A pastor friend of mine told people on facebook that they should not complain about riots unless they add a disclaimer about the injustice of Floyd being killed in his arrest.

This is my response:
There is only so much street preachers can do, only so much pastors can do in their own little corner of the world, but America is being taken over by the godless left while the right claims to be believers.
Knowing right from wrong from the Bible is the only way, but let us not fool ourselves into knee jerk responses to leftist causes so we dont look racist.
We have been conditioned to respond to every dog whistle the left throws at us, to silence ourselves against pure evil.
If all we do is genuflect each time a cop kills someone and let that tragedy influence our understanding of right and wrong, then we will do no more than allow much worse things to happen to us.
There were 19 people shot in Chicago last week, did you post anything about that?
How many people are being herded like sheep to listen to godless claims of every person of a certain ethnic group is guilty of all things or are we standing up and telling them that the Bible condemns us all of sin?
We are losing our rights and freedoms because we fail to present the gospel and the people refuse to repent when we do.
But under no circumstances should we feel led to apologize for someone else’s crimes so we dont look racist while angry mobs of the unsaved destroy the very city they themselves live in and destroy all means to live and feed themselves and try to justify a billion dollars of damage because a person they never met was killed by a man they never met and it all is one opposing ethnic group’s fault.
It is the fault of the individual, not an entire ethnic group in any case, either cops or rioters, each person involved is guilty, not everyone else in their family or neighborhood, and if you insist on any comment to be preceded with a disclaimer, then you diminish the severity of what these riots are actually doing: They are emboldening the godless to riot even more and to reject truth when spoken.

Your pastor is a fool.

I am disappointed in the church and how it is handling both the virus and now the riots. Hand wringing and guilt trips.
