“Likely” is a pretty strong statement when scholars aren’t in agreement (based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romans_1, I did not read a bunch of articles myself). Saying it’s not evil when it advocates for evil things doesn’t track for me, but it seems we’re on the same page about Christianity in general.
You seem to have missed my point. The Bible is the holy book for Christianity, and because it’s clear on things like homophobia and misogyny we can state that Christianity is pro those things. When people say that MAGA Christians are not behaving like real Christians, they are being dishonest and putting a pretty face on an evil thing. Their actions help keep the bronze age bullshit bad people use to justify their behavior around.
I’m very tired of the general societal belief that Christianity is actually good and some people are just doing it wrong. Christianity is bad. Its effects on our society are bad. We would be better off if it (and religion in general) went away.
The Bible is also abundantly clear about being misogynist and homophobic (even in the New Testament). Skipping over those parts gives an evil book/religion a pass. Fuck Christianity.
Don’t rank Cuomo! Giving him any rank could get him elected. That’s how we ended up with Adams.

Same here. They’re actively hurting people I care about and it makes me so angry.
For me forgiveness will have to be on an individual level. It’s a lot harder for me to hate a single person than a faceless mob. I’m planning to figure it out when I’m confronted with the problem. Fingers crossed that starts happening soon.
Much as I want to agree, forgiveness has to be on the table. We want them to change and be better.
What it takes to earn forgiveness is debatable.
Polls were much closer than the result. Within 3-4% of each other if memory serves.
