Lol okay cool. I was confused why you kept taking that position 😅. I was definitely only defending Jesus, not the other people's ideas that muddied up his message.
It was definitely a trip to be taught how cool Jesus was, then see adult christians in the community just go a completely different direction because of random interpretations of one book or another.
Same! I grew up catholic and went to a liberal catholic school and was always taught about loving the poor and downtrodden and being accepting of your neighbors and being explicitly anti-racist. Then I went to college and was surprised to find out the catholic group there was full of evangelical conservatives larping as Catholics :/
Made me do a lot of research and reading on my faith and its history and eventually led me to leaving both the group and the church.
