Oh, your baseless and toxic beliefs are definitely up for discussion. If you don't like it, you can run away.

No matter how clearly you think it's written, someone else can find a conflicting way of interpreting it. There's no human arbiter to settle the matter of whether you're wrong, they're wrong, or both. This absence of a check leaves religious faith an unaccountable mess. "True Christian" = nonsense.

Yes, belief without reason and evidence is nonsense. Arrogant, irresponsible nonsense.

No. You don't get to define Christian. The most horrible people have as much right to call themselves Christian as anyone else.

There's a problem with barring candidates based on criminal history. The powers that be can get a bogus conviction on any powerful rival.

My guess is that some people are gaming their outrage. They care about many things, but they amplify whatever is most promising for toppling the regime. For others it's cold engagement farming. And then there are the simple emo folks uncritically reacting to whatever excites them.

They don't believe they're doing it or they don't believe anything other than tribal loyalty matters. Some dumb thing in any case.
