The very founders of the Catholic church corrupted that goal.
The people who truly do care about others are amazing, but that is not the majority of Christians, especially when it comes to how they feel about queer people. That is what I mean when I say Christianity.
I apologize for not making that clearer I was on a time crunch /gen
If that is what Christianity actually brought to the world, then we wouldn’t be in this position. They pay lip service to it. Nothing more. Fuck them all.
if that’s the core concept, how do you explain how Christianity has functioned in practice throughout most of human history? mass indigenous graves, inquisitions, the treatment of religious minorities, the many justifications of slavery, the christian nationalist far-right, the open rejection of queer identities, conversion therapy camps, treating women as property, raping children? nothing about the christian ethos in practice leads to good outcomes for people who aren’t Christian, and not for the people who are, either.
“perversion” isn’t a thing. things are what they are observed to be, and for many queer people, christian institutions have been observed to be openly hostile to their existence. contend with the fact that there are many people who have never seen the Christianity you seem to think exists.
My friend, the core concept of Christianity is to do charitable actions in the name of Christ, how is that hateful?
Have some horrible people perverted that core concept to justify horrible things? Yes, but I can say the same about literally any ideology.
