I’m a pastor and I struggle a lot with religion.
I struggle a lot with the damage and hurt that has been done in the name of religion and Christianity. I know people have been hurt by other religions, but I can only speak for my faith and how it has been mismanaged and abused.
In the name of God, horrific things have happened in our world, from wars, to political power plays, to sex abuse scandals.
For those of you who have been hurt, shamed, abused and manipulated in the name of God, I am so sorry!
