      I’m not Christian

      My brother in Christ, do you have any remote idea how many of us got baptized, went through communion, and were confirmed on this forum?

      Most people asking these questions were raised by one or more christians. The failure of religious organizations to answer to their own ideals is the primary reason people leave a religion.

      Example: Christians worshipping somebody as immoral and hateful as trump is driving people away from the religion.

        Your example doesn’t make sense because Christians worship Christ.

          Of course, that’s clearly what the word means, but there are a lot of Americans who call themselves Christians, including a large number of preachers who follow Trump and worship money. They are putting young Americans off Christianity.

          They worship christ too. Just because you don’t like their behavior, it doesn’t mean it isn’t a fallacy to invoke an appeal to purity.
