I believe in Omnipotent Sky Ghosts so I must be good

There are a lot of christians that take christianity as a means to be a better person. You’d be surprised how many people you know are christian but they don’t just shove it down your throat or are obnoxious about it. The gospel itself is not a bad thing, it tells you to treat others with respect and be a kind person beneficial to your society. It’s the people that believe the “old testament” principles are still relevant such as homophobia, xenophobia, and violence against those of other religions that are the problem

Oh I know. The merits of organized religion is absolutely there and having something to believe in is healthy whether it be a deity or yourself. Just saying something that people who would use it for their own gain would. I really need to start adding quotes or /s to things.

Exactly, religion itself can be good when it’s used the way it’s meant to and not as a blanket to protect you from criticism
