What is a genuinely terrifying fact?

@bijouxbroussard We're not all like that🩷

@PromiseProtectionProvision No, I know that. It’s just that the ones who are, really are. 🥺

@bijouxbroussard This is part of a more general phenomenon within American Evangelical Christianity: some pastors are getting angry responses from church members because of the "liberal talking points" in their sermons.

The "liberal talking points" are the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.

@DrWatson Exactly. And it’s mind-blowing that they don’t recognize it when they hear it.

@bijouxbroussard Actually, I have read some analyses of this that explain it, but the explanation is equally depressing. In a nutshell, some American Christians essentially believe that the Gospels no longer apply today, because we are now supposedly in the era of the Book of Revelation. (The "end times.") It is now all about God's wrath. (I have oversimplified a complex argument here, but that's the gist of it.)

@bijouxbroussard Sorry lovely I wasn't trying to be rude, but I definitely know what you are talking about. Some are high on they're horse, judgemental and unpleasant. I think we're supposed to love everyone and show kindness and mercy. I have a hard time wrapping my head around it. I feel we are all connected and the goal of life (mine anyways) is that we are here to HEAL each other, not kill each other. One act of kindness has a domino effect that can be contagious. I wish the world would have a pandemic called Agape! 🫂
