I don’t know any true Christians who are MAGA or racists or even bigots. But with the commonly used definition that if someone says something is bad they automatically are seen as hating the people doing it many people arguing in communities like that would be called haters or bigots and possibly be banned here on lemmy.world. Even though most true Christians don’t like MAGA and hardline rights they might feel the need to create communities like r/TrueChristian oad r/AskAChristian on exploding-heads.com or similar servers because they might think that their opinions are tolerated there. What do you think?
Do you think that a community like TrueMuslim would be welcome? What is your own attitude to having such community as neighbors?
They should be allowed. Whether or not they’re welcomed is up to the individual.
As long as it’s moderated in a way that ensures it doesn’t devolve into a bunch of thinly veiled or overt jabs at the usual groups I don’t see why not. Do i have faith it will succeed? Not really
I’d say, replace Christian with any religion and ask if you’d like to see it…
When there is one you wouldn’t like to see, like Muslim, Satanism, Wicca, Athism,… I’d take that as answer.
I’m of the opinion everything that’s legal should be possible. That’s the whole idea of free speech, that goes for everybody, no matter how much you disagree with them.
“…Satanism…”
Hi :)
Personally, I think any religion should be able to practice their beliefs. In their own communities. The trouble is that most Abrahmic based religions are evangelical and feel it’s their mission to judge everyone, loudly and repeatedly, by their beliefs both in and out of their communities because to them, their religion is literally the sole truth and they don’t understand the ill feeling that generates amongst people who don’t need a god to tell them to be decent people.
On the other hand, with more then 1 religion stating that ‘all others go to hell when not believing in our god’, you’re going to have a lot of people. ;) But your right, that’s my biggest objection about the middle east trilogy based religions, ‘our religion is the only real one and we’ll kill everybody that doesn’t agree’. I’m glad that kill is replaced by convert for most but the extremist. Alas all extremist, either christian, muslim or jew, still seem to be very compelled to enforce their views to the rest of the world, with support of weapons.
I’m more of the ‘live and let live’ approach as well, which goes for all creatures. (ok, most, I still like some meat from time to time)
Truth, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder. People should accept that others have other points of view that are also valid.
I would welcome them but I don’t know how long that would last. The problem for me is that Christianity, in its current form, holds several views that I fundamentally disagree with and believe make it a hate group. I’m not tolerant of that.
