I’m curious to get everyone’s thoughts on opportunities to improve!

    Ah yeah, that does happen here unfortunately. People on Lemmy are unreasonably hostile to anything Christian or pro-religion, even moreso than Reddit was.

      Yeah. It’s like the neckbeard atheists did it. Since I talk about religion a lot I put it on my profile, and someone got upset at me because I expressed disgust at a trans person being murdered because apparently I should either stop being Christian or not be disgusted at atrocities. It’s sad.

          Christian fundamentalist? What does that mean? Someone who believes in the fundamentals of Christianity? Are there people who are “half christians” or something that only believe in half of the fundamentals of Christianity? That doesn’t really make much sense.

              Strange term ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I never once expressed biblical inerrancy, literalism or young earth creationism though, so don’t know why you think that

                I used the term more figuratively speaking

                More referring to you inconsistent views on abortion which I assumed would stem from some religious motivated believe.

                  What’s inconsistent about it? My views are basically “killing people bad”. Is killing people being bad purely a religious belief?

                    Your argument is that killing people is bad (under most circumstances). When asked where you would put the line in human development, you name criteria like pain, heartbeat and visual similarity with fully developed human. But when asked about abortion you put the line at implantation, so a blastocyst, which is void of all the criteria you named yourself. That’s rather inconsistent, wouldn’t you agree?
