It is sad and disappointing you refuse to admit it, or failing that, just edit your post out of good faith anyway.

I agree that the weaponization of Christianity is a critical issue. We agree that it should be fought at the institutional and individual level. Your disparaging comment about the church bulletin discount issue is not helpful and many find it insulting. It distracts from the fight against a problem we agree exists.

But if you still refuse, so be it. You choose to be the person you are.
