Wow, top voted reply. Damn Lemmy is cynical. There are many people out there doing God’s work caring for each other for no recognition, no reward. And certainly there are many folks out there too that make things look really bad, and the media loves to tell that story, but don’t for a moment think that that’s every Christian.
The biggest real-life plot holes and you didn’t expect something that directly affects 8 out of ten people (and indirectly affects the other 2) on the planet to come up?
Anything that affects that many people is going to have real life plot-holes:
America nominally fought its last war in 1945, but we’ve had soldiers fighting and dying in dozens of countries ever since.
Fossil fuels and unregulated pollution is proven to be destroying the recent period of relative climate stability and fossil fuel companies are getting paid by the government to stay in business.
America produces enough food to feed the entire country(and probably several others) but created laws that force you to throw it away.
The best thing these unrecognized christians “doing God’s work” you say exist could be doing to help the world right now is to be actively and vocally trying to oppose the Christians that are currently very loudly advocating for fascism. There is literally no bigger threat right now. There is a clear imbalance in voices in the Christian community. The good Christians could be just as loud if they wanted, they could be setting an example, but they aren’t. People always say it’s just a “few” loud voices when talking about the bad things being said, if it only takes a few to be that loud then why the fuck are the good ones silent?

I don’t think it’s fair to complain about assumed absolute statements and in the next breath say “damn lemmy is cynical”.
Obviously every christian isn’t a hypocrite.
Also obviously, too many are.
You’re right. Just sad to see this being the highest rated comment on something that I really didn’t expect to have at all to do with religion.

Bigger the event, bigger the plot holes.
