    As an atheist, I wish there were more Christians like you.

      There are millions of them. You wouldn’t know it though, because they don’t announce themselves.

        Yeah. I’m not religious but I’ve worked with church groups and actually every one I can think of immediately, was out for good and doing Christ things. I think the more prejudicial ones just are more vocal about what they’re doing.

      If I were the devil and this world was mine to see Well, I’d witness all the atrocities and it’d probably frighten me So I’d run back home with a story to tell I’d tell all my demon friends that I always preferred Hell — Colby Acuff

      One of the existential terrors of deconstruction is realizing the human species is plenty capable of evil and atrocity, that no demons are needed

      Then when we’ve seen the absolute worst humans could imagine, Sir David Attenborough comes along holding Nature’s beer.

        Every concept of hell and the details on what earns you a spot there I have always translated to “hell on earth.”

        As in: the things someone would do to earn them a spot in hell creates hell on earth. There is no hell other than the hell people create for us here.

      Good Christians leave because they realize who are in power and what corrupt shit have been going on

      Honestly people US would move naturally to Christianity if the church as a welcoming nonjudgmental place.

      People don’t need to be Evangelicalized. I think there are some lessons the all White Churches could learn from the historically black Church.
