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.

Religious people do whatever the Bible tells them to do: "You're a mindless cultist!"

Religious people pick and choose what they believe: "You're a hypocrite!"

Meanwhile, non-religious people do the same things because both of those things are just simple human behavior, but they don't have self- awareness about it.

I know you're trying to say those first two lines ironically...

But yeah, that's right.

Maybe some day you'll see that, but logic won't help until you're ready.

You can't accurately criticize something you don't understand. The more you post, the more ignorant you seem. But by all means, wallow in it. I'm not going to join you.

Some people are proud of their ignorance, that's true of some religious people and some non-religious people.

Definitely. That's part of human nature, too.
