If you support imposing your religion on the rest of us, and that's all you care about, then I suppose not.
But then, why speak of a rationale, since your views are so irrational?
They impose their SJW values on me so I think fair is fair.
Jesus was a Social Justice Warrior. He opposed the corruption. hypocrisy, and inequity of His time. I could imagine Him coming back to see what people have done with His Ministry, and much of it isn't good.If you claim to be a Christian and still support Donald Trump, then you support someone that I best describe as someone of a wide variety of deep sins. You probably just saw how I saw a large number of televangelists. The Prosperity Gospel is a hideous fraud utterly inconsistent with Jesus' Teaching; I look at the Sermon on the Mount (which is the essence of Christianity, and you can throw out practically the rest of the New Testament as fluff) and see a message that the purpose of a Christian is to bring dignity to those in hardship.
Knocking down the tables of the money-changers and driving the cattle out of the Temple are clearly deeds of a Social Justice Warrior.
