(29,322 posts)The hypocrisy from Christian Conservative evangelicals is a big part of why I'm an atheist.

(41,963 posts)You cant wish or rage away something that speaks to people. Just because I doNt believe doesnt mean I dont understand the need of many, many people to understand things through metaphors (yes, literal to them but the concepts are vast) and to feel hope and wonder through the writings of people who talked about important things.
Thats why its so easy to pervert for those who use it for personal power. But its a fact, and using it for good is inclusive in the way we ask for inclusion for so many other beliefs.

(29,322 posts)I don't have a problem with Christians, Muslims, any religion except for the far right sects. I still don't think telling Trump to read a bible is going to help anything. Trump identifies as a Christian and that is exactly why Im not a Christian. Plus it is like Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy to me.

Meet with George Floyd's family, talk to the mayor and civic leaders, talk to protesters. Right now we don't have a president, and so he should simply assume the role.
