MODERATORS
It seems likely that they’re just too fucking busy. I know plenty of young people that are still religious whether or not they care for Trump.
Remember, some of the strongest arguments for American chattel slavery were made by Christians.
Christian schools were the last legally segregated schools in the country. You could still get kicked out of Bob Jones university for dating someone that the university decided was a different "race" at least into the 90s.
Quakers are mostly actually a force for good in my experience, Episcopalians have some good stuff going on... And you notice how those are the dying congregations?
The core of Christianity was never good works, if it was the Quaker and Episcopalian sanctuaries would be overflowing. That's the outlier.
The major goal has always been control and coercion, look at which churches are growing.
A backwards ticking clock appears accurate more frequently than a stopped one.
Church has always been shit. My parents made me go to catechism after school for most of my childhood and if you are different (autistic, queer, etc) they are very quick to exclude you and they make it very clear that you aren't welcome as you are. I never made my confirmation despite my parents' best efforts cause I kept skipping class because I did not want to be anywhere near those people nor do I want to be associated with them in any way.
Thank god for that!
I see what you did there.
The problem isn't spirituality, it's industrialized religion that uses ancient teachings of natural law as way to control people. They separate each of us from God/Light/UniversalEssence by claiming to be the bridge to it.
The problem is people making shit up. There is no evidence, argument, or reason suggesting the existence of any god. It is backwards, wishful thinking and very harmful.
Magic isn't real, nor are spirits and souls. Reality is endlessly fascinating, please do not obscure it. People are dying because the average human thinks it's okay to treat assumptions like facts. Accountability is impossible when you've normalized delusion.
If you are assuming God is a person in the sky you have already lost at life.
It's no less bullshit than the American left and right ideologies or our fake democracy driven by psychological manipulated marketing. Our American government is industrialized religion 2.0. It's called "the game".
Distilled truth is worth more than America, western culture, and industrialized religion. Distilled truth is timeless and constant and what was abused for profit and control.
A lot of spirituality is woo used to exploit people too.
Yeah.
It's up to each person to not be stupid.
That's how industrialized religion got people. It's the same way the American government gets the left and right.
industrialized religion
AKA literally what Jesus was preaching against.
Kids shouldn't be in church anyway, and especially not with Trump.
Or with clergy…
Fantastic news
Trump is just the latest in a long line of hypocrisy the modern church is built on. Their 'sins' are endless and on full display in Trump's America.
