It's the same "but look at what she was wearing" bullshit that has been around since time immemorial.
If someone assaults you it is because they made a bad decision and not because of you, full stop.
Oh agree 100%, I was mostly pointing out the general hypocrisy of Christians to consistently never do what their lord and savior has been telling them to do…while simultaneously doing terrible things and using “As a CHREEESTIAN” as justification.
Sorry that was more of a comment and wasn't trying to disagree or call you out.
I agree a lot of the Christians and evangelicals are hypocritics. I struggle because so many of them are good people, vote for people that are not insane and what not. My mama was one of them, she was a Democrat, not exactly leftist (she was a parole officer so she really struggled with police reform) and was a theist until the day she died. And then on the other hand my ex wife had some friends that went to Joel osteena megachurch and voted Republican down the line for both Trump elections and every other one that they have voted.
Humans suck.
I get that. My mom is a “religious” Trump voter who says some very terrible things, and yes, there are some good ones. It’s just that generally the good ones don’t have the loudest voices, unfortunately, and fear + rage = $$$
