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?

They’re afraid of being treated the same way they treat others

It’s not just the white Christians, it’s all of them.

Christianity doesn’t 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 parks…

But when white Christians want refugees and immigrants conform to these values they are racist and bigot.
They can’t 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: “God wants you to stone homosexuals to death”
InternetCitizen2@lemmy.world 1 month 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 "civilized“ the “savages” 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 (I’m sorry, it shouldn’t be a luxury, but it is), while the colonized were busy trying to survive.

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 doesn’t excuse you for being an asshole.

Alright, I’ll admit this is a plan for a story I’m 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; “The 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.”
I’m starting to get curious if any one particular country might feel offended at my story when I someday write it.
