    I’m 100% convinced that if Christ came today the majority of white American Christians would call him a demon and one of them will end up shooting him. Especially if he came back as a man of color that spread anti-capitalist ideas and hung out with the poor, sick, and unwanted. They’d never, ever, tolerate that.

    IF Christianity is true, a large amount of souls of self-proclaimed “Christians” are in danger of damnation. They are actually doing Satan’s work for him. The issue are the ones 100% certain they are “saved” while spouting racist, evil things at the same time. How do you talk to people like that? How do you convince them that they are in fact 100% wrong and likely going to the same hell they claim everyone else is going to? I’m an atheist, so most wouldn’t even take me seriously.

      Healed the sick

      Conservative Christians : “Healthcare is communism!”

      Welcomed weary travelers

      Conservative Christians : “Send them back to their own country!”

      Forgives other people he believes goes against the teachings of god and cares for them

      Conservative Christians : “Your love is not natural and you shouldn’t exist!”

      They just want to feel like they are righteous and good

        You forgot the best past. He hung out with a group of men and one woman, and the one woman wasn’t any of the men’s girlfriend. Conservative Christians would perhaps thought this was an unnatural arrangement.

      Yeah, that’s what I always think. For me (German), Christianity is mostly acceptance of other people, empathy, caring for people who have it worse than you, loving your next, etc. Which in policies is… being for welfare, donating, accepting LGBTQ+ and supporting them, etc.

      Evangelicals have always confused me because they are against everything Jesus stood for.

      I mean look what happened to MLK Jr…

      The FBI would probably investigate him and then he’d be murdered by white supremacists.
