There's a lot of back and forth going on on this site about the nature of religion (by which pretty much every author means white Christianity, let's be fair) and how it's either bad or good or might be bad right now but just wait because any minute now the mythical 'good christians' will show up and make things ALL BETTER.
Just a couple questions:
Where were the 'good progressive Christians' when I was getting the shit beat out of me by the other kids in the youth group for being a "faggot"?
Where were the "good Christians" when my 13 yr old sister was held down in the parking lot and forced to eat gravel because she refused the sexual advances of the (19 yr old) d deacons kid?
Where were these mythical progressive and good and wonderful people of faith as state after state passed law after law in their names, in the name of "faith" that said "you queers must die"?
Sorry not sorry if you use the label "Christian" i immediately assume you want me dead and are actively working towards that goal.
Not anything to do with you yourself, but that's what all your brethren with microphones and media access have been doing for decades.
If you want the benefit of the doubt you're gonna have to work your ass off for it and I don't think that's unfair, your belief system has caused enough damage already.
