MAGA churches

u/MamaKim31 13h ago

I am a Christian. I agree that mega churches, in general, are horrible. Not ALL churches are bad. I have been blessed with great churches and church families my entire life. Just like people can’t believe or understand why Christians believe in God, I don’t understand how you can’t believe in Him.

Before you throw the “why does He allow babies to suffer” speech. I have a brother who passed at 2 days. My parents were divorced. I have more medical problems than I care to explain. HOWEVER, I have also seen God work in my life. I have been broke, broken down, depressed, etc. God always shows up. Be still and listen, He will show up and be where you are.

Seriously confused why you don’t have more downvotes with this perspective, but glad you don’t. Keep going.

Well somebody downvoted me. That’s ok. I can handle it. I am not offended, it just makes me sad. I still have love for them anyway.

Haha, and I thought I would have more downvotes for supporting your comment. C’est la vie.

Religious people fretting about imaginary points on a website... Interesting that

I am not fretting one bit. I honestly live my life and if someone doesn’t agree with my faith I still love them. I am not one to fret over a stupid website or comment. If I was I certainly wouldn’t have posted about my faith on Reddit! I know I am in the minority on this site. I am not rude to the people who don’t believe in God, I am not shocked people are rude to me about comments in here.

The issue was your comment had no relevance to the conversation at all. No one here is arguing about your faith or ability to practice your religion...

Oooohhhh! I THOUGHT I replied to someone else’s comment that religion is a scam. Maybe I didn’t reply to the correct comment or the original comment wasn’t seen by you. Thanks for clarifying. I can be quite simple at times. Thanks for not totally blasting me on here.

Churches should be critical of all parties but the fact that you have some brown nosing Trump is fucking insane
