@annie I struggle with this. I look back at my evangelical upbringing and my beliefs back then and know that this post is about me too.

I still think it’s important to hold the belief and hope that people can change (even if it’s rare).

But I also (personally) need to accept that the people I want change from the most might never change.

@zachleat yes, I struggle with this duality too. There are people who love me who sincerely believe I am bound for hell when I die. I love them too and believe they're (inadvertently perhaps, but still) part of actively creating hell on earth. It's hard to know what to do with all that.
