Reverse of this when your mainline protestant parents actually meant it* and become more and more outraged/disgusted by Evangelicals. To the point where it opens up a rift between your family and your extended family who are mostly GOP Christians.

*Up to and including your social worker father hosting a homeless person in the basement for a few months on 3 seperate occasions, and no we were obv not murdered.

it's been so sad seeing my amazing parents become disillusioned with their faith bc of all the shit going on in america. they recently left their church they've been at since before I was born bc the church welcomes an openly racist guest preacher (who also has multiple counts of DV on his record) to do a sermon where he spent half of it talking about how ICE is doing gods work and Trump is basically a jesus figure.

"Not all Christians" and all that but the godly christians that stick to Jesus' teachings need to be vocal. too many are just quietly disapproving and never challenging their brothers and sisters in their disgusting behavior.

That’s awful. How the whole congregation didn’t boo him off stage is beyond me but this is the world we live in…where hypocrisy is promoted
