I don't go to church & haven't for years. One of the reasons is this. The last time I went, I realized people there would not accept a gay person walking in the door (and also other types of people who don't fit in their fake-faced lifestyle).

Absolutely, and with an estimated 45,000 denominations around the globe, with different interpretations of the same book, "astray" can mean whatever they want it to mean.

Hey now, the cited reason for my break with the church (excommunication) was because I didn’t go to church while I was deployed. (I’m sure coming out as trans slightly before I got that letter had nothing to do with it 🙃)

And they wonder why pews are empty 💀💀💀💀💀
