I was A Teenage GOP: Throwing Stones, Breaking Spells, and Who They’re Really Afraid Of?

VOICE OF THE RESISTANCE: Episode: “Throwing Stones, Breaking Spells, and Who They’re Really Afraid Of” Let me say this upfront.I am not proud of who I used to be.In my teens and early twenties, I was a hardline conservative evangelical Christian. Loud. Certain. Judgmental. I threw stones like it was my calling.Not real stones—words. Beliefs. Jokes. Sneers.I mocked Catholics.I made gay jokes.I was bigoted, casually cruel, and carried a quiet misogyny I didn’t even bother interrogating.And I wrapped all of it in Jesus.Which is wild—because none of it looked anything like Christ.I wasn’t loving my neighbor.I was measuring them.Ranking them.Condemning them.And I was applauded for it.
