Some Christian pastors and politicians argue that school prayer would prevent children from identifying as transgender. LGBTQ rights advocates are fighting back.
I was forced to go to a southern Baptist church for a while in high school, and over the 3ish years I did not hear a single sermon from the New Testament. But, the preacher was a broken record about accepting Jesus as your personal savior.
Imo the Episcopalians got it right. Their philosophy is basically, “If it’s not hurting anyone else, you’re good.”
The world would be a better place if everyone actually followed the teachings of Jesus, because it’s basically just, “don’t be a selfish asshole.”
They want to use religion as an excuse since without that they cannot be against gay or trans people.
That’s the only move in the Christianity playbook.
It’s not like their god explicitly says to not hate to people who are different or anything.
Who am I kidding, it’s not like any of them have actually read the Bible.
I agree, i have read the bible from a outside point of view, and i feel like all these people misunderstand so much at a fundamental level
Granted, this was a while ago, and i dont remember the whole thing. But how can you anyway, its so long and inconsistant
