    Deep down, I'd consider myself a docile and passive person who doesn't wish to trouble others, but this is seen as a weaknesses at best by many; and some go as far to consider it sinful. I've tried being more assertive and standing up for myself the past couple of years, with generally positive results, but I just don't think it's me and that I'm lying to myself by doing it.

    Is it a sign that I'm the problem or is it the sign that we live in a combative, belligerent and highly flawed society? I hate outsourcing the blame from myself, so it's far more likely this is my problem than everybody else's, but does that mean that being dishonest with my identity is the right thing to do?

    I don't normally talk about religion or politics, but I wanted to say this. I believe Christians themselves are single biggest reason so many other Christians (especially younger ones) are leaving churches.

    Simply put, many Christians use religion as an excuse for their bigotry, racism, and homophobia. They are completely oblivious to the main principle Jesus stood for - showing love and compassion towards all people, regardless of race, sexuality, gender, religion, political beliefs, or any other factor.

    I've attended just one church (for an extended period of time) in southern Mississippi, so I can't speak for everyone. However considering who our president is and the support Christians have continued to show him, this is almost definitely happening all over the country. It's truly a shame.

    I'm not saying this is 100% fact. I don't have any evidence other than my own experiences. I'm also not saying all Christians are like this; many of them are certainly not. Regardless, I believe enough of them are to turn so many people away from religion. Christians should practice what they preach (yes that's a cliche, but it's true). Love others. Forgive others. Give to the poor. Help those in need. Stop with the whole "us against the world" mentality, and try to unite with others, rather than drifting further and further apart.

    I've attended a Pentecostal church in a small Kentucky town for 30 years. There have been multiple instances of rants against Muslims, gay people and pretty much anyone not straight, white, male and a specific type of Christian. One such person has twice gone onto Facebook and ranted against one of my wife's best friends, who happens to be Muslim, because she wants to come here and kill all of us.

    You're quite right about a lot of this and it's very true. The hatred of gay people is astounding as well. According to some of the people at my church, gay marriage and gay marriage alone has ruined the sanctity of marriage. Between my dad, my mom and my grandmother, there have been 13 marriages and divorces. You can get married in Las Vegas for $40 by an Elvis impersonator without getting out of your car. But two men want to get married and marriage is ruined. Right.

    Pretty fucking annoying. The Riott Squad travels together and Liv is vegan and Sarah knows this but makes it a point to Instagram every piece of meat she eats with the hashtag notvegan.
