4. Holy Mike: Your prayers don't buy you absolution..

Your fealty to a Traitor cancels your God Insurance.
NONE of your performative religious yammering relieves you of your duty to the citizens who rely on you for their safety and stewardship of their Rights. We're not all down with destroying our Country to install a White, small- "c" christian Nationalist Regime. No one has EVER threatened your Right to practice your Faith, yet you threaten MY Right NOT to practice YOUR religion the way you want.
Your penchant for asking forgiveness doesn't excuse your failure to do your duty to ALL, meaning EACH American, not just MAGA 'Murkins.
Do your job like God is watching.
And LEAVE ME ALONE!
