That’s sort of my point. I don’t see any of that outside of the inner spaces, and the loudest voices give an image that this is how all Christians are. If within Christian circles there is a constant argument going on about what is and isn’t “Christ-like” then great, but it’s not helping if that isn’t obvious in public. The very post I replied to was in the framework of “a Christian spoke about what’s going on and was opposed to it” as if that is an unusual thing to hear. It shouldn’t be, I’m sure there are a lot of believers who aren’t happy, but they aren’t talking loud enough to counter or drown out the ones who are all for it.
Okay but… do you believe everything that Donald Trump says? Like how he represents all Americans, or Republicans/conservatives, or Christians, or whoever? If you believe that, and also believe those like Charlie Kirk, then doesn’t that say more about you than about them?
It is extremely well-known that for-profit enshittified news sources will spew enrage-bait content into your face. That does not make such content “true facts”, nor does it make it “mainstream”. Please do not rely upon Facebook, Threads, Tiktok, Instagram, X, or even YouTube, etc. for your “news” - they all paint a highly distorted view of reality.
Hate, love, or view Christians as they are, not as social media paints them to be. Likewise Americans. Or Muslims, or LBGTQIA+ individuals, etc. Perhaps mainstream Christians may even be avoiding social media altogether?
