Evangelicalism taught us to boycott anytime we weren't in lock-step with the values of an org/company, and now wonders why a bunch of us are walking away from them? /🧵
Reminder: walking away from Evangelicalism does not equal walking away from God. Or even church.
If Proctor & Gamble couldn't have my dollars because their logo consisted of a moon and stars (#SatanicPanic!) the Evangelical church can't have my support because of all the Nationalism, Racism, and rampant betrayal of what I was taught to hold dear.
You taught us what to love. Then abandoned it for a flimsy replica of power. Then tied yourselves in knots trying to figure out why we're filing out of your buildings? Really?
We're holding the line. We're doing our best to be that flicker of light. We still have those WWJD bracelets you gave us and the question still means something to us.
You taught us to pack up at the hint of trouble. To search for meat, not milk. To run from a "bad influence." Thank you for teaching us how to leave you. /end
