Happy Sunday
(lemmy.ml)
It's almost like "hate the sin" means "judge people" which is something god did politely ask us not to do.
God: Judge not lest ye be Judged.
Evangelicals: So anyways, I started Judgeing.
The only thing I will say is that this can be a bridge behavior. If we at least get them to think with love and caring. If they believe I am going to hell, I at least want them to feel like they wouldn’t do the same if they were in charge
In the internet and isolated from people who have different beliefs, it’s easy to forget that compromise is the only way forward without violence. In this case, not compromising freedom nor equality, but what you’re willing to tolerate in someone else’s beliefs
Ok and we shouldn't be willing to tolerate someone believing LGBT+ is dirty or sinful. That's a belief that causes much harm. Imagine a trans child having to grow up in a home with parents who tell them it is a sin. LGBTphobia leads to abuse, all the time, so we should not tolerate it.
Saying we should simply compromise is some blind privilege if I've ever seen it.
Look, I completely agree, but what alternative solution are you proposing? Violence? Or do you think memes will change their mind?
Violence has never not worked.
What a short sighted world view. There are so many people in prison explicitly because violence doesn't work
They just didn't use enough violence ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my experience the bigots tend to view it as a bridge the other way. It let's them feel like they care whilst still pushing a destructive agenda. There is no compromise on the table, they just want you to submit.
There is no hate like Christian love.
Hate the belief, love the believer.
