Looks pretty disorganized to me as is.

10,000 denominations cannot be wrong

Ah yes because there is no other way to combat organized religion then executions.

So you think wanting to live in a world without disease means wanting to kill every sick person?

Not existing does not equal murder

Theyâre afraid of being treated the same way they treat others

Which is very ironic.
âThe King will reply, âTruly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.â (Matthew 25:40)

Itâs not just the white Christians, itâs all of them.

Christianity doesnât teach bigotry.
Many sects do.

Cosmo, Wanda, I wish Christian Extremists behaved as though they actually believed in God

You got it!
solitude. Filth. Ugliness. Ash cans and unobtainable dollars. Children screamibg under stairways. Boys sobbing in armies. Old men weeping in the parksâŚ

But when white Christians want refugees and immigrants conform to these values they are racist and bigot.
They canât really do anything but lose with you, OP

What good does it do if all Christians are in one place? Not very manifest destiny of you Jesus.

White Christians spreading the love in Uganda: âGod wants you to stone homosexuals to deathâ
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Unfortunately Ugandans view lgbt stuff as neo colonialism. Most Africans are rather religious and traditional. If not Christian they are Muslims; both of which are none native to Africa and homophobic. Its hard to see how they will change their minds unless they come to the conclusion on their own.

I wonder if the West having this new wave of anti-queer reaction will short-circuit this cycle. Hard to claim we are agents of neocolonialism and imperialism when the US is attacking trans people and is on the cusp of rolling back gay marriage rights.

Funny that you bring that up. Most of Africa and West Asia got colonized when Victorian England was at its prudest point. They "civilizedâ the âsavagesâ and taught them their Victorian moral values. This has a lasting influence until today. While you consider yourself civilized and educated and those others are the backwards ideas, in reality while your ancestors were living off their wealth they had the capacity to think about luxury like human rights (Iâm sorry, it shouldnât be a luxury, but it is), while the colonized were busy trying to survive.
Korne127@lemmy.world â¨2⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Viewing accepting and supporting people that are different as (neo-)colonialism is just dumb. They deserve to be seen as equal and live a happy life there as much as anywhere else. Being African doesnât excuse you for being an asshole.

Alright, Iâll admit this is a plan for a story Iâm writing to help define who the bad guys are:
They hate the neighboring country, and homosexuality. They use puritanical thinking to frame the latter as an evil invention of the former; âThe men there are so fowl and heartless, they hate all forms of femininity, and prefer to bond with other demons like themselves. The women feel forced to find love with each other.â
Iâm starting to get curious if any one particular country might feel offended at my story when I someday write it.
