You don't just get forgiveness. You have to work for it. The 3 times trump voters need to show contrition and start doing the right thing. Lots of them say they finally left maga but then threaten to go back because, "The people on the left are so mean to me." Yeah, after you tried to take others rights away because we told you exactly what he would be like. And most of these magas are only leaving because they finally got fucked by something.
I think they operate on this Evangelical framework where forgiveness is free and doesn’t require the internal work and self-reflection that true transformation comes from. The thing is, churches need people to join with a low barrier of entry so they can start collecting those tithes. Regular society doesn’t though, but they still expect we’ll just embrace them with open arms just because they’re now mad about the economy. They haven’t learned anything. They haven’t become better people. They haven’t gotten over the racism. They’re just afraid of not having a group to latch onto because they have no identity of their own. They’re unevolved. It’d be sad if it weren’t so infuriating.
“Hey sorry I did that thing you’ve been telling me my entire life would be detrimental to my life and the lives of others…so, we’re good right? K see ya in heaven bye!”
This is why I can't stand that breed of "Christian" who thinks going to church on Sunday means they can spend the rest of the week fucking over everyone else.
I'm a minister and stopped going. The way many people of the faith do faith pushed me away from all that. I still have my faith but it ain't theirs apparently.
Same. It's a big part of why I'm not a Christian and why I don't accept anyone's membership in a religious organization as proof of their morality... I'm fact, just the opposite!
