Christianity should sound like, "my beliefs continue to deepen my love for others," not "the depth of my love for others is contingent on how deeply they conform to my beliefs."
If your Christianity causes you to demand strict adherence to โBiblical lawsโ from immigrants and our fellow citizens, but not from billionaires or your preferred presidential candidate, that is when you know you are actually following wealth and power rather than Jesus.
If you see that God is in the business of protecting your preferred presidential candidate from death, but not the other person at the rally, or school children, or immigrants, or Palestinians, then it may be that youโre confusing your own political bias for God.
What I have found most distressing, over the past 3 1/2 years (aside from the illness itself and medical gaslighting), is the fact that almost everyone, including people close to me, chose to dismiss me rather than pay close attention to what I had to say.
