Christianity is about hate nowadays so he fits in just fine
Is it though?
Yes. Have you ever met one? The most vicious hateful things to ever kill a human hollow out their skin and wear them as fucking suit.
It's not the whole of Christianity, but it's an infection that's spread through a lot of it.
I used to volunteer at PFLAG where a pastor who also volunteered there was sponsoring a refugee into the country. At a different point in my life I drank with a man who was very vocal about how supportive his pastor wife was of his bisexuality. Hell my childhood catholic priest told my father to quit being a bigot about me being trans.
I struggle to trust any given Christian, and part of the problem we face is the privileged position Christianity holds in society, but there are Christians resisting the evil. There are progressive protestants opening their doors to all people and catholic workers martyring themselves for leftist causes even today.
In the way not every cell in your body has COVID when you're sick; sure. Categories are messy.
I grew up in a protestant Christian church in northern Europe. Nothing but love and preaching about acceptance and inclusion. Lots of work sending aid to people in need in Africa. Lots of focus on Africa, I remember.
I grew up and kind of out of the religious aspects of the church, but I will always live by the values that were upheld in church, about inclusion and acceptance and everyone's equal value, and right to live and love, etc. Also love for homosexual people and other such minorities in society. People with addiction etc.
This church has not veered from its roots a single bit since then.
Not all religion is bad, but there will always be loud and bad people who twist things out of proportion, unfortunately. I'm Christianity, in Islam, in Judaism, everywhere.
I am one.
You are wrong.
Also, Trump can go to hell.
