Any Christian who uses "woke" as a pejorative just exposes themselves for who they really are. And that's how it should be, we need to know who they are. P.S. The religious narcissists have overplayed their hand, missing such a glaringly obvious fact, that being "woke" simply means being aware, being kind, empathetic and compassionate. In other words, being a good Christian. This blunder is similar to the "cancel culture" blunder, where the abusers complain about the "cancel culture" not realizing that they are exposing themselves as the "abuse culture". This is how hidden secrets are brought out to light, and the perpetrators do it themselves, without realizing it. 😏

[@DragonKnightX12]

My great Aunt Diane had his transcripts from the University of Santa Clara, and he was a C student. He was not a leader in school. This person was not a serious student; he wasn't Academic.This jock was out of his league dealing with Diane, he has a lot of nerve. This average student became Governor of California somehow.
