#you are not immune to cultural christianity and exvangelicals ESPECIALLY need to work harder to deconstruct those views. they're killing us

Living under mandatory OCD-style black-and-white morality their whole lives fucked these ppl's critical thinking skills to an incredible degree. Some people switched from worshipping and dying for a Perfect God to worshipping and dying for Perfect Policy

I feel like there's a certain type of "ex-evangelical" progressive who obviously supports mandatory progressive causes like abortion access and LGBT rights, but then in practice supports them "so strongly" that they can't compromise on anything. And if that means that they can't vote for candidates who support those issues because they aren't "good enough" and those issues get set back, well... That's a trade-off they're willing to make!
