minus-squarex_cell@slrpnk.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoThis doesn’t mean shit. I was raised catholic. It’s basically church doctrine that anyone is a child of God, and pretty much almost anyone can be baptized. It doesn’t mean you’re not a sinner who’s going to burn forever in hell. It’s just the famous anti-lgbt talking point “hate the sin, not the sinner”. This will lead LGBT people to a false sense of security before they go straight up to conversion therapy.
