  • It sounds an awful like you are saying, "Well yeah, we are bigots, but we are bigots because they deserve it!"

    Am I misunderstanding you?

  • as evidence for what Christianity in the US is like is intentionally misleading

    If I was trying to claim that is that standard view, then it would be misleading. Since I was actually claiming that there are a wide variety of beliefs among Christians, some even aligning with your values, it is pretty spot on representation. Treating them all the same is prejudicial behavior.

    A fair-minded person would give an individual a chance to act like an asshole before treating them like trash.

  • There is a difference between attacking someone who chooses a disgusting belief system and bigotry.

    Bigotry is thinking, what I believe is right and everyone who believes differently is wrong.

    To point at all varieties of Christianity and say, "you are bad," is being bigoted.

    Now go restore Roe v. Wade or you are useless to me.

    If you want someone useful here are some people that agree with you and will help you fight, assuming you can manage to not call their belief system disgusting to their faces:

    Rev. Angela Williams, a Presbyterian pastor and the lead organizer of SACReD: Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity, told Healthline that faith leaders and religious groups that support abortion rights have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

    Members of the Episcopal Church (79%) and the United Church of Christ (72%) are especially likely to support legal abortion, while most members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the mainline Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (65%) also take this position.

  • It is unfortunate that you think so, there is a lot of wisdom in the various world religions.

    We may be beyond the need for religion, but I doubt even that.

  • I have done and will continue to call out racial and homophobic bigotry as quickly as I do religious bigotry.

    Unfortunately, as shameful as it is, one of those forms of prejudice is supported by most of the active population here.

  • Excuse me, but your bigotry is hanging out. Would you mind zipping up?

  • I had no idea this was a thing despite also having it directly on my walls.

    When I read your statement, I was like wait... I think that is what my wall says and had to go check.

    The lady that lived here before me put that and some other weird word art on the walls. Been meaning to get around to peeling it off and repainting, but keep finding other priorities.

  • More like Google had the better product a decade ago. It has pretty well been crap that was just being defaulted to for most of the last decade. Which is exactly why it is ripe for an antitrust claim.

  • Mildly Infuriating @lemmy.world
