My brain is just now upon seeing this post processing why right-wingers always accuse the left of virtue signaling; as always with conservatives, it’s projection. They virtue signal by wearing crosses while definitely not giving a hoot about the teachings of Jesus.
They can’t imagine someone sincerely supporting a cause they care about and assume we all only do it for recognition among our peers, because that’s the way they use causes. To signal to the in-group that we are one of them.
if someone says they are christian, they are. I look at this person and see a perfect example of a religious person.
My Dad had a saying I always really liked.
“You don’t have to be a Christian to be a good person and you don’t have to be a good person to call yourself a Christian.”
not being a christian is a great shortcut to being a better person.
