I am sure we can find a whole bunch of people who did very evil things but still have folks that believe in them that we can create statues of and to hell with anyone that is hurt by the reminders right?
Or is it only things that need changed are things that affect your wallet or your beliefs and only those that agree with you deserve to have a say in what is on the properties that everyone pays / has the names only acceptable to you ?
Communism is ok as long as you agree with the rules, socialism is evil if it benefits anyone but you correct? Curious, did you cash that government check or get any help from the government ( loans, your favorite places, banks, employers get free help etc) during this coronavirus? So, socialism is ok when YOU need it but not ok for others who need it to survive ?
BTW.....Do you call yourself Christian ?
Do you really believe you are Christ-like ? Does any Christian really believe Jesus would choose the options that so many that believe themselves to be Christian, are proud of ? We must read different bibles and know different Jesus’s . My Jesus was all in for equality for all ( Mary was a prostitute no?) and sharing all he had( feed the crowd fish and bread) without expectation of a return ? Did he not die so all of Gods children could be free ?
Sorry for the rant, just so tired of the unjustifiable beliefs people keep spouting , only said to bring separation and hate and using Jesus as a back up.

I really didn't like to read this. I try very hard not to hurt anyone because of their beliefs or lack of them. For many of us our faith is a valid living thing and for many of us it is a gentle tradition with good memories of family times. (By the way, there are two Marys, one was the mother of Christ and one was a prostitute, and most of us feel defensive of them both) One of the things I do like about Christianity is the thought that we
should try to be kind to each other. It doesn't feel like the poster is "sorry for the rant".
It really wounded me to read this. In my whole life no one has ever said anything like this in my hearing. I am not a church goer but I respect religion and know that it is precious to many.
