@SK1ZM@nicecrew.digital I used to date a girl like 7 or 8 years ago that I met while working at Chick Fil A. She was a Baptist that went to church every Sunday and I had never gone to church as an adult after an experience at one when I was around 15 years old. I really enjoyed going to church and it changed how I think about things and my outlook on life. The pastor seemed to always bring up things that directly related to me and the hardships that I had been going through and it felt really personal. The one thing that completely turned me off one day is when the Pastor had brought up Israel and that we should pray for them after something happened over there. It made me angry knowing that the very people responsible for killing Christ and doing ungodly things every day to innocent people were the ones that a man of God had told me to pray for. The same people that spit eveey day on the path Christ took carrying the cross while being beaten down. The same people that want your kids raped, your women raped, your people enslaved and killed. What man of Christ could consciously tell followers to pray for these people? You should pray on behalf of them and their sins, not for them and their sins.

@SK1ZM@nicecrew.digital also the bad experience I had when I was younger was when I stayed over at a friend and neighbor's house over the weekend and they had church that Sunday and I agreed to go with them. They were black and went to a black church. The church was a small place in town, maybe 20 people were there. I was the only white kid there that day and this was during the media sensationalization of school shootings. The pastor singles me out in a small crowd and tells me that God had spoken to him about me. He told me not to bring "that weapon" to school and not carry out "the act." I was just a normal kid. They singled me out because I was white. He stood there with his hand on my shoulder and prayed for me that I won't do it. I never planned, wanted to, expressed, or even thought out hurting anyone at school, even the other kids who would pick on me there.
