They are all Christians, every single one of them. They’ll even tell you so themselves. There are—god-I-don’t -believe-in how many denominations of Christianity, and the God of them all has never been able to make his express intentions clear.
Just because someone says they are a Christian does not mean they are a Christian. Were the kings and soldiers who slaughtered nonbelievers during the Crusades Christians? A Christian is someone whose life expresses Christ. As the old folks used to say in church, you can't "claim Christ and live like the devil".
The ‘’no-true-christian” fallacy is employed on both sides of the divide.
I am an atheist. I don’t care what people believe. If it makes their lives better, and them better people, I’m all for it. But unfortunately, a lot of the time. It doesn’t make them better people. It makes them worse, because their “beliefs” justify their actions.
What I care about is what they DO with those beliefs. And when god is used to justify what cannot be justified by any other means, i’m going to object. When faith is used as a club against people they don’t like, i’m going to object.
As a gay man, i’ve been on the receiving end of ‘christian” “love”— double quotes necessary— for at least 60 years. And I object. Want to believe that being gay is a sin? Have at it, knock yourself out. Want to criminalize me for displeasing your god, disenfranchise me from the benefits of society, justify lying about me, blame me for the problems in heterosexual society, especially religious heterosexual society?
I’m going to object. As often and as strongly as I can.
NJ… there’s so much wrong w the country right now. It’s never been so bad that we’d agree to let people starve. Congress and the Senate should be ashamed. Daddy Rump should be in a nursing home.
My Medicare Part D is doubling next year, and my Medicare is going up, and my Medigap is going up. My Social Security check will be LESS on my December check.
