“Today, I want to ask you something simple—but it’s the most important question of our time:

Who do you want to serve?
The god of deportation—or the God of diversity?”

“I’m not here to convince you. I’m not here to sell you anything. I’m here to speak what’s burning inside me. Words that won’t let me sleep until they’re spoken.”

The God of Deportation: Fear, Control, and Division

The god of deportation is built on fear, separation, and hate.
It’s a law without empathy.
And let me tell you something—a law without love is nothing more than a jail sentence.
Not just physically, but mentally, spiritually.

This god feeds on control. It’s a system that enforces opinions as absolute truth, with no room for compassion, no space for humanity.
It’s the god that cheers when families are ripped apart.
The god that watches children cry behind barbed wire—and feels nothing but pride.

They sit in their high places, writing laws like weapons.
They enforce those laws with brutality, not justice.
And they hide behind flags and slogans, pretending it’s about safety when really—it’s about fear.

This god thrives on lies.
It tells you, ‘Be afraid of the immigrant.’
‘Be afraid of the other.’
But the real danger? Is the system that taught you to fear.

And remember the words of Christ:
‘Whatever you have done to the least of them, you have done unto me.’
So when we turn our backs on the vulnerable, the oppressed, the displaced—we’re turning our backs on our very humanity.”

The Hypocrisy Exposed: The God They Claim to Serve

They’ll tell you they serve the God of the Bible.
The Christian Nationalists will stand on stages, waving Bibles like swords, shouting about righteousness.

But even their own book says:
‘‘You can do all these great things—burn your body, speak with the tongues of angels—but if you don’t have love? It means nothing.’

Nothing.

And Jesus? He said, ‘By their fruits, you will know them.’
You know an apple tree because it grows apples.
So let’s look at the fruit of this society:

  • Wars.
  • Deportations.
  • Genocide.
  • Colonization.
  • Lynching.
  • Brutality.

What kind of tree grows that fruit?
That’s not the God of love. That’s the god of deportation—the god of hate.

And as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us:
‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’
Discrimination against one of us is discrimination against us all.

Let’s talk a bit more about love; Love is deeper than what we see in the movies. Love is kindness, sacrifice, giving, and stewardship.

So I’ll ask you again:
What fruit are you eating from?
What tree are you growing in your heart?”

The God of Diversity: Creation, Abundance, and Freedom

“Now, let’s talk about the God of diversity.

The God of creation.
The God who painted the skies with stars, filled the oceans with life, and carved mountains that touch the clouds.

This planet has existed for billions of years—without us.
It doesn’t need mankind. But we? We need it.

  • Free air.
  • Free water.
  • Free food growing from the earth.
  • A diversity of animals and plant life
  • A universe that invites you to dream.

No borders. No flags. No walls.
Nature doesn’t check your passport. The trees don’t care about your race. The rivers don’t discriminate.

That’s the God of diversity.
A God who doesn’t hoard.
A God who gives.

But here’s the truth:
This God won’t ‘save’ us.
It already gave us the gift: the power to choose.
To create—or to destroy.
To love—or to hate.
To build bridges—or to build walls.

DEI isn’t the problem.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are part of the solution to a society that was built on slavery, genocide, and Jim Crow.
We must find the road back to peace, kindness, and love.
Because that road has always been there—we just have to choose to walk it.

We Are the Gods of This Planet (Personal Reflection

Here’s what I believe:
We are the gods of this planet.
We’ve been given the power to shape it however we want.

We can build a world filled with love, kindness, empathy, and forgiveness.
Or—we can create a society rooted in hate, fear, and control, where a handful of people dictate how the rest of us live.

And the saddest part?
Most people don’t even want power and riches.
They just want peace.
To raise their kids safely.
To enjoy their neighbors.
To feel the sun on their faces without fear.

But the god of deportation won’t allow that.
It thrives on chaos.
It survives by convincing us that we are enemies when, in truth, we’re all just human beings trying to find our way.”

The Final Question (Call to Action)]

“So here’s my question—
Not just for you, but for all of us:

What God do you choose?
The god of deportation—or the God of diversity?

Think hard.
Because whether you realize it or not, you’re making that choice every single day.

And I’m not done.
I’ve got more to say.
So come back—let’s keep this conversation going.

Because this isn’t just my voice.
It’s yours too.”
