127. When people co-opt their 'faith' and use it as a political device
they should not be surprised when it is treated as a political device. Try to grasp this. It is not up to others to sanctify your faith, it is up to you. But those religious people who go political profane their faith, and it is duplicitous and deceptive to suggest that certain political tools can not be responded to because they have been wrapped up in religious lingo.
When people politicize their faith, it is they themselves who have disrespected it. They are using it for their own worldly agendas.
