Technically all Christians have a version of this. Though even in “Bible Churches” it is usually tempered by the second bit below, and processes of repentance and whatnot.

9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[c] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

I Corinthians 5

15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

Matthew 18

As an aside, that Corinthians bit spells it out in plain-ass English that any “Christian” screaming at non-Christians about being gay, trans, or whatever either do not know their Bible or only use it when it supports the actions they already want to take.

As a second aside, it is kind of funny what one still remembers even after being out of the church for a couple decades.

It sounds an awful like you are saying, “Well yeah, we are bigots, but we are bigots because they deserve it!”

Am I misunderstanding you?

as evidence for what Christianity in the US is like is intentionally misleading

If I was trying to claim that is that standard view, then it would be misleading. Since I was actually claiming that there are a wide variety of beliefs among Christians, some even aligning with your values, it is pretty spot on representation. Treating them all the same is prejudicial behavior.

A fair-minded person would give an individual a chance to act like an asshole before treating them like trash.

There is a difference between attacking someone who chooses a disgusting belief system and bigotry.

Bigotry is thinking, what I believe is right and everyone who believes differently is wrong.

To point at all varieties of Christianity and say, “you are bad,” is being bigoted.

Now go restore Roe v. Wade or you are useless to me.

If you want someone useful here are some people that agree with you and will help you fight, assuming you can manage to not call their belief system disgusting to their faces:

Rev. Angela Williams, a Presbyterian pastor and the lead organizer of SACReD: Spiritual Alliance of Communities for Reproductive Dignity, told Healthline that faith leaders and religious groups that support abortion rights have been preparing for this moment for a long time.

Members of the Episcopal Church (79%) and the United Church of Christ (72%) are especially likely to support legal abortion, while most members of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the mainline Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (65%) also take this position.

It is unfortunate that you think so, there is a lot of wisdom in the various world religions.

We may be beyond the need for religion, but I doubt even that.

I have done and will continue to call out racial and homophobic bigotry as quickly as I do religious bigotry.

Unfortunately, as shameful as it is, one of those forms of prejudice is supported by most of the active population here.

Excuse me, but your bigotry is hanging out. Would you mind zipping up?

I also stared at the picture for way too long before realizing there was a video down below.

Nice false dichotomy.

I am someone that believes that for a democracy or republic to function that sometimes we have to sit down with people that we rather punch than talk to and find the few things we both agree on.

It is bad enough to marginalize small groups, but any political view that is advocating marginalizing half of society is the real enemy and should be fought against by all free people.

When you name yourself @Burn_The_Right, you make it clear whether you are targeting a specific group or everyone in a certain political direction.

When you make statements like:

Biden is a neo-liberal. Neo-liberals are conservatives. They are better dressed and more intelligent, but they are conservatives by all international measures.

Or dismiss 40-year democrats as conservatives:

Who are you calling “we”? A quick check of your comment history shows you are a conservative.

You make it clear whether you mean a single group or everyone who doesn’t share your brand of liberalism.

Combined with:

Conservatism is the biggest threat to humanity on planet earth. All means to extinguish an infestation are justified.

or this gem: Edit: fixed broken link.

Not everyone is willing to do what’s necessary to cure the disease. I am willing. If that makes me a monster, then I am the monster they themselves created.

Conservatism is a plague of oppression and death.

You can pretend that you are not an intolerant bigot advocating for mass-murder, but your own words betray you.

Reading through the constant fountain of hate that you spew in your comments makes it clear just how big of a problem Lemmy has right now. The vast majority of you comments are pushing for at least two-thirds of society to be “extinguished”.

I have seen whole instances defederated for having a user say less violent and bigoted things than your comments do.

Is this the centrist part, where some violence is ok?

Marginalize hate by becoming hate.

Teaching children to hate, especially dogmatic hate, is disgusting even when one’s stance is morally correct. If a stance is just, then by teaching children ethics and critical thinking they will come to the correct conclusion on their own. When one uses the exact same playbook as the worst parts of the group they hate, they become the worst part of the group they represent.

Since some people don’t seem to realize what a bigot actually is:

bigot - bĭg′ət - noun - One who is strongly partial to one’s own group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of those who differ.

Edit: Phrasing, mostly replacing the word “you” with generic pronouns.

Good to know. Might end up unchecking it myself in the not too distant future.

There is a sequel but it failed to capture the spirit of the first one. I think it used to be free on their website.

Also, when I watched it a few years back, they were working on a TV series but I am not sure if it ever got off the ground.

Maybe this is a silly question but does unchecking the “show bot accounts” box in settings not work on them? I haven’t gotten annoyed enough with them yet to uncheck the box to see if it works.

this place being crazy crazy overwhelmingly progressive (not shade) is going to push people away.

This is a serious concern. As a moderate, I usually get fed-up with how lop-sided it is here pretty quickly.

When I first joined Lemmy, I was optimistic that there would be a good exchange of ideas and open discussions from differing viewpoints. Unfortunately, that only lasted until I found the Agora. At which point I realized I had just joined Survivor Lemmy, and was always wondering which instance was going to get voted off the island this week. I pretty much dropped my sh.itjust.works account after that.

It is amazing how toxic the environment can be towards people with differing political views. I can’t remember the last time I was here and didn’t see someone calling conservatives fascists or saying they should die. Also, it is pretty rare day when I see someone use the word communist here instead of the pejorative “tankie”. Definitely not the kind of environment to foster inclusion.

If there wasn’t such an emphasis on civility, anti-racism, anti-bigotry, and non-toxicity here then I wouldn’t expect anything and probably wouldn’t even notice, but with that emphasis it seems to stand out even more.

As I understand it, seeing the same post multiple times when it is cross-posted is an app issue. The default desktop UI combines them all into one post with links near the top showing the other communities it was cross-posted to.

I never see the multiple post thing you are talking about.
