Holy shit, I hope she will get out of this okay

…so, the other way is boycotting? Seriously though, correct me if I’m wrong, but spending your money on the competition sounds like boycotting to me

Quick, let’s all go collect sea shells, send them to Russia for free and deal the death blow to their economy by hyperinflation!!

Oooh, does a hugely corrupt society that only benefits the obscenely rich work neither for the East or the West? Who would’ve thunk

What a story…

Please tell me you do see the problem with speaking when you don’t know that the topic even is

(This whole thread is showing me once again online discussions are pointless)

We’re talking about the development of Christianity, not politics, right?

How can your comment get so downvoted? I just don’t get it

Ever heard of the age of enlightenment? Holy hell. Also, you can make jokes about Christianity publicly without having to fear for your life. Lots of preachers have problems with their churches and are progressives. What is wrong with you people.

I find it ridiculous how downvoted you got. Of all the major religions Christianity is the one that went through the greatest processes of self-reflection and criticism and while I find most of its institutions still very flawed, it offers a lot of deep and compassionate thought and traditions. Also it actually has excellent philosophers and thinkers that integrate a scientific world view in theirs.

Lemmy is very ridiculous in this regard. People have intense opinions on things they have no deep understanding of. It’s like how MAGA people react to things like gun control or vaccines. They preach tolerance of some things and not others.

The thought of Putin finding Jesus could have led to a funny and weird conversation, and yet you were just met with hate. It’s so sad.
