1. Very well put

I'm glad you posted this again because I missed the original OP in GD.

Thanks for speaking up. I resonated with all you said. It is often hard to be a Christian (someone trying very hard to follow Christ) in an atmosphere that has been so poisoned by a noise machine of "Christians" who speak their prejudices and claim them to be Christ's teachings.

I got in trouble in my church about 10 years ago when I said that if we wanted to find Christ, we would find him among the poor and the marginalized, not in a safe and wealthy white suburban church. I included gay people among the marginalized. Honestly, I thought heads would explode.
