Snapchat Confessions, Hypocrisy and More Reasons Weâre Ditching Church

TBH, weâre pro people in general. We believe he, she and they have every right to love whomever they chose. Love is great. But know what isnât? An institution that preaches it, yet demonizes those who feel it.

Jesus and Social Media Donât Mix
#JesusLives, @jesusontwittorrâŠReally? What happened to the sacred worship of God? Kim Kardashianâs latest cleavage shot and Jesus should never be next to each other on our Twitter feeds.

Weâre hungover and have a brunch date to recover. Despite what mami says, those are perfectly valid reasons to avoid attending church on Sunday morning. Hours of loud preaching are more than our throbbing heads can bear.

As much as we love abuelita, weâre not going to believe everything she says about the creation of the universe and other literal translations of the bible. We have our own minds, and actually like to use them.

We have every right not to get married if we donât want to, have kids when we chose to and be sexually active if we please. Oh yeah, using condoms makes us smart, not sinners.
