A local church is urging its members to permanently remove books from the Shelby County Public Library by checking them out and never returning them. The books portray gay characters and historical figures or explore LGBTQ+ themes.
Pamela Wilson Federspiel, who has been director of the library in downtown Shelbyville for 34 years, says the action is tantamount to “stealing.”
But three leaders of the Reformation Church of Shelbyville defend what they call an “act of civil disobedience.”
Nah, these are real Christians. Don’t make their fallacious arguments for them.
I know a (very) few who walk the walk.
This are the only ones I would give the benefit of the doubt to
Right. Exactly. When the majority of the people of a religion behave a certain way, that’s common trait of the religion. “Not walking the walk” is about as Christian as it gets.
American Evangelicals are not the majority of Christians, even though American exceptionalism makes them view themselves as such
Nope definitely fake. Take your anti-theisitic edgelord nonsense back to r/atheism if you wanna paint people with a broad brush
They need to change the name of the “no true Scotsman” fallacy to “no true Christian” as it makes a lot more sense these days…
You do realize that extremists are louder than the majority of the group right?
I was raised in the group, I am intimately aware of what they believe.
Again. I don’t care that you had a wacko creationist church when you were a kid. That’s not what most Christians believe

Your religion condones slavery.
Jesus condoned slavery.
Lol bigotry. Ok.
Jesus DID NOT say that. He said the exact opposite of that.

Sounds like that includes slavery (as long as you don’t beat them to death!).
And all Jesus had to do was say, “hey guys, maybe don’t do that” once. And yet…
