I think the larger problem in US culture has been the attack on our history. I read How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization and I thought I was pretty knowledgeable on the topic. I wasn't. We've been programmed to have a disdane for our history. There were many mistakes but we don't really learn where a lot of the good came from. Men of faith are largely responsible for this world we love.
Since reading this book I've been digging into church history with an open mind and a desire to find common ground. I have been massively encouraged and it's driven home a desire to see the church live out loving one another more. Christians have to get better at disagreeing and online communication. We are behaving in ways that are destructive.
Trying to live it out and encourage it in my circles.

I think it's best not to look to online personas for Christ-like conduct (although some manage it.) The economic incentives of social media just push everyone towards very un-Christian behavior.
I think if you spend enough time inside solid, local churches, you will find many people to be encouraged by.

Oh totally. I am talking about the message being sent out by this behavior including people that are not "influencers". Our pastor has talked about this a bit recently.
