No you’re not, you’re being harmed by individuals who claim to be Christian. Christianity is an inanimate object, it is a religion, as long as you live in a country or a place which has a separation of religion and state which is most of the western world, you are not harmed by Christianity, you are harmed by individuals who claim to use Christianity or any religion for that matter to further repressive ideology. Alas I am on a online forum and I doubt anyone here really can distinguish that

They’re not currently working their way into our government to try and eradicate us. They’re problematic on their own but christianity is the biggest issue for most of us.

Cool, the mythology is currently being used to harm us by christians. It’s bullshit and yet that’s what’s happening. Maybe don’t pretend to understand something you clearly don’t, yeah?

Literally I’ve gotten hate from Islamic and Jewish people too. Christians are the main ones though :)

Neither Islam nor Judaism are currently being weaponized against us en masse in America, nor have they historically been weaponized against us en masse in America. Christianity, however, is being and has been doing so, hence the very reasonable hostility

Towards Christianity or towards politicians? Mind I remind you Christianity is the same faith whose religion teaches its adherents to “turn the other cheek” and to “treat one as you would like to be treated?

What do you mean towards Christianity or towards politicians? And no, I’m not saying Christianity is evil, I’m saying that in America, of the three Abrahamic religions, it has been weaponized against queer people the most. Any religion has the power to do immense good, including Christianity. Unfortunately, it can also be weaponized to do immense harm, including Christianity

Oh, I just realized you were asking if the hostility is aimed towards Christianity or politicians. It’s generally aimed at both. You have to understand that if someone was hurt by people who hurt them because of the same religion, they’re usually going to be bitter towards that religion

Yes I understand this, I also think it is a bit pathological and not entirely rational to assign blame to a religion, especially if one doesn’t have a good understanding of it. Just because Christianity is the status quo of the west and of the United States doesn’t give it reason to be assigned blame for the actions of individuals who bastardize it to further individualistic ideology and goals. It’s an unpopular opinion I am aware but we live in a society that has deemed the figures;

And institutions that seem to be the ones in power are susceptible to any and all criticism even if not entirely accurate or appropriate. If Christianity wasn’t the cultural status quo none of you would be having these conversations. This is as if someone let’s say of Korean descent was homophobic or transphobic or hostile towards you, I doubt ANYONE here and I mean ANYONE would blame their Korean-ness on their homophobia, you’d just call them a bigot. Christianity is not harming you, PEOPLE are

Dude. Yes there are people who use Christianity as a front to justify their bigotry, but there are also plenty of people who genuinely believe their bigotry is right and just. They genuinely think they’re doing right by the lord. No matter how willfully ignorant you are, you cannot disentangle Christianity from a huge amount of the bigotry in America, particularly the bigotry towards queer people. Yes, people are the ones doing harm, but they’re doing harm BECAUSE of their beliefs in-
