being raised conservative is so funny to look back on. like it’s not but the arguments they made are and finding the holes in them is great. like my old pastor used to talk ab how gay people got divorced more- i guess encouraging ppl to divorce their partners (unbiblical) or to continue being gay w their partners (unbiblical). like dude if u think about that for more than 10 seconds ur gonna shit urself realizing by your own standards you are encouraging people to “sin” either way and both are considered taboo sins within the church. the bible belt is so fucking stupid everything is like this down here
i frustrates me when people say “christianity doesn’t allow questioning” because almost every church i have attended (both mainline protestant and catholic) have allowed for me to question doctrine. that is not to say that indoctrination doesn’t happen within christian spheres… it does. however, not every church is founded on far-right fundamentalism. and questioning scripture and such is often used as a teaching tool in a christian context.
