    I hate this type of attempt to separate Christians into groups when all of them are awful to varying degrees.

        True, but Christians are external with their imperfections.

            Buddy, I grew up neck deep in the church. There are NO GOOD CHRISTIANS. Period. The idea that you need a spiritual tour guide to determine right from wrong is proof enough.

              You grew up in a church or a few churches. There’s no such thing as “the” church… In a lot of churches, morality is kind of a very secondary thing for example, and the idea that someone has to be pure is totally foreign.

              You obviously had a very bad experience growing up, and there are a lot of very fucked up communities, so it’s not surprising. But saying “the Christians are…” is no different than saying “the people engaged in a political party are…” without distinguishing between Democrats, Republicans and third parties. You can’t say for example that DSA is a fascist party because the Republicans are.
