I'm not a #Christian. But if I'm wrong and #Jesus really is coming back, I hope he does it soon, and gives a good talking to people preaching hate against #LGBT people in his name. As a queer #trans US-American, I'm really reaching the limits of my capacity to deal with this religious bigotry.
Christians, either fix your churches or leave them.
@funcrunch this is frustrating to me too but this article really just misunderstands what it means to be a Christian and asks us to do something actually against our religion as we cannot fix people nor is it our job to do so as believers (despite what religious folks will frustratingly tell you).
So calling us to fix those communities is calling us to disobey our God who taught us to dust our feet of people who refuse to love like Jesus taught us to love.
You have the power to either work to change the practices and teachings of your church, or find another church.
@funcrunch Yes, this is why I don’t have a traditional church. Church to me is gathering with other believers, not gathering at a specific building.
The institutions are largely not of God thus we are to walk away, not try to reform them.
Because truly, no human has the power to change another human. Only God has that power.
