I recently renounced my faith because I just cannot reconcile with the concerning overlap between Christian movements and fascist ideologies. I’m not wearing the badge of “Christian” if Jesus has been co-opted as a fascist symbol

Modern Christianity is nothing to do with actual Christianity. It’s been changed to hippies 2.0

You can still keep those parts of your spirituality that guide you and support you!!! Jesus was likely a real person and a good one to be inspired by. The church system, right wing dogma, and the way it exploits people has nothing to do with living ones own truth

I know Jesus was a real person and I have faith the stories about his miracles may have been true but I spoke with someone and they just confirmed to me that maybe the church is wrong

Like everything they were talking about was how the church actually supports fascism and like sorry but Jesus didn’t?? I don’t really care what the church says because they also led the crusades

A lot of the church stuff is all just old stories and rules passed down from the last old white guy that was in charge of the system, they don’t have anymore authority or godliness than any of us. Take the stories and morals and use those to guide you rather than rules that random figures through history made up on ‘behalf’ of god

Exactly, the church can be used by anyone who claims authority to blindly lead people wherever they want and make them believe what they want. Now imagine that on a global scale over centuries

You clearly don’t know history one bit if you think is “the church led the crusades”. Learn history or just go join a Neo liberal mega church that doesn’t teach actual Christianity but rather just warps the bible to modern sensibilities. If you think the word of God changes to fit with progressive ideology you are dead wrong and you’re just as blasphemous as someone that says “god is a woman”

Okay but they did. Pope Urban II initiated it in 1095 and the Church hierarchy helped organize, promote, recruit for, and provide religious legitimacy to the campaign. Secular nobles commanded many of the actual armies, but that doesn't somehow negate the Church's institutional role in launching the movement.
