“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them,” he says in Matthew 18:20. This seems to be a deity who likes people spending time with each other, and he doesn’t limit groups to two.”

That verse is talking about church discipline and making decisions in the church, God is with them.

This article is so factually inaccurate that it has no business even being published.

15 “If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. 16 But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. 17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector. 18 Truly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.Then Peter came up and said to him, “Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?”
