Or maybe the christian church is just wrong. Maybe christianity just attracts the type of predator who wants to take advantage of others in their weakness, by weaponizing god. Maybe a belief system that starts with “suspend your unbelief” gives license to the authority figure to do whatever they want.
Sexual and spiritual abuse is systemic in the church, and extends to all branches of christianity. Don’t forget the Catholics and southern baptists.
My own former church still lists a core belief on their website that the Bible is “without error in the original language”. This is demonstrably false as a matter of fact (not of opinion). Buyer beware. Shame on me for buying when the lie was right there on the package.
So good, Joey. Praying for you, and the Church as a whole. So much deception happening right now. Praying for hearts of forgiveness, discernment and differentiation.
