I believe these are my top struggles with evangelical Christianity:

  • The constant debate between Arminianism and Calvinism.
  • The absolute obsession with the nonstop condemnation of LGBTQ individuals.
  • The endless focus on the pro-life/pro-choice subject and the significant control over women’s bodies.
  • The relentless emphasis on hierarchy, patriarchy, and complementarianism, which in simple terms always places men over women.

-belief in inerrancy of the Bible.

In other words, a significant portion of the entire belief system involves controlling others, especially women.

  • Nationalism is the norm within a large majority of evangelical Christianity.
  • Lastly, denominational supremacy.

The more I process all of this, the more questions I have and the fewer answers I find. I’m realizing that I cannot agree with any of these anymore.
