Spurgeon: stop giving to charitable societies—if you have time, be your own society. Visit the sick yourself; you’ll know the money is well spent and save the secretary’s salary.

Nearly two-thirds of LGBTQ+ people raised Christian have left their churches, per Williams Institute data. Of Americans under 30 who left any religion, 60% cited anti-LGBTQ teaching — up from 29% in 2016. The Baptists aren't softening. The Catholics aren't. The Mormon Church just elevated Dallin Oaks, 93, architect of the 2015 gay exclusion policy. Queer Christians are done doing that math.
