i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.
As in what opinions are causing arguments.
Edit: ah, you’re a Christian. Yeah if I’m being honest I hope most Christians stay out of here. Relgious folks as a whole honestly. Don’t need the toxic rhetoric that they bring to the table, with everything happening in america. I don’t think any Christian should be surprised to find themselves hated by less religious folks.
This is exactly what I’m talking about - I’m not Christian, I think Christianity is extremely bad (hell, one of my only two posts is a song by Greek Black Metal band Rotting Christ).
People just assume the worst if they don’t agree slightly with your opinion.
Edit: accidentally replied to this twice instead of your next reply.
Well I can tell you you have a blind spot when it comes to Israel. That seems to regularly cause arguments.
Have you considered that maybe you have a blind spot?
The majnstream opinion on a subject is not always the correct one.
Anyway I don’t want to argue about this, let’s just agree to disagree.
I understood the question, but you can just look at my comment history of you’re curious.
I’m not gonna list all my controversial opinions in a comment, and I also don’t necessarily know which ones are considered controversial on Lemmy before I share them.
Christians shouldn’t be surprised to be hated. It’s right there in 1 John 3:13:
Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you.
But Christians should make sure they are hated for the right reasons (unpopular beliefs), rather than the wrong reasons (lack of kindness and love). On behalf of Christians I am sorry for times when we have allowed fear, prejudice, hysteria and selfishness to stop us from loving those we disagree with, or those we don’t understand.
I am a conservative Christian, so I am certain there is much we disagree on. But Christians everywhere, myself included, need to remember to love all people, despite our disagreements, as we are encouraged to do in Mat 5:43-48 and Rom 12:9-21.
No. Christians shouldn’t be surprised to be hated because of some prophecy. They shouldn’t be surprised to be hated because of their vile beliefs which they insist on forcing on everyone else.
When your entire belief structure is based on faith, something that you cannot prove and that requires indoctrination, you have no place prescribing to anyone, nor do your faiths have any place in the state or law.
