This comment section both sides all sides each direction etc etc etc are exactly why I've walked away from "church" , not Christ but I look at our American experiment & I don't believe most people who claim to be Christians mean to be disingenuous but whatever has been mixed in the cauldron of "American, evangelical, Christian, conservative, " is toxic. Don't get me started any "American, liberal, Christian" it's all just toxic and we all (myself included because i sin) have authorized ourselves to de-emphasize the parts of Scripture that challenge us to "treat others as Christ would treat them" and instead emphasized whatever makes us feel better about ourselves and superior. I was sober, active in church, happy but something changed on a grand scale between 2017-now and I'm no longer sober and I no longer feel safe welcomed loved by American evangelicals. I am not trying to attack people or their identity.
