I Didn't Realize Just How Flexible Christianity Truly Is Until Today

[Bettie]

15. I'm an agnostic bordering on athiesm

I just can't say for certain that there is no guiding force in the universe, so I can't say that it is impossible.

But, being from the Midwest, as you surely know EVERYONE in my extended family is religious, so I hear about it a lot and they adore Trump, think he's "Christlike" but "flawed". Do I understand this? Nope.

Then again, my kid was the one who said "Who's Jesus" at a family gathering at age 3. My beloved husband threw me right under the bus as his mother glared at him! We laughed later.

But, beyond my rambling, they are all Wisconsin Synod Lutherans who believe firmly that people who are doing well financially are the ones god likes best....people who are poor are obviously not doing religion correctly. Explicitly said by several of them over the last ten or so years.
