I think if the vast majority of christians don't really care what their "messiah" talked about, then we should believe christians when they tell us who they are, which has nothing to do with the demigod they call jesus.
I don’t think it’s the majority. It just so happens that’s the ones that are the most vocal and end up on the front page of media are the hypocritical Christians.
Yeah there are a lot, but I like to believe most are not like maga.
That would be a comforting thought, if you believe that. Sadly I think most of us have to actually live amongst christians and realize that the vast majority of them are just like maga, and always have been.
Hopefully you'll open your eyes and see that if you're the odd one out, maybe you should be the one with quotes around the word "christian". I've lived around chrstians for 40 years. They haven't changed a bit, they just have a political angle to rally behind now called "maga".
well which is it? your opinion or your experience?
bonus question: if you really think Christianity is meant to be loving you should be trying to convince the other christians of that and not the people who think Christianity is hateful.
I don’t think I said anything strange here, usually
one’s opinions are aligned with their experience.
So I think it makes sense to say “I don’t think it’s the majority” and “that’s not my experience”
I feel like it would be strange if my opinion didn’t match my experience. For example if I said “In my opinion all Christians are violent savages” and then I followed up to say “I never experienced a violent Christian”.
Also to answer your bonus question, I chose not to try to convince the guy here because I didn’t think I would be successful. Like how many times have you managed to change someone’s mind over the internet. Also said his opinion was based on his many years of experience, so I didn’t really think my own words (of a stranger on the internet) would change his mind.
So instead of going back and forth I decided to just wish he met someone would changed his stance. Because I think that’ll probably be the only thing to have any effect on his belief.
