My dad had most news stations blocked from their cable before he died, and my mother is so anti technology she doesn't know how to undo it or use a computer, so she's doing a bit better? She's always been racist and homophobic but Fox News ramped her up to levels of anger I couldn't believe. Cutting that off caused almost a personality switch, but I'm quick to be blunt about it when needed.

I’m sorry try you have to deal with someone like that. I know what that’s like, and it sucks. Speaking from personal experience, I used to be somewhat bigoted, I was somewhat racist, and pretty transphobic. I found myself looking for people to blame for issues in my own life, rather then dealing with it maturely. And I regret it a ton. But as I learned more about the world and about people, it allowed me to emphasize with other groups I used to think of differently, and humanize them. Educating oneself sure does make you more open minded, and willing to get to know people of different experiences. You find majority of people are similar then they are different, and that’s why everyone deserves empathy and compassion. Does your mom like learning? Maybe teaching her about stuff could be helpful.

Yeah, no true
ScotsmanChristian would be like that.Sorry, but they are Christians and Christians can be assholes too. We shouldn't pretend that people aren't actually Christians whenever they are assholes or do terrible things. When other religions have people do/say horrible things we don't say they aren't really that religion. For instance when there's a terrorist attack carried out by a Muslim you pretty much never hear people say "they aren't a true Muslim." There are good people and bad people in every religion.

I don't know. They worshiped and adore a god that commands genocide against neighboring countries that are different than them and says that if you don't tell him he's super awesome he will torture you forever in hell
This sounds exactly like Christians to me. Of course this is who they are. It is literally who they worship. Yahweh the god of the Bible is a genocidal maniac and they adore him

The conundrum of opening your doors to love every person is that it includes people with unfavorable personalities. In theory the church should be offsetting the antisocial behavior created by the internet by creating community spaces, in practice people would rather stay online and throw petty shade at it. Pretty sad.

u/ProtestantMormon 3h ago
There is a lot you can say about the catholics, but they at least have a decent understanding of their theology and have a consistent worldview because of it. I don't agree with their stance on life at conception, but they are at least consistent. Same goes for the bulk of old world denominations like anglicanism, lutheranism, etc.
I'm most familiar with the Anglican church since my dad is an episcopal minister. He got an undergrad in theology, went to divinity school, got masters in theology when I was a teenager after he had been ordained and practicing for years. There is a level of scholarship or theological understanding in older, more traditional sects of Christianity, so they can at least rationalize their worldview, even if someone else disagrees. None of that exists in the evangelical world, and that is the way most Americans are exposed to Christianity, by some charismatic preacher pulling verses out of their ass.

u/TheRadicalDadical 14h ago
Um... it's absolutely consistent with our beliefs. It's just not consistent with theirs. Jesus literally set it out as one of the most important things we are to do.
Matthew 22 : 36-40
36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?"37 Jesus said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 A second likewise is this,You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments."
It's right there in verse 39, and Jesus himself says it is one of the 2 most important things we can do. Fine example of why I consider myself a Christ follower and not a Christian in America. The two are not the same.

The most malicious form of hatred could be the one that labels itself "love". And that seems embedded in their theology to be honest.
