Faith was never meant to be a weapon, a measuring stick, or a license to dehumanize others. At its core, Christianity was built on compassion, humility, and restraint, not superiority or cruelty dressed up as righteousness. History shows us what happens when belief turns inward and self-serving. Harm gets justified. Empathy gets replaced with judgment. And people start confusing personal bias with divine instruction. That is not faith evolving, that is ego taking the wheel. If a belief system hardens your heart instead of softening it, something has gone off course. True faith should challenge us to be better, not give us permission to be worse. It should call us inward before pointing outward. Anything else is just self-worship with religious language layered on top. #FaithAndCompassion #ThoughtfulBelief #SelfReflection #SpiritualGrowth #LataraSpeaksTruth
