Conservative evangelicals literally teach people how to be mean. The system is toxic to the core.
I know progressive Christianity is problematic too, but I'll take it ANYDAY over the blatant violence against vulnerable people that I still see in conservative evangelicalism.
I sometimes critique Progressive Christians for being fauxgressive and not being clear about certain views, but man, conservative evangelicals obscures their views to NEXT LEVEL. They say they love when they HATE. It's so chilling.
and yes, this is a series of angry tweets in response to something that happened in real life. I am reminded of how UNSAFE that world is, even one interaction has thrown me into disequilibrium in the face of that level of violence. honestly folks, #EmptyThePews
run, don't just walk. From someone who walked away for a little while now, the longer you're out, the more you realize how toxic it was to be in it. I'm grateful everyday to be out. So for the love: get out, get out, get out.
