Religion

(5,125 posts)I simply am presenting a balanced view of the church as I understand it to be a complex subject and not simply one thing or another. Religion is an even more diverse subject.
The ONLY reason your post bothered me SO much is that you paint with a broad stroke and smear the crap from Qanon all over everyone and everything associated with religion. It seems angry and simplistic and not really thought out.
I get it. I have vented her myself. Sometimes the crazy out there just gets to a sane an rational person.
Don't know exactly what to do in support of a better working relationship here, but am pushing back because I AM both a STRONG DEM and a committed Christian. I DON'T SEE any conflict with that because I live my faith to see that MY behavior is respectable. I don't use it to judge others.
I will call people out for specific behaviors, but that is an opportunity to make adjustments, not me telling someone else they are bad or wrong. I don't like being judged either.
I will speak my truth and acknowledge the truth of others. What I like a lot about DU is that MOST people deal in FACTS instead of smear, snark and innuendo.
