This is the sort of Christian that I don't mind, I think they are wrong but they aren't much trouble.
Now this seems to be the opposite of American Christians who blaze around trying to be the biggest arseholes they can be. (they have to a certain extent spread this over here but only in tiny patches).
What gives?
Why is being a huge dick part of the Christian US agenda?
what exposure do you have with american christian? what the fake news says? their double coverage of the westbrough baptists and the none existant coverage of everyone else? You know the WBB are a family congregation and a neighbor right? Yet every other church who sits hundreds to thousands to mega churches who seat 10,000+ with multiple sermons every sunday and all of their works are completely non existent in the mainstream media. So why would you think, you would think any different of anyone else. You have poisoned the well of ALL american Christians based on the crazy stuff they put on the news.
I swear, you do more to make atheists feel good about their unbelief (and probably getting believers to question their faith) then anything I can think of right now. You're the perfect example of the poisoning of the American christian well.
