Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 5 weeks agoOr they disagree with you. I think they see the bullshit that is religion in general, as the comment I replied to was about religion in general.
But Americans are certainly busy making the Christian religion a very divisive subject. I mean two books by pastors who are pushing the idea that Empathy is a Sin? Or the notion that wealth is an indication of God rewarding the right people? It is a mess.
But like I said, this is how religion works, people invent it and wield it for personal gain and control. Always has been.

I left Reddit because of all the bullshit that it has become.
Came to Lemmy and mentioned that I was Christian. Downvotes.
Every time I mention it. Downvotes.
It’s unreal.

Can you blame them?
Religion is running right though politics and global affairs in a very negative way. Not a good look to be on that team. People just saw a man dragging a cross at the huge event for Charlie Kirk trying to show the suffering and burden he carried. These worlds are tied, and you are saying you align with that in their eyes.
But why you would mention your religious affiliation, is there a good reason?
Either you personally live by an ideal you can explain (such as feeling empathy for Biden in this thread) or you don’t. There is no need to say you believe in a fictitious being. Your acts and deeds matter more.
