Most we observe in the media either the kumbaya Christians, where Jesus died for everyones sins and everyone goes to heaven. Or the MAGA Christians who believe treating the poor like dirt is owning the libs.

The question about evil existing is rather easy to answer but all the Christian internal discourse would be more confusing. I don’t have much experience with it but

technicalities like whether you go to confession or not or whether praying to Mary is idolatry.

Wouldn’t that directly violate the first commandment?
