As a person of faith, I have been horrified to watch Christianity’s fall from grace in mainstream America. The former president’s legacy stands out as an embodiment of what is missing today from our leaders in Congress, and in church.
I can count on one hand, maybe two, the number of true Christians I’ve met. And I don’t count myself among them when I was “Christian”.
Many Christians use their bigotry and hatred and hide it behind the Bible as an excuse and an appeal to authority. “BeCaUsE tHe BiBlE sAyS sO!” Is not a fucking reason to want to force women to have babies, Karen.
The label on the back of cookies says to only have two per serving. I don’t see you following that rule.
In my experience, every time someone claims “the Bible says so” to justify their own evil, it doesn’t actually say that. And when it seems ambiguous, a little bit of basic academic research clears it right up. And guess what? Still doesn’t say what they say it does. But no amount of evidence or explanation or research will change their minds because it was never important to them in the first place, but a convenient justification for being monstrous. Like you said, “appeal to authority”.

Would it then be acceptable to pick up a rock and practice a lil biblical stoning? “Bible says so!”
