Using the rhetoric of the First Amendment, a string of US Supreme Court cases has allowed members of some religious groups to limit the freedoms of other Americans.
You people are real fucking quiet in the face of Christian Nationalism. You either need better PR or silently can’t wait for the “kingdom of God” to take over and wipe us atheists out finally.
I apologize but I’m not sure I understand. If you mean “us people” as a whole, then I can’t deny that a lot of the anger is justified. The Christian banner has been used to say and do a lot of terrible shit by evil and misguided people.
I may not agree with your stance, but I respect your free will and right to believe what you believe. You have as much a right to exist as anybody else does.
🤣 Thanks. You’re ok too. Everything is so fucked up now and so much of the shit we see and hear every day just stokes the fire. It’s easy to be mad at things we shouldn’t - I do it too. You have a good one, alright?
We try but we’re facing the same horde of angry assholes you are. And no help from the pulpit.
The problem is, modern Christianity is more of a social club than a religion, and too many Christians are afraid of the church-social ramifications of calling out their brothers and sisters in Christ/simply have not committed to letting the teachings of the bible ACTUALLY dictate how they live.
As someone raised Christian, IMO if ur not ready to become a pastor yourself to BE that help from the pulpit, or go have serious conversations with your church leaders, or try and organize church members for a demonstration, or SOMETHING, you’re not actually living out Christian values.
The Christian faith calls you to put aside your personal comfort in order to help others and do what’s right. If you don’t believe strongly enough to follow that through to its’ full extent, what’s the point of being a Christian?
I have to educate my Christian family members on how to be respectful towards LGBTQ+ people because nobody in the church is willing to tell their “brothers and sisters in Christ” that the way they speak of others isn’t Christ-like and is harmful.
Obviously I don’t know what you have or haven’t done, I don’t mean this to say you aren’t trying, but I feel like for people who truly believe the Christian faith it requires pretty radical lifestyle changes that would lead to either reforming the church or being forced out of a congregation.
I love demanding action from random people for the words and actions of assholes because they belong to some incredibly diverse group that also contains shitheads. It’s so much easier than having to recognize people as individuals with their own values and judge them accordingly.
I’m going to go accost some hippie Universal Unitarians and demand they answer for the Westboro Baptist church. Maybe do the same to some Muslims and Jews later.

Damn it I wanna be mad. 😡
You’re ok though.
