The place I am coming from is that I think far too many of our brothers and sisters in Christ are a part of the economic incentives of social media and instead of being different from the culture around them they are seeking out people that do not act in love. People that do not live and promote the way of Jesus.
That said, there are people doing it the right way. People like Gavin Ortland, Trent Horn, and others across the the spectrum of faith traditions.
