But the Bible is very inconsistent on its messages, which is exactly why it can be used in ways you don’t agree with. Christianity in particular has often been used by those in power to keep their power and subjugate others. It’s certainly not the only religion that has done it, but it is one of the most prominent.
You believe what you want to, but when Christofascists are able to use the same book to push their regressive, violent policies, then maybe you should take a look at why that is.
It doesn’t seem like religion has made you very happy. Or very nice. I get that your username includes angry, and you seem to take that very seriously.
It also seems like you’re not very different from the people you claim are co-opting religion. You are cherry-picking the parts of Christianity that work well for you, while ignoring or downplaying the rest.
I know you’re not going to change your mind, but this approach certainly isn’t doing much to try and convert anyone.
I notice you didn’t actually address the core point of your automatic dismissiveness. How about put your big boy pants on and stop trying to meme your way out of this.
Meaningful discourse? Like when you tell people they make you sick simply because they pointed out that Christianity can be (and mostly is) a negative influence on progressive causes? Good for you if you are a socially progressive Christian, but no need to hate on other people just because they have a different imaginary friend, or none at all.

Sorry to hear you have a neurotransmitter deficiency. I hope you’re able to get some help for the symptoms.
If you don’t have any actual scholarly interest in Operating Thetans, then you aren’t prepared for any discussion involving Scientology.

lol as if you’re qualified to say they don’t exist without knowing the lore. Educate yourself.

My brother in Furry Xenu, you’re in a meme community advertising something awfully silly.
My mistake for thinking there could be meaningful discourse on the internet these days.
Come to my sub where I can shout at you properly.
Sure you go wait there and I’ll be there in just a second
