Broad strokes… I know plenty of people who are Christians who attend church and hold very progressive views. I’m sorry that your experience with believers has been so poor. Please do try to remember that nobody talks about the person who isn’t bothering anyone with their beliefs.
I’m in agreement… there are so many kind, compassionate religious people who follow the good parts of the literature that I hate to see the entire religion maligned. Some people are better because of it.
Once again, you are painting with broad strokes. If a bad apple spoils the bunch then all of humanity is bad apples. A Christian following the teachings of Jesus in Scripture over the cultural American WASP perception of what those teachings are, does not necessarily enable those WASPs to do harm.
Many of them do speak out against and actively oppose those who use religion as an excuse for bigotry.
Then some idiot responds with “No True Scotsman” and thinks they made a brilliant retort against someone who you would think they would be on the same side as.
No those people just are friends and enabling the pedos of their local church. You are the people you associate with and the church is the biggest pedo organization on the planet.
Meanwhile I’m here struggling to remember when exactly Christians cared about what Jesus told them to do.

They enable the ones who do cause problems.
Helping others do harm but not physically doing it yourself does not absolve you of responsibility.

Do they associate with people 2000 miles away? Or do they just like the same book?
Is everyone who enjoys Lord of the Rings responsible for the actions of other LotR fans?
Can you read? “Of their local church” is what I clearly stated.
Take your straw man elsewhere.
You think every church has pedos in it and you accuse me of building a straw man?
Statistically yes. Yes they do. The Catholic Church alone has the highest percentage of pedos from ANY organization.
In the most recent news it’s once again not trans or gay people grooming children, it’s the fucking leader of a church. AGAIN.
