[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I struggle with people looking away from suffering and denying others health care, a living wage, and engaging in mass incarceration of poor people. How are they Christian like I am? I do not understand how they can care about abortion but not loving and compassionate about poverty and human dignity. It makes no sense. [/quote]

I do think some Christians focus too much on punishing people for their actions or just for no reason and don’t apply the principles of mercy and compassion into their daily lives. But you have to remember that not everyone who calls themselves Christian is a true Christian. There’s all different types of Christians: good, bad, hypocritical, judgemental. Ultimately how the Bible tells us to treat people is what’s most important. Even if other so-called Christians disregard what Jesus taught, you can still do what you know is right.

And it is hard to see other Christians give Christianity a bad name, but we should take it upon ourselves to educate them to be better. Some people are just lost and needed some guidance to get back on track.[/quote]

Yeah well most Christians are unbelievably hypocritical, judgmental, and cruel (see for example, basically the entire GOP and anyone who supports Trump) and that’s a big reason I can’t stomach organized religion.[/quote]

I understand your point. But there are lots of good Christians in organized religion that I know and who’ve helped me and I try not to let a few bad eggs ruin the whole bunch.[/quote]
