    There are legitimately good Christians and Christian churches, the problem is they actually practice all the “woke” bits in the new testament. They’re humble, empathetic, and quiet – so they get drown out by the human garbage that also call themselves “Christian”.

    There’s a few Unitarian Universalism churches and their offshoots around my city that piss off the “real” Christians by speaking out against fascism and flying pride flags.

      If they don’t speak up and set the record straight, then “Christianity” and Christianity will be one in the same.

        I don’t buy that line of reasoning.

        Other people say the same about minority groups and it’s bullshit.

          A religion is defined by the beliefs and behaviors of it’s followers, if they’re all shitheads acting shitty, it’s a religion of shit. It’s also their choice to join and stay, no one can choose to be, or to continue being, a minority. They also can’t change what it means to be that minority, religions can rewrite their doctrine and dogma anytime they want.

          Are we comparing influential voluntary organizations to powerless ethnic groups? Or is this a poor white men post?
