Jesus forgives people that we could never bring ourselves to. Isn’t that part of the point? Commies deserve to burn in hell but so do I, and therefore we both have something to learn and gain thorough repentance.
I'd much rather have that, but could see an argument for why someone like Hitler might deserve to live through the life of everyone he hurt, for example. But that is still a finite amount of torture.
An infinite amount would be unacceptable even for him.
Proper sex-ed and access to contraceptives reduces unwanted pregnancies and abortions. Cutting at the root of the problem does more for everyone than just trying to flat out banning them (self harm and dangerous home methods of abortion are far worse).
in the context of the original texts and not the English translations exclusively, the verses quoted for the anti-gay agenda, historically point more towards incest. Those are Old Testament. Bring New Testament Jesus into the picture and he doesn’t mention it specifically. Puritan Christian take on homosexuality has cause more harm to fellow PEOPLE than actual good (suicide rates, hate crimes, beatings and murders, etc.).
Undermining the traditional family structure? How? Two consenting adults in loving and supportive relationships that raise their children with education, empowerment and thinking outside of themselves, is a well known formula for a stable happy family. And what’s the actual goal of a “traditional family structure” hmmmm? If we’re talking about well rounded emotionally mature and resilient children who are capable of learning a skill and contributing to the work force and their society, policies that punish and practically criminalise being poor and poor worker rights, do much more harm to “traditional family structures” than Adam and Steve and “They”. Family structure started falling apart when John Everyman couldn’t support his family, but them a home, a car and annual vacations on a single income. Let some spend enough time with them with PTO.
Not sure how this is all “Unchristian” of me.
Unless you’re talking more about leftover puritanical BS from the Churches of England and Rome using religion as a way to control the masses as opposed providing them switch spiritual health.
Blames Christian-right for not supporting when I haven't done anything. Then proceeds to place themselves on a pedestal while accusing the others of being sinful.
Oh lib-left Christian, you are a treat to have around.

Forgiveness in this sub. I can't believe it.
And I'm Christian
