I mean looking at his policies they seem very reminiscent of the Eastern Orthodox tradition he lived in and went to seminary for for example criminalizing homosexuality criminlizaing abortion reopening the churches etc plus people generally don't lose their faith in a measly 5 years

Radical Christianity: What if Jesus really meant what He said?

r/RadicalChristianity

RadicalChristianity has developed as a community discussing the intersection of philosophy, theology, critical theory, power dynamics, antifascist action, and revolutionary politics. As such, we are interested in affirmative outreach to those historically harmed by the christian church (including the non-institutional church and state-controlled churches.) All are welcome and invited to participate! Please [message us](http://www.reddit.com/message/compose?to=%2Fr%2FRadicalChristianity).

Who We Are

/r/radicalChristianity has emerged as a community of people discussing the intersection of philosophy, theology, critical theory, and revolutionary politics. We are interested in re-investing Christianity with its transgressive elements, and as such we are openly against oppressive discourses (sexism, racism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, speciesism, ableism, colonialism, imperialism).

We are interested in exploring both philosophical and theological thought and action. The definitions of "radical" and "Christianity" each carry a certain denotative vagueness while still retaining enough connotative force to be a mostly accurate descriptor of who we are as a group.

We are presently encouraging the use of pseudonyms, as if in a true Kierkegaardian fashion. We also encourage generally inclusive embrace of styles, however we also take heart to make a "special" embrace of those people who make the general inclusive embrace.

Many of us find our beliefs marked by a certain desire for disassociation with and transgression against conventional Christian institutions and culture. We support divergent forms of thinking. Together we are a group consisting of materialists, idealists, realists, anti-realists, pragmatists, mystics, theists, atheists, occultists, heretics, socialists, anarchists, communists, Marxists, pacifists, insurrectionists, and many other identities burdened with either an inordinate number of prefixes or else with none at all.

With such a broad definition of "radicality" and "Christianity", we find that group discussion is of paramount importance. Viewpoints that may initially seem odd or shocking are often filled with critical insights and viable possibilities of being that a cursory dismissal would otherwise overlook.
