      Yeah, I mean Christianity, i.e. being Christ-like is an extremely tough ask, hence forgiveness is a sacrament. It’s really all about keeping up that push and eventually overcoming our bad habits or learning to act more selflessly.

        Interesting. You’d think most were trying to be more selfish than selfless… Almost like they aren’t even trying to be Christ-like. They should excommunicate themselves for being terrible Christians.

          Yeah I don’t know if I’m going to go ahead and judge millions of people on whether or not they are selfish. Throwing the first stone and all that. 😉

            Oh it’s not a judgement. It’s a call to action that they should actually practice what they preach. They seriously SHOULD be excommunicating each other for this stuff, but they don’t.

            They DEMONSTRATE that the institution is corrupt. It requires no judgement from me for that to be wholly true.
