Thanks for your candor BBH.
I will concur that my early days in the Baptist church were not great.
'Repent or burn in hell' was a common theme. Scare people into becoming a Christian. Guilt them. Bad stuff and I would never attend a church like that now.
I sense a lot of change in today's Christianity. Not everyone of course, but many have opened their eyes and changed longstanding beliefs.
It's refreshing. I love being a part of my church.
Great people. A ton of community outreach and being inclusive of ANYONE that would like to attend.
I'm sorry your experiences have been so poor throughout your lifetime.
I sincerely hope you encounter people who can help change your mind about what a 'Christian' really is.
