I do the same thing when someone tells me they are Christian, it’s easier to simply step back and see what their actions really say about who they are.
"I think we, as Christians, need to-"
"OH YEAH?! Prove that you were naturally born a Christian! I'm not gonna listen to some trans-religious hypocrite! Also, show me your genitals. Only genitals know the truth of gender and religion."
Good comment but I also just wanted to say I love your username
As a Christian myself, I agree. It's been sickening to me to see the behavior exhibited by people who call themselves Christians, especially in recent years. I don't blame anyone for having unfavorable opinions about Christians. It's no wonder, when so many "Christians" who say they follow Jesus look nothing like him. Instead of love, compassion, and integrity they display hate, cruelty, and hypocrisy. It's like half the church just lost its mind. Christians had such an opportunity during COVID to put on display what being Christ-like is all about, and while some Christians did, as a whole we completely fumbled that opportunity.
All I can say is that I'm sorry for what everyone is seeing from those people. On behalf of all Christians, I'm so sorry. Just know that we're not all like that. Not that any of us is perfect, but some of us recognize the complete and utter lunacy of it. And please know that what they're doing IS NOT what following Jesus is all about. The people with whom Jesus was harshest were the religious people who thought they were being righteous...I think the same would be true now.
Again, I'm so sorry for all of it!
As a non denominational Christian that is sickened by the abuse by power hungry "Christians" I'm out here with you :). I get a raised eyebrow now and then since my boyfriend is a Jewish socialist, but honest to God he displays more characteristics of what we're supposed to strive for in loving and caring for others than the majority of self proclaimed Christians I meet.
As a Christian I agree.
