"What's worse than the world seeing Christians disagree with one another is the world seeing Christians remain silent when their own go on TV and tell the parents of children lost in a tornado that those children and their families got what they deserved. What's worse than the world seeing Christians disagree with one another is the world seeing Christians remain silent and supportive when their own are accused of multiple counts of child abuse and appeal to the first amendment to try and avoid investigation. What's worse than the world seeing Christians disagree with one another is the world seeing Christians perpetuate an abusive theology that teaches people that whatever abuse they are suffering, whatever pain they are enduring, whatever violence they have been subjected to, is deserved and perpetrated by god." -- Rachel Held Evans, 2013-05-21 [thanks to the friend who linked to this in a locked entry]

And another thing that is bad is having those Christians jump into conversations and yell at the people who are talking about Christian abuse, telling them they have to stop talking about it because not all Christians are like that.

Amen, indeed. Whichever Xtians were involved in whatever, we already know that all Xtians are not like that, but some are, so... :-S
