I am not Anti Christ, but I am most definitely anti Christian... at least organized bodies made by men. And, I believe Christ would be, as well.
When I got a Bible degree and most of a Seminary degree at a university founded by the leader of the "moral majority" movement, I abandoned it after more and more experiences seeing the church in action. I knew that I could never be a part of such a hypocritical and hateful foundation they adopted in practice, apart from their holiday services or when they wanted to collect donations. So, i left... with one course remaining in a seminary degree... a course that would require me to go out and call people evil to their face.
Fast forward over a decade later, and nothing I've seen changes my mind. I've noted non Christ like behavior by my ex and churches in which I've served. I've noted how the church spends WAY more time condemning people for their political party, choice of attire who who they love than they do the poor and homeless on the street... now including wanting to arrest poor immigrants fleeing harm and separate them from their children. Now, we see them praising a multiple sexual abuser, financial criminal felon who can't seem to go one post without spewing hatred of .. well.. everyone, even his own party members or former VP and cabinet members and who cheated on his pregnant wife with a porn star... even as they find the audacity to claim moral authority to judge the personal choices of women and children.
You will never get me in another church, until the church is willing to condemn it's own leaders with the same vigor as citizens or better yet openly says they will condemn no one at all. Til then, I'll live happily free from them and willingly condemned as an anti Christian demon.
