I see another post by a homophobic christian. She's entitled to her beliefs, isn't she?

It's really not surprising how many Christians are homophobic and anti-BLM. That was a huge thing that made me realize how NOT Jesus-like Christianity is.

It’s no coincidence that the ex-vangelical and Christian deconstruction movement happened at the same time as the movement for Black lives. Christian Supremacy is such a huge source of injustice in the US. One of the most important aspects of my own anti-racism journey started with deconstructing the Christian faith that I was raised in.

This is controversial because Christian supremacist ideology is really pervasive in Black churches too. They don't like the racist parts but they do embrace the homophobia and sexism. And they don't see how it's all related.

When you think beyond White supremacy to see that's it's just one part of the umbrella of Christian supremacy, it's really a game-changer. Christian Supremacy is multiple forms of oppression and Supremacy, all wrapped into one.

People can think what they want, but they can't expect everyone else to follow their beliefs + not face the consequences of being discriminatory because it's what they believe in. That's the Christian Nationalist bullshit you see in a lot of countries (thanks, colonizers).

It is frustrating and suffocating. I guess we just have to try to do better and be willing to examine our own flaws, and support the people who are affected by this hateful bs. That includes supposedly more "open-minded" Christians who go around yelling "not all Christians!" when someone points out how hateful many of them are. That offended energy would be better used encouraging other people of their faith to see the humanity in all the different people they hate so much.

It's really difficult for me to understand why anyone who knows even a little bit about the history of the church choses stay and continue to believe it is a "loving religion". You can have spirituality without the bs of organized religion.

@AmbivalentFriability

God brought himself down to earth, to sacrifice himself to himself, to save us from himself and the hell he created. Seems legit. What's your problem?

Seriously, I agree with everything you said. I don't get it either. It's a cult as far as I'm concerned.
