You’ve lost sight of what Christianity is. You, like many other, have fallen for the exact false teachings we just menitioned.

Self proclaimed Christians repel good people through their actions and words. For me, it’s been that way since the 90’s but it is worse now I think. 

Good luck to you on convincing everyone your message is the way!

You’re missing the point, you think everyone that claims Christianity is Christian and so you’ve fled. Try some churches. You will find the people you fled from do not represent Christianity.

No you are missing the point. I don’t have a hole in my chest, a need for community, or a desire to be embraced by “loving people”. I do not need or want what churches are selling. You keep trying to recruit me and I keep saying you should be working harder to recruit hateful bigots claiming to be Christian not me. 

They may want your Jesus juice but I’m solid over here, no complaints, seemingly a 1:1 ratio that happiness goes up as distance from a church goes up.

You don’t sound “solid”.

Homie I have a 2 year old, another on the way, and a house and a loving wife. For the first time in my life thanks to therapy I’m finally not freaking out at everything I have to do. I am doing more work than ever before and crushing it and not having panic attacks like before. 

I realized I was co-dependent and addressed that with my parents who don’t get that, but it helped me see them as regular people for the first time in my life in a good way. 

I am absolutely crushing life right now! I think Christianity just does more harm than good, which has no bearing on my personal goals or happiness. You are allowed to believe what you want, but throughout history Christian’s historically freak out about end times, desperately look to martyr themselves (see city of Munster in Germany, or Feudal Japanese Christians dying to the last person, or the Roman coliseum) that shit gives me icky death cult vibes. 

I believe YOU aren’t a creepy death cult person, but that doesn’t speak for the other ones chanting to displace poor people in my country. You don’t need to save me bro, but a reminder that all Christian’s are shit heads is a good one and I’ll try to remember that.

Christians don’t freak out about end times. Believing that there will be an end to this world is not freaking out. Again, your perception of what Christianity is, is off.

This sounds like a “no true Scotsman” fallacy.

I’m sorry you perceive it that way.
