Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
-Óscar Romero

I was attending a church regularly and was kind of enjoying it.

However, the Pastor is getting kind of fundamental, and it's really turning me away. He sometimes rants against homosexuals and drug dealers.

Well, lately he had some guy come in, Dennis Reaner, and he started talking about how he goes to Nicaragua and heals the paralyzed, blind, and people with cancer. Well, that crosses the line into to non-covert charlatan territory.

I told my pastor that the devil is telling me to go back to Thailand and he said something along the lines of 'Why would you go to that vomit place when you have been building something up in Hawaii?' And he keeps trying to scare me with Hell and non-conformity.

Copilot suggest a Unitarian church, so I'm going to do that unless it sucks ass.

I also sent a message to my former pastor that if he and his friend are going to preach healing the blind then they can heal the blind girl who shows up for church sometimes, to practice what he preaches. No response yet.

The guy is bipolar, and he is a charismatic cult leader like David Koresh. He has a manipulative side and once was telling me that Mark Benioff wanted to hire me but I was sleeping too much on a Friday.
