    Participating in any Christianity props up and validates the bad ones.

    That said, if you really are the “good ones” then I wish you luck in fixing the rest of Jesus’ stray flock. And I hope you personally get the chance to fix some of them.

      You don’t “fix” other people. You fix yourself. That’s all you have any control over.

        You don’t control other people, but you constantly influence them.

        Isn’t the whole point of a pastor to encourage other people to be their best selves? Isn’t that fixing them?

      This right here. There are no good participants in religion. Everyone participating, no matter their intent or actions, is s part of the problem. Because they enable the bad behavior by supporting the underlying common beliefs and adding some degree of legitimacy to this.

      It’s the same problem with ACAB
