- @slindsley Hi, Steve. I am an ex-Evangelical and now an atheist. I appreciate your concern and support for those who are posting in #EmptyThePews
- @slindsley We know that the toxic teachings of Evangelical Christianity are not representative of all. I gen. see progressive Christians as on my side.
- @slindsley The thing about leaving a toxic church is that it takes a lot of time to heal and deconstruct afterward.
- @slindsley This is something I am still working on, years later. And many had it much worse than me.
- @slindsley What the #EmptyThePews people need is support to take the path they need to take for healing.
- @slindsley For some, this will be joining a more progressive church. But for some, this may mean leaving the church altogether.
- @slindsley In either case, they know best what they need in order to heal. Their decisions should be respected.
- @slindsley But we can still work together to make the world a better place. And I hope we do.
