@MaryAustinBooks As an old, CIS, white male, I’d rather trust the LBTQ+ community than any form of organised religion. I’ve seen too much harm done over the decades in the name of religion, both generally and personally.
@jaycee
I'm a churchgoing Episcopalian and 100% feel safer in an LGBT crowd than a bunch of red hats, no question. Even though I'm "MAGA passing," (white, cis het Christian, from a red state) no woman should feel safe around a movement that worships a rapist who constantly spews out every kind of hate.
@MaryAustinBooks I was christened Roman Catholic, my late father had ‘strong words’ with the local priest, so he brought us up in the Methodist church. I’ve NEVER met a Christian clergy, of any denomination, that I’d trust, I’ve met many over the years. Duplicitous scum in my humble opinion. Others have different experiences. I have no fear of death, I see it as an essential part of life.
@MaryAustinBooks @jaycee It’s not all of them but more than enough to make your skin creep. As a youngster, my skin would crawl when certain ppl shook my hand and frequently enough that I noticed a pattern of this response to several ‘charismatic xtians.’
@tend2wobble @MaryAustinBooks Indeed. I only speak from personal experience.
@jaycee @tend2wobble @MaryAustinBooks
I’d tend to trust Episcopal ordained clergy before other denominations. Was an atheist at a diocese HS.
@MaryAustinBooks @tend2wobble @stevewfolds We have different life experiences. That’s ok.
@tend2wobble @jaycee The one silver lining for me in this giant nightmare is how right I was, even as a child, about everybody I ever met. I grew up in a now MAGAfied rural area of the southern US and later was included in some now-1%er MAGA circles and some things just always felt so wrong and disturbing. Of course I was gaslit that everything is fine and I was the problem for not feelng comfortable, because white people can do no wrong.
God, at least everything makes sense now.
