That in itself is overstepping what Christianity is about. At the core, you only need to believe a few things:

  1. Jesus is God

  2. God is Triune

  3. Baptism unites us as Christians

Everything else varies from one denomination to another. Also, if you're going to put any restriction on /c/christians are you also going to going to apply this equally to other communities of similar faiths like /c/jews /c/muslims? The belief systems are very connected to the Old Testament teachings, where most of the discussion on this topic stems from in theological terms.

At the heart of Christian teaching is love. Following a personal conviction of self-applied beliefs because you think God's vocations are more important than your brain chemistry is just that: Personal. It should never spill over to anyone unwilling to follow such a path, especially in a way that is hateful. I think as long as participants understand that line in the sand is a line in stone and it is carefully moderated, then it should be fine. There's literally millions of other topics that could be discussed.

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: [email protected]

Did you read the whole rule list? It seems that you intentionally cropped that part out of context.

Its not nice to target communities by making this kind of posts and invite brigadeering on them just because you disagree with them.

I agree with you and it's sad to see you're being downvoted for stating something that should be obvious.

I don't like religions in general because I find them incoherent on many aspects, but that's not a good reason to attack them, they're not breaking rules, just ignore them.

[โ€“] rist097 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, I am disappointed that the mods took the decision so easily. This community should maybe revise slightly the rules, but there was no clear violation, it could be resolved with discussion.

And there I was expecting Lemmy to enable bigger freedom of opinion than reddit, I guess I was wrong. Seriously considering to stop using both networks.

[โ€“] ulu_mulu 2 points 1 year ago

I too believe it could have been resolved with discussion, I'm confused by such a sudden reaction, I just hope there may be things we don't know about it, otherwise it doesn't make sense to me.

I mean, we intend to allow Meta shit here because it's not "open minded" to block them preemptively, then we're being close minded about this.
