Not getting this is part of how you get people insisting that right-wingers aren’t “real Christians”, which lets them off the hook and erases the real harm that form of Christianity has done
I don’t like those people, as a Christian I have very little in common with them, but they’re Christians too
Ask me to lay out the basic tenets of my own weird personal Christian remix and you’ll get stuff (like I can honor and invoke other gods while being a follower of Christ) that ought to make one declare that I’m not a “real Christian” either!
Yeah, I don’t think my parents raised me Lutheran enough because once I saw Catholicism culturally in practice when I went to Portugal at age 9, I was probably a lost cause
Their mistake for raising me on stuff like Narnia and Tolkien and then showing me a form of Christianity with an elaborate magic system
(They know all of this and are extremely amused)
