Do you not know why
#emptythepews exists? It's to urge people, to give them permission to leave churches which are toxic. It's not a call to 'destroy all churches', it's a call to stop giving your time and money to far right, homophobic, patriarchal, colonizing churches. -
3. More substantively, as is all too typical for
@TheAtlantic, I find this piece annoyingly sympathetic to evangelicals' and other conservative Christians' sense of being "beleaguered." THEY. ARE. NOT. PERSECUTED. They are pathological authoritarians#Exvangelical#EmptyThePewsShow this thread -
I will never know if I was a conversion project for 4.5 years if he had doubts or both.

1. A few thoughts about this thorough and interesting profile of Mike Pence (thanks to
@stephenbottomly for pointing me to it). There's good background here on Pence's religious ideology, ambition, and political career. https://www.theatlantic.com/amp/article/546569/ …#Exvangelical#EmptyThePewsShow this thread -
True Reagan-era Conservative Republicans called for fewer restrictions on business & small central government. Funny, they never address areas where they break the law--taxes, campaign finance, banks, Wall Street. Cheney = FEAR monger. And Evangelicals = hypocrits.

After 50 yrs as a Christian I educated myself, compared the bible with history/archeology/science and now I'm an atheist. Learning the Exodus story never happened was the beginning of the end of my faith.

Alright so I wish that
@donlemon would have at least mentioned that@MarkHarrisNC9 is an evangelical pastor. That’s a huge factor in his candidacy. It’s time to#EmptyThePews people.#Exvangelical -
If God can't withstand human anger, then God is not qualified for the position & should be fired.

I think the satanic temple uses the superstitions of the religious to fight for the separation of church and state. They don't believe in the nonsense, but I imagine they enjoy laughing about making those who do squirm.
Their tenants are spot on, too.

I'm considering starting a blog (or similar) relating my experiences growing up in the Evangelical Church, mys exodus from it and my views on the current Evangelical movement as it affects US Politics. Thoughts?

The problem with the church is that it has intrinsically tied itself to faith. The two actually ARE mutually exclusive. It has always been the institution of the church that has been the weak link.
