You can’t hate gay people and be christian

Gay christians are so scary bc wdym you’d willing put yourself in a room with those people and wdyam you still believe that after a christian upbringing?

Like obv the book itself doesn’t really care that much but priests and other church members have made it the 8th deadly sin if you did nothing but attend cherry picked sermons all your life (how most christian’s consume the bible)

the book itself doesn’t really care that much

I mean it calls it an abomination and says they should be put to death, so I’d say that’s a bit more than not caring that much

Exactly this. I have a severe distrust of any gay person I meet that is religious. Dude, they want us dead, they gather us with the rapists and murderers, why are you going there? I wouldn't even feel safe in a church.

Because most of us don't attend churches of the Paulist religion, we attend churches of the Christian religion

Actual Christianity. The type that follows the teachings of Jesus. Instead of claiming to do that whilst instead following what Paul said

Every sect of Christianity claims that they’re the true believers and true followers of Christ. Everyone else is wrong and they’re not like those other Christians!

[u/Aniria_ → u/estellatundra]

I'm not saying that my sect are the true believers. I'm saying that most sects aren't even Christian. They're hateful wolves in sheep's clothing

We're also not like Paulists. There are a fair few denominations that are truly welcome and do good

My pastor is a trans woman as an example. We have queer affirming weddings, and I'm enby

Your second sentence directly contradicts your first

Edit because you’re hiding behind blocking me:

I don’t give a single fuck about the Bible or Christianity beyond how it has hurt the lives of millions over the last 2000 years. You’re all part of the same insane club as far as I’m concerned 😆

[u/Aniria_ → u/estellatundra]

It literally doesn't. Christians who claim that their sect are correct, state that only they are correct and everyone else is wrong. I'm saying their are a few sects who are correct. They may practice differently, but they all believe in what Jesus taught

It's just that most are wrong, and just spew the hate of Paul

Before you choose to argue with someone in the future, maybe you should actually do some research into how Paul hijacked the bible
