Pastor removed after interrupting Sessions speech with Bible verse
Source: The Hill
A pastor on Monday was escorted out of a room after interrupting Attorney General Jeff Sessions's speech with a Bible verse, while calling on the Trump administration official to repent.
"I was hungry and you did not feed me. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me. I was naked and you did not clothe me. I was a stranger and you did not welcome me," the pastor said, quoting a Bible verse while Sessions was giving a speech in Boston on religious liberty. ... I call upon you to repent, to care for those in need, to remember that when you do not care for others, you are wounding the body of Christ," the pastor added.
"Thank you for those remarks and attack but I would just tell you we do our best everyday to fulfill my responsibility to enforce the laws of the United States," Sessions said.
Another person was also removed from the room after standing up and defending the pastor, saying that he was "exercising his free exercise of religion. As that protester was also being escorted out of the room, he called it "hypocritical" given that Sessions was there for a speech on religious liberty.

He was attacked by a bible verse being quoted.

(238 posts)We rotate reading the Scriptures in our church service; yesterday was my time.
I read those very verses:
Matthew 25:35-40 New International Version (NIV)
35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.
37 Then the righteous will answer him, Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?
40 The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.

It never occurred to them they were implanting the seeds of atheism in at least one of their kids.

I was raised in a fundamentalist church. They sincerely believe what they believe and truly believe god is on their side.
I chose to believe in Reason.
