not all Christians are assholes who touch kids. a lot of (not saying all) the atheists here are absolutely wild
They may not all be pedos, but a lot more are assholes who hate homosexuals and trans persons, or assholes who want to deny women their reproductive rights, or assholes who keep voting for far-right extremists. Just because a lot of Christians are "nice people" doesn't mean that their ideology causes any less harm.
I must've grew up in a very different household then most American's. Practicing religion with my family the Christian ideology shouldn't be any of those things, it should be to spread peace and love, "love thy neighbor".
Anyone who's a far right extremist especially in 2024 I completely agree are all assholes, but I hope I can reiterate that "Trumps Christians" is its own religion and ideology entirely, and a lot of other people, especially those practicing religion in other countries, are actually those peace wanting love spreading people that Jesus was actually trying to spread to his followers, we are commanded not to judge others for we do not have the right to judge, but also not to condemn others for the same reason. Instead, we're commanded to spread peace and love to all of God's children. That's at least what I've been taught in my church, my family, and by reading the bible myself. We do not agree with those ideologies (being a general dick head, being judgmental, harassing people, restricting woman's rights, etc etc) and anyone who does may believe in Jesus but are not followers of him if thats their purpose in life. And it sucks ever since Trump we've all been categorized into that group and painted as the same thing, which is what makes me despise him even more.
It seriously hurts to see how many Church's and Christians have become so unbelievably fucking evil in the states.
