    I miss r/Christian, there are very few of us on Lemmy, the communities seem basically empty here.

    It seems like the number of people who want to have that community, and the number of people who want to downvote any post that supports Christianity, are roughly equal here.

      Because most people are atheist here. Seems to be side effect of going deeper into the technology hole.

      Same for r/Islam. The couple I found here are abandoned.

      Look, you’re being downvoted already, and so will I :)

      I think nothing can go wrong with more religious subs the more subs and the more community’s the merrier I wonder what douchebags are downvoting you though

        Yeah I don’t get it. If you go on c/Christianity, half the posts have more downvotes than upvotes, and it causes a bunch of people to be inactive. They have over 100 members but nobody posting.

          It’s a shame really

            The only thing we don’t tolerate is intolerance. There’s no problem there.

            what there preaching about

            Oh. And bad spelling. Read some other books.

              I’m reading Lord of the flies by William Golding currently grammar isn’t really my strongsuit

              Edit: also the tolerance index is a sack of shite in my opinion if people like daryl davis can talk to and befriend the intolerant change there beliefs and make them more tolerant of other people then so can you. Your not obligated to if you don’t want to speak to or associate with that person that’s absolutely fine same applies to that person if they don’t want to associate or do business with you

                Fuck off with this “freedom of association” far right bullshit. It should completely be ignored and it’s promoters should be laughed at

      People here are not particularly too fond of Anglosphere due to their fetish for war and genocide. That includes Western citizens. Christianity may have born in Syria, but Anglos used it as a tool to colonise and assimilate countries and cultures.
