i’m doing it because I want to make the fediverse more friendly place, in hopes of making it more welcoming for new users, and the nicer place in general. But I wonder how much is just less bots.

As in what opinions are causing arguments.
Edit: ah, you’re a Christian. Yeah if I’m being honest I hope most Christians stay out of here. Relgious folks as a whole honestly. Don’t need the toxic rhetoric that they bring to the table, with everything happening in america. I don’t think any Christian should be surprised to find themselves hated by less religious folks.
Found the problem, folks. Seriously WTF how can someone say something like this with a straight face.
This is exactly what I’m talking about - I’m not Christian, I think Christianity is extremely bad (hell, one of my only two posts is a song by Greek Black Metal band Rotting Christ).
People just assume the worst if they don’t agree slightly with your opinion.
Edit: accidentally replied to this twice instead of your next reply.
Oh lol yeah, I totally misread that.
Well I can tell you you have a blind spot when it comes to Israel. That seems to regularly cause arguments.
Have you considered that maybe you have a blind spot?
The majnstream opinion on a subject is not always the correct one.
Anyway I don’t want to argue about this, let’s just agree to disagree.
No, I’m not gonna agree to disagree. But I am willing to leave it at you’re wrong.
Thank you for proving my original point in this thread, I guess.
All too happy to.
Lol I assume I probably disagree with his position, but has he actually stated it anywhere yet?
I understood the question, but you can just look at my comment history of you’re curious.
I’m not gonna list all my controversial opinions in a comment, and I also don’t necessarily know which ones are considered controversial on Lemmy before I share them.
Yeah I did that and edited.
Christians shouldn’t be surprised to be hated. It’s right there in 1 John 3:13:
But Christians should make sure they are hated for the right reasons (unpopular beliefs), rather than the wrong reasons (lack of kindness and love). On behalf of Christians I am sorry for times when we have allowed fear, prejudice, hysteria and selfishness to stop us from loving those we disagree with, or those we don’t understand.
I am a conservative Christian, so I am certain there is much we disagree on. But Christians everywhere, myself included, need to remember to love all people, despite our disagreements, as we are encouraged to do in Mat 5:43-48 and Rom 12:9-21.
