It’s the same god ffs! Allah and god the father are the same person.
Are they the same three people though?
Not in their traditions, but in reality, yes.
Also not in reality though.
That’s because you believe one of the traditions, maybe you respect theirs as well, are facts. History tells us different.
What?
Do you believe in one of the abrahamic religions? If so, you believe that religion’s traditions are facts. History tells us that the separation of the 3 gods was not around until a certain date, so the holy spirit was made up by priests somewhere along the line. It was formally made into the tradition at the council of Nicene.
I think I see what you’re saying: the many revisions of the books and beliefs can be (at least roughly) dated without too much interference from the fictional supernatural elements.

Those councils are literal cancer for modern society. They shaped 90% of what christianity entails these days, meaning only 10% are the actial words of jezus (if you are so inclined). Yet people don’t even know about it.

They were political solutions to medieval societal problems. Or they were structural or hierarchical solutions to governance problems in the church. There is nothing religious about them and they are certainly not of this time. Even worse, they are harmful to modern society.

I’m getting downvoted so people don’t see this history. I find that interesting. I’m not even athiest, per se. I know all living things have a life source, so that’s what I would call god if I were to call it something. I don’t believe in religious doctrine, but some religions of any faith, do a lot of good in the world. I don’t care what they call themselves, volunteers, christians, muslims, whatever. If you do mostly good in the world, I’m on your side.
Which one was the guy who told Abraham to kill his son? Which one was the guy who told Noah to build the boat and Moses to lead his people out of Israel?
Mental illness, mental illness, and mental illness.
The same one that told Lot’s daughters to rape their dad.

Lots of overlap between ‘viking enthusiasts’ and white supremacists unfortunately. This specifically seems more christofascist but obviously lots of overlap there too.

Viking Symbols “Stolen” by Racists - The Norwegian American

The Viking symbols that symbolize the Norse—like the raven flag, Thor's hammer, and the Valknut—have been stolen and abused by hate groups and neo-Nazis.

The Norwegian American
Guy probably got confused when confronted with “conflicting” ideologies, i.e viking jewelry with Arabic inscriptions.
They got it from pillaging probably, right?

“God”: Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we’d all be a little better of we honored him more.

“God” but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.

That applies to pretty much every arabic word.
It’s not just limited to Arabic words: Arabic Numbers are scary, too…

“72% of Americans say children shouldn’t be taught Arabic numerals in school.”

Can’t wait to do algebra with Roman numerals.

Is that an X or an X?

Or dildos that look Arabic…

The funniest part of this is they’re literally the same god.

It’s all different forms of YHWH, Judaism, Islam, Christianity.

It’s all the same god with the fanfic changed up a little.

Tetragrammaton - Wikipedia

Don’t you dare attempt to explain that to an Evangelical Christian though
I tried pointing that out to my dad and he screamed “THATS BLASPHEMY” and turned purple.
Why even go to that cesspool of site to begin with?
I was going there for porn for awhile, but even that’s turned to shit. Everything is an OnlyFans ad.

What I’m seeing here is

  • ceo saying we’re an unpolitical, nice platform now and don’t want to get in trouble with the US government
  • admins toeing the line
  • mods not only toeing the line but engaging in pre-emptive obedience, or going beyond the call of duty or better safe then sorry or whatever you want to call it.

It’s the mods I don’t understand here. FFS they can’t even lose their paying jobs. The only explanation I see is that they do it for the sake of playing smalltown sheriff. But it’s not even fun, it’s just fucked up.

ceo saying we’re an unpolitical, nice platform now and don’t want to get in trouble with the US government

basically bootlicking just to keep his reputation intact… among other techbros.

Devil’s advocate says: there’s a lot of money involved.

Mods are always the actual dumbest most power tripping little fuckers. (InB4 banned from this com)

Edit: This is actually just straight up racist / xenophobic the more I think about it.

I wonder how this guy would react to the existance of the Arabic Christians.
They’d react in wonder and reverence, then immediately forget about their existence for the rest of their life while continuing to actively support their literal genocide in Palestine.
Welcome to the fediverse @[email protected]! Where we value craftmanship and education especially when it leads to quality OC.
Islamophobia still get a pass on the internet. Especially on Reddit.
it very much also gets a pass IRL
Such hypocrites. If it was about God or Jesus, no problem. Reddit hates people having different opinions. They prefer bots instead.

If it was about God

The irony of this is that Allah literally means God.

It’s usually called islamophobia more than irony.

Allah is known in Christianity as God the Father, part of Trinity. Being an Abrahamic religion, Islam simply expands on Christianity, while describing much the same characters.

Except Muslims do not recognize the Trinity as a thing; God the Holy Spirit is to them Archangel Gabriel, and Jesus (Isa) is a prophet, not a Son of God.

At least they banned you to your face. I keep getting shadowbanned…
Did someone say something? Weird…

I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.

Community ban from r/unitedkingdom, followed swiftly by…

Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people all over the world. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules.

Permanently banned for hate

Reddit is moderated by the worst people in the world.

I got banned for the same reason after a comment that contained a direct, attributed quote from Donald trump. TBF he is a hateful little shit so I probably should have known better.

I got reddit ban once for saying that some paedophiles are so bad, that lots of people think they should get the death penalty.

Tbf, some people are hiding their LGBT-phobia under the guise of “i hate pedophiles”, I’m not accusing you of anything, but I can see how that statement could be problematic.

Wait, there’s more!

Pedophilia is a sexual/romantic interest in prepubescent children. Most pedophiles never engage sexually with a child, and a good share of child molesters are not pedophiles and are just looking for easy victims.

So on top of potentially shitting on LGBT community, this also concerns people born with a shitty sexual interest that know full well kids should never be abused.

And the rates of pedophilia seem to be higher among child sexual abuse survivors, so they get death threats on top of their trauma. Not great.

reddit must be going hard on the anti-palestine rhetoric. if the mods wont ban you, the site filters would eventually. im seeing quite alot of shadowbannings that dont make sense.
Yeah that’s a big reason why I left. The amount of institutional support for genocide on reddit is absolutely gross but unfortunately totally normal.
The most absurd about this imo. is that Arabic is considered promoting terrorism, but Vikings are not.
Don’t you know, all us Arabs are terrorists, and anything in Arabic is immediately illegal!! FFS
Us Arabs? You’re one of them! I’m terrified you’re going to bomb me now on account of you being Muslim. Neo-nazi would be fine OBVIOUSLY
Doh! I gave away my cover, blast you meddling Butterfly!! *angry fist shaking
Sorry I can’t understand you cos of your accent (as you’re muslim you must be foreign, obviously). I’m just going to assume it was a jihad.
Wolowolowolowolowo. (In as much as a UK educated Muslim Arab accent as possible)
Mate I lolled fucking brilliant.
Excellent! My Job is here is done, this world needs a few more giggles.
