Yeah Christians are so persecuted. I feel so bad for them. Good thing you're here to defend them or they wouldn't be that most powerful group in the country.
Your response makes no sense, I never said they were. I said this meme is inaccurate and that Lemmy embraces hate against Christians.
Ok I'll spell it out for you instead of joking around then. This meme is incredibly accurate. There has been nothing in human history that has caused more pain and harm than religion and Christianity is the worst offender. It absolutely deserves critique and you're being unreasonable for saying that Lemmy is wrong for doing so.
Delusional. Also Lemmy doesn't criticize religion, it just promotes hatred for Christianity in the general sense. If the same memes were posted about Muslims moderators would remove them.
I actually agree with you that Islam is equal levels of shit compared to Christianity. "Islamophobia" is a bullshit word that I'm still confused why it exists. Of course people are afraid of Islam lmao.
Still though, the death tolls thanks to both religions are so high you can't even find estimates. Who knows which one killed more millions of people.
Yeah, the fact that parts of Lemmy actually seems to embrace radical Idlam because it "fights the west" is pretty uncomfortable.
There you go again pretending that Christianity is being oppressed when: 1) it's not and 2) it deserves to be so even if you weren't full of shit it would be appropriate
Hi, Jew here. You have no fucking idea what hatred means. Oh boo hoo, people were mean to your religion on the Internet.
I'm guessing no one ever kicked the shit out of you personally because you were a Christian. I wish I could say the same.
I'll leave it to you to guess what religion the people who have done that to me adhered to. Hint: Not Islam, Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism, Shintoism, Baha'i, Wicca, Unitarian Universalism or any traditional indigenous religions.
Hate isn't canceling. If people were shutting down churches or demonizing random church goers for being church goers you'd be right... but they aren't.
I mean... https://www.kiro7.com/news/trending/trailer-filled-with-bibles-set-fire-near-tennessee-church/MRGAXH5Y7RGUNIT4HSMB7EZ7A4/
An anecdote is not evidence of a culture of cancelling.
I thought that the article being from this morning would say enough, but I mean... https://www.christianpost.com/news/436-acts-of-hostility-against-us-churches-documented-in-2023.html
Nobody would fuck with churches if churches stayed quiet and stopped trying to impose their morality on the rest of us. Because of religion we are losing fundamental human rights. I'd be pissed too.
Ok, you are entitled to your opinion, but the claim was that Christian churches and Christian church goers weren't being targeted or "demonized," which I've shown is false. Both with an example from yesterday morning, and an aggregate data set which shows some level of significance. Now, whether you want to argue if it is deserved, or proportional, or whatever else is up to you and your morals. However, the original claim that Christians are not the target of harassment because of their religious affiliation is simply not true.
I don't hate the believer, I hate the beliefs. /s
