I wish more people understood that there are good Christians out there. I’m not christian myself but one of my best friends is. And not one of those who just say they are but don’t follow any of it. He goes to church every week, waited until marriage and spent one year after high school studying theology full time. And he is one of the nicest people I know. One of his best friends is a trans woman who lives in a polycule and he has no problem with it.
The worst Christians are the ones who don’t listen to their own scripture. It litteraly says right in the new testament, dozens of times, that you shouldn’t judge. Judgment is a sin.
being a decent human being and being religious are basically perpendicular axes. you can be both, or neither, or either or.
some people really go out of their way to make the lives of others miserable, religious beliefs notwithstanding. the local motorbike school recently had to move their training away from an emergency wartime airfield because a nearby farmer dumped like 40 tons of of earth on it. it’s not his land, it’s state-owned, and it’s in the middle of the woods. nobody lives within several km. he just didn’t want people there.
The problem is that the"good christians" still prioritize fighting against abortion #1, and #2 fighting against lbgtqia policies, marriage, etc. Those are THE most important things to them.
I contend that the truly devout should rather denounce their religion so as to not provide cover for monsters who pretend in vain to be something they are not.
But that’s very reductive of me as well, I’m sure it does enough good in some way, but I find it hard to believe in any sort of invisible almighty benevolent figure that has all the power in the universe, and yet we live in a world where if they were real, I couldn’t help but think they are cruel at best.
It’s literally one of their ten commandments (using the Lord’s name in vain). They changed the meaning of it to mean “don’t say Jesus Christ out loud” it’s so fucking stupid.
People who don’t understand that religious rules are only for people that really care about the religion. Even most practicing religious folks aren’t fully Orthodox
You really don’t think LGBTQ affirming Christians exist? That’s just ignorance on your part. Just search LGBTQ affirming churches and you’ll find thousands around the world.

Brain isn’t parsing religious not-piece-of-shit. I know they have existed, but it feels like in the modern context it just doesn’t work.

One thing that every single person of faith has in common is that they’re hypocrites
Oh my God fuck off with your imaginary friend.

I don’t give a fuck lol. Adults who believe in an imaginary fairy in the sky shouldn’t be allowed to vote lol.
