Discussion for article #222504
I used to be a Dodger fan, stretching back to before they left Brooklyn. I no longer am, because of their stupid religious proselytizing, I’m sure aimed at helping convert Roman Catholic Latinos to evangelical stupidity. I’m no longer a fan, I refuse to allow their religious posturing to be seen in my house. Go Giants. Fuck you dodgers
I think the real story is why so many have left organized religion.
Leaving church does not mean losing your faith. It can mean
finding a deeper faith. A living faith that is concerned with justice for
the sick, the poor, those that need real help. The church offers charity,
but rarely takes a stand on injustice, something Jesus did over and over.
Charity changes little. Justice requires courage.Perhaps there
is a Jesus movement that is outside of organized religion, because
the church has dropped the ball on what the message of Christ
was all about. I have read that there is a trend of people that have
left churches that meet on Sundays in homes and coffee shops and
conduct there own form of church that concentrates on living the
faith and not just being pew warmers. I think that is a positive
trend both personally and socially.
I read through this a couple of times, and I don’t understand where the “More Polarized” bit from the headline comes from. In what way are they more polarized?
