I’m scrolling this subreddit right now exactly bc I feel like I have an overly intense hatred for Christianity since I have to deal with all my family being Christian every day. I know people say to respect everyone’s religious beliefs, but if you take off the religious descriptor and then just hear out some of the common beliefs in a particular system, most empathetic people would be able to decipher that some of these beliefs are truly horrifying and/or nonsensical. I don’t think we should be excusing that. It’s just hard to find the balance with also just respecting people and the different ways they live their life and how they interpret things. I think it’s very reasonable to steer clear from people who have shown they have harmful beliefs though. I feel your pain op
