my woke take is that christians didn’t just recently become so hateful and fundamentally un-christian like…they have always been like this. Like as far back as history goes christianity has been used as a tool of hate.
as a christian who is queer, it’s been forever. people realized they can use beliefs to scare others into submission. they’ve been using God as a scare tactic forever and that’s why there’s so much religious trauma from/in the church. :(

and this might seem obvious to a lot of people but soooo many christians who step away from the church bc of how it is will claim this is a recent development. Like, no, you just ignored it before.

This is exactly it. It’s how they cope with having participated in such a fucked up system
