Fuck Evangelicalism. Fucking hate the way it destroyed my childhood and continues to poison my family.

I'm sick and tired of the way they continue to ignore my transition even two years in. I don't know if I can continue to be in contact with them anymore and it breaks my heart. I don't know if I can deal with another goddamn holiday season of Christian bullshit.

Fucking hate that my dad is a pastor. Took so much shit away from me because of a mass delusion.

Your dad shouldn't be a pastor spreading such controlling hatred. My grandpa went to his pastor when I came out, and thankfully his pastor actually follows their own damn religion and taught love and acceptance. What ever happened to "love thy neighbor", anything about loving " sinners" for otherwise you are one yourself, or just... Supporting people? You're not doing them or anyone any harm. I really hope your dad can be excommunicated for this... I don't know much about religion though... Beyond the intense amount of bloodshed and hate its historically caused.

Girlie, they can't take who or what you are away from you. I'd take the advice of other commenters here... Low contact at most until they've taken the sticks out of their asses.

    based on my experience with these sorts of traditional religious folks, one is more likely to be excommunicated (or otherwise shunned out of the community) for telling people to love their neighbor. granted, there is some regional variation, and some denominations are better than others (e.g. from what i've heard the lutherans have a relativelty decent-ish track record?) but by and large i'd say your experience is the exception rather than the rule
