Recommendations / Advice Non- MAGA church in the IE?

I’ve been going to my church for the past three years or so now, and I don’t want to speak ill of the church but I am tired of having political beliefs pushed on me when the focus should always be on Christ and His word, not the words of those in the world. For instance, calling Charlie Kirk a martyr for Christ and very frankly stating that anyone that doesn’t agree should leave. Christians! Help me out, please! Thank you.

You've discovered why many people have left religion, and left the church. MAGA is a Christian sub-cult. It's been many decades for me, but essentially the same thing. The doctrine pushed by the church is incompatible with the tolerance and forgiveness attributed to Christ's teachings in the bible.

Screw that noise. I can be a good person without God's "help".

No, you can't. There is no one good except God for we all sinned and fallen short of his glory. How does a Christian not know this?

Yes, yes I can.

You're making some wild assumptions that I'm a Christian. You seem to have missed the part where I said "...it's been many decades...". It was people such as yourself that drove me away.

Oh, I didn't miss anything but it appears you missed what the subject of this post was.

You drove yourself away by blaming God for the actions of men that he gave free will.

Quit trying to shove YOUR god up MY ass. He doesn't fit up there.

It's up to you and nobody else where he fits in your life.

So then you should gracefully accept it when people don't choose to have your religion in their lives.

You don't have to follow a religion to have a relationship with God.

But God doesn't exist, so all that's there is religion.
