Again, because this keeps coming up: it ISN’T CHRISTIANITY. If you want to bust evangelical and charismatic/Pentecostals, please go right ahead. But Orthodox Christian sects are not going into court trying to stop gay people from getting wedding cakes. Please stop conflating Christianity with bible thumping yahoos.
I think one reason this is happening is that there is little/no reporting of Orthodox Christian sects speaking out about how bible thumping yahoos are making them look bad. And I don’t recall seeing any of them say that the yahoos are not Christians.
And this is an insidious poisoning of Christianity as a whole. If the public face of Christianity in the media is the constant stream of what the yahoos are saying (screaming) about then it is slowly going to make everyone associate Christianity itself as these people and not the Orthodox groups.
