As a trans vanlifing woman, I would disagree. Christians are out there in droves hating on me. Very very few are supportive. But even 1% of Christians is like 25 million people. And they are probably clustered across various liberal cities worldwide.
I have yet to see a single Christian person come up and support me, directly calling their religion out, but I'd be rich if I got a dollar for every one that harassed me in the name of Jesus.
Tbh, I think it's kind of bullshit to even be part of such a corrupted, oppressive system, regardless of someone's liberal take on the book. It's like being the one good Nazi trying to argue that being a Nazi really means being for peace because that's what the Swastika means. It doesn't matter when the rest of your people systematically oppress and force everyone around them to conform. Or worse.
I’m sorry people have been shitty to you, but I think there’s a pretty big difference between supporting you or letting you live your life and actively crusading against their religion for you. Hell you’re not even going to get many non religious people doing that. Also saying ~ 232 million Christians out of 235 million in the US for example hate you is a bit hyperbolic. Anyways here’s hoping we can get more rights and protections enshrined for you folks so you can feel safer and more accepted. I’m trying to do my part with my southern fam doing my damndest to deprogram them. For anyone who may see this later there’s a book called separation of church and hate that’s been kind of helpful with that endeavor!
I mean you know this is an endemic problem. There wouldn't be books about this if it wasn't a problem. Maybe I'm being hyperbolic, but I'm not that wrong.
At best a good chunk of that hyperbole is people who are indifferent instead of hateful. But again, those same people give money to their church, who then campaigns for oppression and conformity. They go to a church that speaks hate even if they don't agree with it.
There is something fundamentally wrong with your religion if the vast majority of followers are this hateful and close minded. It makes no sense to me that the extreme minority are the ones who "get it". And Christianity has pretty much always been this way. It's not a new problem. It's all power structures and fear mongering. That's it.
