You and people who hold beliefs like yours should just pick a new name for yourselves, I've tried to convince family members of this for years. Let the jerks have the name they tainted, pick a better name for your beliefs, and get out of the way for people to condemn the institution of Christianity for it's actions.

You shouldn't feel responsible for them. You should just let them suffer the consequences of their actions and get outta the way.

Most of us would, for sure, if it wasn't for the fact that we're called Christians because we follow Christ. However, from my very personal perspective, the name is irrelevant. So much so that our own bible does not mention "christians" anywhere. Having said that, I am a die hard follower of Jesus, people can call me Jesuit, Jesus freak (yes, been called that plenty of times, I find it funny), or whatever. But first and foremost, I'm a human, full of flaws, an expert at finding out what doesn't work (I guess Normie's call those "making mistakes" ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ), with lost of situations in my life, and a firm believer that, should everyone decide to respect others, love them with their flaws, and be willing to help EVERYONE else as long as it's not detrimental to themselves, their environment or others (in thayvsame order), we would have so much peace in this world that it'll probably get boring haha. Anyway, switching gears real quick: Does anyone here have experience with Arch based Linux distros? Preferably EndeavourOS? I live what I'm seeing, but I can't find a reason why none of my flatpak installations are showing in my apps. I really want to try Arch to find out why die hard Arch users are so proud of that, but so far it seems like a distros made exclusively for people that like to be in pain. What gives? If you can pint me in the right direction to a community where I can vent and maybe find solutions, I would really appreciate it. Oh, and God forgive me, but FUCK MICROSOFT!

I'm not a Christian but sometimes I hear Christians talking the way you just have and it's the most compelling thing about it and draws me towards it. Love and forgiveness all the way. I use Debian so I can't help with your arch question. I do think that Jesus would use Linux though.

And would totally doom Microsoft and Apple, for sure.
