What is it that makes Sesame Street a topic of such division? Guess it ties back to its commitment to diversity... ;)

Notice how it's always "the Bible must be taken literally!" until God says, "When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself (Leviticus 19:33-34). " - Rev. Benjamin Cremer

We are actually living in a time where some Christians see mercy as offensive, empathy as a sin, and diversity, equity, and inclusion as a threat. "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness." -Isaiah 5:20 Lord, have mercy. - Rev. Benjamin Cremer
