Who wants to bet they are now getting thousands of death threats from deplorables right now?

Man, isn't that a little too "hippie" a church for a christofascist theocrat like Sessions...

Condemnation/excommunication/stoning/rendering of the garments? Religious silliness - get out of your pews and vote for politicians that have some moral character. Sessions was and still is a bigot and how can his actions now be considered over-the-top. He is a poster child of all that is wrong in politics.

Sessions and his family would be thrown out of the church and the Methodist faith. If his adult kids go to that church, they will be affected too, and the South is very big on "the sins of the father". They will be tarred with the same brush, and they will probably choose to leave the church. In the deep south, this is very serious - it will echo all across town, and cause the Sessions family to be "talked about", even in the schools. They will probably wind up going to a baptist church, and baptists are true fundies down there - that's where the klanners and racists go.

seeing the church do something with a bucket of hot tar, feathers and a rail

all this religious foofaraw won't amount to anything to Sessions. Doubt it will even put a tiny nick in his ego.

I think there is a sneaky secret among wealthy Republicans - they have never believed any of that religious stuff. They just wear it around work and town for show.

They should do nothing; after all, silence is the very best way to counter evil and cruelty. The evangelicals are in charge, so why should anyone else stand up and say "Not all Christians" or better yet, "That's not Christian?" Even more silliness: " All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." Edmund Burke

All of us here on DU talking amongst ourselves about Sessions and Spankys evil policies will have very little effect, other than inciting a few of us to contact our Congress Critters demanding action. Sessions being condemned by his own Church WILL get noticed.

It's not called the Bible Belt for nothing. His family will be shamed, friends and relatives will be emboldened to speak up. This is not something UM take lightly...it is a slap upside the head and he will feel it.

Christian faith because their GAWD is the ultimate racist and hater, and we all know gawd only speaks to them. Just ask Pence.

@Peaceful_411

Legacies are being ruined by these decisions by members of the Trump Admin and Congress. They CANNOT want to go down like this. But yet they still stay & either do overt acts of evil OR nothing at all.

It's time we start asking them what they are being blackmailed with.


@YDanasmithdutra

Agreed. But for Mobile to stand up to Jeff Sessions like this is a REALLY BIG DEAL. This is Sessions home turf. They LOVE that he was standing up to immigration. Remember, Alabama passed the toughest immigrants laws which backfired on our farmers, BADLY, than any other state.

Or Pentacostal etc etc.

Nobody likes this child separation and imprisonment schtick.

The SBC resolution is surprisingly strong. Systematic child abuse is simply too much to ignore.

This is the WHOLE STORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and GOD IS WATCHING!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to know what catholic church is doing to censor "so called Catholics" ryan, conway, Ingram and melanie ...their only response should be to trump...STOP youf policy now! Re-unite families now!

Look for him to have a nice, sanctimonious glow emanating from his scaly but rejuvenated skin, when next you are unfortunate enough to see him.

far too many terrible people have tried to use the Bible to justify doing terrible things.

Sessions will not care if real persons of G-d condemn him

But, they might smoke pot.

Any church that doesn't is a false prophet.

At least this has gotten their attention that he is not a Christian man.

Westboro baptist church??

If not, then that's probably his next stop.

This is his lifelong dream to make America white again. He’s a lifelong racist and will not stop at Hispanics.

that I was raised in.



Maybe I ought to go to church this weekend for the first time in...well, I hate to think how long it's been.

The ads just write themselves. Russia is going to be greatly challenged to engineer another theft of our elections in the mid-terms with this going on.

……if they were to have any clout with him at all, it further promotes the idea that government and religion can should merge.

It really shouldn't matter what the Bible, or a church have to say about any governmental employee —let alone someone in law enforcement and the judicial system.

The form is still dangerous as hell, even though the content for once, is actually ethical.

Yes, but I believe it takes one verbal. and two written warnings first.

Churches work kinda like HR, don't they?

Basically the only news to make me smile today. A small but hopeful step.

I hope she added her name.
