@Katie3493 the word Religion means a lot of things, but it should never mean "a tool used to suppress others". The Will of Arceus is that all men should be free, provided they care for each other. The issue with FatherDave is that he was, as the children say it, "shoving his religion down our throat". This goes against every teaching of Arceus.
Arceus teaches us to love each other, regardless of who they are. Be they man, woman, gay, straight, or something in between; be they black, asian, white, or a mixture; be they short, tall, fat, or thin. Arceus bids us to take care of each other, for, in the face of the Ultimate Evil, Giratina, we have nothing but one another.
