    Don’t do the whole “not real Christians “ bullshit. They are Christians, these are the dregs of Christianity, it’s ugly side. Own it and fix it instead of saying “he’s not a REAL Christian” as if they’re the only problem and not the belief system itself.

        Yes they are. Because they say so. And that’s literally all it takes.

        These people are the results of your religion’s teachings. They are the after birth and they are your people. Stop dodging the truth.

          They’re not though. A misrepresentation of their own faith so bad that it almost seems deliberate is a fault of how they follow their religion and not the religion itself. In the same way I wouldn’t call a climate scientist a real climate scientist if they thought climate change was false.

            I spent over 25 years brainwashed and living in an evangelical community. I saw many a Christian doing evil in my time in the church and the teaching itself were insidious and low key bigotry disguised with bullshit love. It’s all a cult. I’m glad I got out, I know and suffered plenty enough to have an opinion, even if you want me to stay silent cause it makes you mad.

            I’m sure Jesus loves your language lol

      What’s the problem with the belief system? Sounds like in your eyes, the best Christianity is no Christianity.

        At its best it’s an antiquated belief system that has no real world applications in our world. It’s only good moral messages are common sense things you should already know, the rest is just filler and opinions and fictions, concocted, edited and man made books, picked by committees of old religious leaders and oligarchs. The teachings of Christianity have done nothing but fuel colonizers and monsters throughout history

        Probably the cherry-picking of which beliefs to follow based on convenience, rather than just wanting to be a better person for the sake of it.

        Which denomination would you like me to focus on to answer this question?

        And yes, frankly I think in a lot of cases no Christianity in the modern era would be better than none.
