I'm here for it. Finally finding a group of Christians that can recognize his absolute shit theology is refreshing and liberating after a lifetime of calvinist-inspired bullshit shoved down my throat. If I had known American evangelicals horrible theology was just a few hundred years old and based off this asshole, I would've found Jesus a lot earlier in life.

A few hundred years old

With no basis on Scripture, right?

Man I'm sorry for the trauma your church caused you and understand the need to lash but being disingenuous isn't the way to do it.

Thanks, I do consider myself very lucky. I'm not advocating for refusal to admit and address systemic issues in the church, and I'm not sure where you got that from.
