Welcome back. I agree with your current pastor. We don't hide our candles under a bushel but we set it as a city on a hill. But I don't think we are supposed to take the candle and burn everyone with it either. We are to share "the light" and not "blind the oncoming driver in the car with double high beam lights to create an accident". (I remember how I almost lost my sister because it was zeal without wisdom)
Remember our "faith works by love" and not by "stick it in your eye". (I kinda of feel your approach is the "stick it in your eye" approach
There are things I agree with and then applications that I don't agree with.
I would NOT agree that science is fake. Do they make errors? yes. Do they have to correct errors? They do constantly (no masks, masks, double masks and now the new Fauci approved mask.)

but I digress
There is climate change--but it is the interpretation of Climate change that I don't agree with.
Fossil DNA Proves Greenland Once Had Lush Forests; Ice Sheet Is Surprisingly Stable
Greenland was green. We know that it wasn't caused by modern human footprint. Climate does change. So, the question is "Is today's manmade or is it just the cycle recycling?". I believe it is "recycling".
HOWEVER, Can man cause a minuscule change? Yes! We have ruined lakes. But I wouldn't agree with man is the cause of ALL the climate change and, for that matter, For that if man were to be completely removed, I believe we still would have climate change.
Have we raised a bunch of wussies? Absolutely!! "I need a safe place" -- "I'm soooo offended" -- "You supported Trump? AAAAAAARG - THE WORLD IS COMING TO AN END" -- "You are a conservative and you want to speak out our University? DON'T LET HIM OPEN HIS MOUTH OR MY MIND WILL SELF DESTRUCT" And things like that.
Vaccines... they work. (Though I am a little wary of the Covid vaccine since it is a departure from the norm) I could say that I'm happy that I have already had Covid and my body has produced its natural vaccination. But I also think we have become too "clean conscience" and have forgotten that playing in the dirt has some benefit to it.
I personally have opted for no flu vaccinations but I believe they should go back to using the old polio vaccinations.
@Mock Turtle - thanks for the invite
