    And even if they did, modern Christians just handwave away as meaningless anything in the Old Testament they can’t justify because it’s been “fulfilled by Jesus”.

        Christian here.

        Yikes.

        I know people like those you describe. They are pieces of shit who wear the Christian label and don’t actually follow any of the teachings.

        Please don’t lump us all in with them.

                  I was talking about Sunday church service. Seriously, talk to your fellow parishioners and especially church leadership, make sure you’re supporting the things you think you are.

                    I do. I have regular chats with our pastor and talk to a large number of people in our church every week.

                    I only associate with people with whom I share values and have yet to meet one person at my church who I don’t get along with.

                    Having said that, I am in Australia. Things are different down here than in America.
