If I want to be a true follower of Christ, should I leave places like this? And get rid of my friends I've made along the way who come from places like this? I'm so used to seeing people say faggot tranny nigger blah blah blah, but the more I get into the bible, the more I read the Gospels I realize I can't be in places like this and try to live the life I'm told to live. Or otherwise I need an insane amount of cognitive dissonance. I myself don't act like that though and the more I've gotten into Christianity the less I do that, and I'm happy to say I don't really use slurs or act out the way I once did. But all my friend groups do. And all the people here do too for the most part. But this and my friend groups are all I have. None of their relationships are worth being a hypocrite in God's eyes though. I suppose I worry he might think if I kept bad company. Well, he said what he thinks already. I'm just finding it to be the hardest part.
