Why is ABT changing their name to Mtn City Church?

As someone who grew up in that church, their new leadership is a fresh hell. They took everything they learned from Prevo and decide it wasn't hateful enough. At my time there clergy and staff, including teachers at their so called "school" taught that black skin meant you were cursed by god and could never enter heaven. That killing and bombing doctors and planned parenthoods was the "morally correct" action. I specifically remember in 2008 being taught that barrack Obama was "the anti christ". My 8th grade religion teacher taught us that he "had a pentagram birthmark he covered with makeup". That "the military was building guillotines to behead the christians any day now" and that michelle was secretly a man sent to molest all your kids. That religion Heather is now head pastor for this "church". When your pastor stands outside a pride parade and screams death threats and slurs you have a major problem. When your head pastor pins an African American child to a locker during a high school basketball halftime and says "you don't have a daddy? I'll be your daddy." You have a major problem. When a 14 year old girl is raped by three men in the school weight room and you expell HER for "asking for it" AND allow the boys to stay AND use your church donations to legally smooth it over, you have a major problem. If this is an attempt to rebrand I wouldn't trust it.
