Yeah, we often see the entire non-terrorist Muslim population being held responsible for not doing enough to condemn terrorism, but Christians are let off the hook for the atrocities of their fundamentalists.

As far as I’m concerned they are all dog shit people. Willingly turning a blind eye to hate from your own is no better than spewing it yourself.

If you want to change their minds, you have to do it with promises & lies.
In the meantime, the pope will continue to shit in the woods.

I can’t control other people

I assure you the ones that arent like that do give a fuck and do what they can with what ability they can when able. A lot of them go non denominational and some are fighting other battles elsewhere.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was murdered by the SS because he didn’t stand idle as his country went full Nazi. He helped with multiple plots to assassinate Hitler, smuggled vulnerable people out of Germany and founded a church that rejected nazification that was later deemed illegal by the Mazis. The guy was a pastor. Do you honestly think he was dogshit for not doing enough?

This also exposes another problem with the original assertion: there’s plenty to do if you’re present, like Bonhoeffer was, but what is there to do if someone lives on the other side of the world? Send a harshly-worded tiktok?

Across the pond there were families that took in those refugees, invited Dietrich to speak to congregations, and stored his letters he sent from prison. In short, we should echo the voices of dissent and give them material support if possible.

Fair, I aspire to be that way. The best I can do right now is to tell people espousing that nonsense over here to cut that shit out

I think the Catholic Church has abused the trust of a great many wonderful people who have also made a relatively understandable mistake, in the sense that everyone is a product of their environment, in supporting its continued existence.

Oh, fuck off with that bullshit. I don’t even have a desire to describe why and how exactly this way of thinking is crap
