, than you will ever be able to do with anger, hate, and force. This man will bring far more people to Jesus and to the principles that Jesus taught than the Christian nationalist hate preachers ever will even if they get their way. No law forcing a person to sit in a pew can ever make them believe the stuff that is against the inborn idea of fairness, kindness, respect for others … or as someone said treat others as you would like to be treated. Period. The saying was not treat others the way you want to be treated only if they are like you, only if they believe as you do, only if they are the same skin color or the same sexual orientation. Treat everyone as you would like to be treated. Hugs

Episcopal Bishops Encouraging Flock To Stand Up For Migrants
I like this person and his teachings. Clearly. In truth had he been the one to save me as a 17 yr old beaten boy hiding in his barn I think he may have still sent me to a church school to protect me but he wouldn’t have then expected me to go on and become a priest in their religion. I couldn’t tell my savior who wanted that from me why I rejected his strong demand / offer and instead went into the military was that I was gay. I had accepted it to myself. I was well versed enough in the acts of it due to my abuse to know that along with my internal emotions about guys vs women that the acts themselves did not repulse me. Just the way they were forced on me. Remember I had been forced to please females as well as males since I was 3 years old and I understood my attractions were to males. I was very gay. Instead I think he would have asked me my goals and I would have had to tell him the mystical parts of the religion I had issues with … but the reason I need to withdraw was I was gay. If he responded as he did in my comment to him, then I would have stayed in his congregation. Not believing the magic parts of the religion but the community and acceptance that their god has for those different. Rev. Ed Trevors admits he doesn’t preach facts, he preaches faith, and much of what he stresses is things as a humanest I can fully endorse.
I do wonder with his … more violent past if he had found a badly beaten very thin small 17 year old boy who told him he was being abuse if he would have done more than force the parents … well in their mind’s owner of the boy to let him leave. But again maybe that is my hopes / emotions talking over my understanding of reality. Hugs
