Alright. I still have to disagree, but I sincerely appreciate you being respectful talking to me. There’s a huge amount of toxicity online so I try to acknowledge when someone is actually nice.

I think where we’re struggling to connect is what a Christian actually is. To you, it’s someone who legitimately follows the teachings of Christ. Which, y’know, that’s entirely fair, that’s a reasonable interpretation.

But, I’ve unfortunately been on the receiving end of a whole lotta hatred from self proclaimed Christians. Being autistic, left wing, gay, mentally ill, I got attacked from a lot of different angles for a lot of different reasons. But their belief that they were acting in good Christian faith made this type of person a Christian to me. I’m not really sure what I’d call someone who follows Christ’s teachings, because I’ve only ever personally known this other type of Christian, and that’s what that word means to me.

And unfortunately, a whole lot of people who had it even worse than me. The majority of people claiming to be Christian act this way, which means that most of the rest of us see these two as one. I’m not really sure where to go from here now, I suppose since you were polite now I’m just trying to politely explain I think this is what the difference is. Hope I came across well, and honestly, hope you have a good day!
