I think that Biblical faith is a social construct that’s more about anarchic social climbing than actual faith. “Christians”, especially the ones who attend non-poc churches, are just parading their families around with the same energy (and for the same purpose) as Instagram.

Yeah, there’s an enormous amount of self-induced gaslighting going on and maybe that qualifies as “belief”, but it’s a twisted and machiavellian bastard sibling of faith. Anyone who makes a religion out of having someone else pay for their wrongdoing just wants to get away with never maturing, and they have no real desire to grow as a person.
