I'm a Christian. One belief that I hold to is that all of creation is broken and needs to be fixed - and can only be fixed by the Creator God. Until that happens, we will continue to see people do bad things
- jfengel 3y agoUnfortunately, many of those Christians are among the reasons the world is so generally rotten. In some cases, it's directly connected: they feel that God is going to fix it for them, momentarily, and nothing they do matters. I do not blame Christians in general. People of both faith and lack-of-faith do rotten things, and fail to do beneficial things. But I would very much like to see Christians do a better job at holding each other to account. There are too many situations where Christians use their Christianity to make the world a worse place, and I will not stand for "God'll fix it!" as an excuse. Neither should other Christians.
