Hi, everyone.

I've created a new Lemmy instance particularly for the discussion of religion and topics relevant to religion.

Other Lemmy instances can sometimes feel a bit hostile to religion, and I'm hoping to create a place that feels a bit more supportive.

If you're interested, feel free to go create a new community there. I've also gone ahead and created communities for Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism, and if you're interested in modding one of those, let me know.

I follow the Bible, but I'm not a litteralist. You should read things about Christianity before having definitive jugments.

Then you’re just picking and choosing what parts you believe and what parts you don’t.

You believe a higher power provides instructions, but you disregard some of those instructions.

Even if the parts you follow align with modern mores, you're not following them for logical reasons.

And you can't seem to understand why that makes people nervous, you just want everyone to pretend you don't live your life by the guidance of an imaginary friend.

It's a fucking cult.

Maybe for now it's not dangerous, but very few are until they get a majority.

But I'm done here, you didn't arrive at your position based on logic, logic didn't get you to where you are today, it's not going to get you out of your cult.

You obviously have a very vague (and wrong) idea on how theology works.
