What is your opinion on religious groups/churches getting their asses involved in politics?
(e.g. supporting a presidential candidate)
I literally can't stand my classmate bruh, "whatever our church's opinion is also our opinion" they be making it their whole personality sometimes like euuggghhhh imagine supporting a politician that 1: don't even care about you, 2: has killed multiple innocent civilians during his term, 3: is close friends with a self proclaimed son of God that turned out to be a pred that raped the CHILDREN and women in his church, 4: is now in the Hague, lol (if you know who/what I'm talking about, then that's def what it is) some religions even call themselves the "True Christian" or wtv.
One time I hopped on public transport w a male classmate in highschool and coincidentally, we were talking about the history of religion and Christianity when the guy sitting next to him literally said "why don't you try going to the xx church, you should def try it" and in my mind I'm like: "EXCUSE ME?? Are you a part of this conversation???" Like we had just actually talked about how bad their whole organization is wayyy before we got on that bus. Thank god we were already on a different topic when we got on, lol. And the way he said it and looked at us was very idk... condescending... and he even ended it with a suspicious smile like... ??
Everything else that they talk about their church just sounds so restrictive of anything that's unrelated to them specifically. Like, if you love singing, then why the fuck are you not allowed to join the Glee club at uni just because of the probability that they're connected to a different religion? I literally joined like 2 or 3 Christian clubs (one of them turned out to be a narcissistic cult when I actually paid their church a visit but that's a different story for another day) and I still am pretty Catholic, lol.
Like dawg I used to think we already separated these two things since the 19th century or something
Terrible, because in my country divorce is illegal because religion shi. I mean look at how abortion is treated, one of the huge reasons why you don't involve religious beliefs on politics because you are hindering EVERYONE else who don't have those beliefs. I don't even need to explain the state of Afghanistan women of why religion and politics to...... reply
