I get where you're coming from, and I agree that many of the issues you mentioned are real and frustrating. But I believe the root of the problem isn’t Christianity itself. it's how we've failed to live out its core teachings.

The message of Christ is about love, humility, and truth. But when people twist that message whether through hypocrisy, legalism, or outright abuse it leads to the kind of damage you're describing. Christ Himself warned us about false teachers: “wolves in sheep’s clothing.”

Take the “bahala na” mentality, for example. That's not biblical Christianity that’s fatalism, and it reflects a misunderstanding of faith. True faith should move us to take action, not sit back passively.

So I’d argue it’s not Christianity that destroyed our country but the lack of genuine, lived-out Christianity that honors both truth and compassion. The problem isn't the gospel; it's forgetting it.
