    I think at this point we can stop calling it Christianity because it obviously has nothing to do with a messiah religious character from the middle east.

      Come now, modern day American Christianity has nothing in common with the Roman Catholic faith that spawned the Reformation in 1519, where the pope and his cardinals openly sold penances and salvation for money.

      As opposed to all the times in the past where it had more to do with zealotry towards a figurehead (kings, saints, martyrs, etc) or outright heinous acts. This is what Christianity has always been. It was only ever about peace and love on paper. It’s always been about idolatry and control in practice.

      No, this is Christianity. You don’t get to just disown large swathes of your religion because they make your hateful ideology look as bad as it actually is.

      If anyone is “not really Christian,” it’s the ones who claim to be LGBTQ+ friendly.
