Ironically we have created a religion that could be much different, more loving and more merciful if we actually allow a new mindset to reign rather than trying to force our ego-driven interpretation of Christ into our predetermined boxes or paradigms. Discussion on how this leads to a Savior Complex that is toxic and how being an ally is much more of a Quakerly concept, especially when considering the birth of a savior to a homeless couple in a barn. It can also lead to self-destructive churches that are called to be encouraging and inspiring as well as places to knock down rather than implement oppressive structures.
