Putin needs to find Jesus. He needs to read scripture.

I find it ridiculous how downvoted you got. Of all the major religions Christianity is the one that went through the greatest processes of self-reflection and criticism and while I find most of its institutions still very flawed, it offers a lot of deep and compassionate thought and traditions. Also it actually has excellent philosophers and thinkers that integrate a scientific world view in theirs.

Lemmy is very ridiculous in this regard. People have intense opinions on things they have no deep understanding of. It’s like how MAGA people react to things like gun control or vaccines. They preach tolerance of some things and not others.

The thought of Putin finding Jesus could have led to a funny and weird conversation, and yet you were just met with hate. It’s so sad.

When did this happen? Because I still see a lot of self-righteous hate and bigotry from Christians all over the world.

Ever heard of the age of enlightenment? Holy hell. Also, you can make jokes about Christianity publicly without having to fear for your life. Lots of preachers have problems with their churches and are progressives. What is wrong with you people.

The Age of Enlightenment was when intellectuals abandoned Christianity for Deism.

And yes, you can absolutely be punished for joking about Christianity publicly: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blasphemy_law#By_country
