I got my first Bible when I was 7 in a UCC church.
Dear God...
i feel for you. a few years ago my 80 year old dad asked me to help him “vote” on the Lutheran Church deciding to allow queers as pastors. it broke my freaking heart what they were putting this good decent man through..... to decide if the church he had been a member to his whole life could CHOOSE to do evil... he was so tore up. i helped him vote HELL NO. thank God he passed away before he saw it come to be.
