Welcome to c/Christianity

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I got taught the opposite at Sunday school because my parents attended a Baptist church. I remember the acronym TULIP and being told that we are all guilty of sin before God. Then we moved to another Baptist church that was not a reformed church and rejected Calvinism, but was full of evangelical brainworms

Must have been rough, especially since I got a lot of shit at my slightly more progressive Sunday school anyway for asking my little autistic kid questions

It only got rough later, I was pretty much a true believer in evangelical Christianity, young earth creationism, etc until I was 14 years old or so. Then I started questioning, and by 16 I was an atheist and no longer attended church
