For the love of God there are a TON of different kinds of Christians. I mean, for crying out loud, a Presbyterian minister was part of a group of protestors that was shot by a rubber bullet while demonstrating against ICE, Bishop Marianne Budde was in the news the day of the inauguration for calling out Trump in her brief sermon at a prayer service that he himself was attending, every No Kings/No Tyrants protest includes plenty of Christian groups (including me and my colleagues who stood with the ACLU). So please stop this bullshit of acting like we all support Trump and right-wing nationalstic policies. Stop acting like my religion is some kind of monolith. If you can differentiate between “Muslim” and “radicalized terrorist” then you sure as shit can learn a few distinctions of us Christians. Be better Vox.
Oh interesting... So when the argument is about the one or two examples on the left, then it's all about how there are a ton of different types of Christians, and see there are good ones!
But when the discussion is and evangelicals, we suddenly get all of the, "well they're not real Christians" arguments.
How convenient that you get to claim the handful of good ones while disavowing all the awful ones. What a clever little situation there.
I know you're out there, and you know you're out there. If it's within you to do so, please continue doing all the good you do, because it is very real. But there is backlash: the church has not policed its own.
At some point Christianity is going to have to address its general I Corinthians (and specifically Romans 2:17-24) problem. Until it does, I am genuinely sorry that you, and other genuine believers like you, are being tarred with the same filthy brush.
