I surfed a little bit on E-H and I did not encounter any "white supremacist" content. You should also consider this: they did not defederate from lemmy.world. That means they still tolerate the opinion from here. So far only lemmy.world defederated from them because they can't tolerate this different opinions. And it is this kind of intolerance that interprets every deviating opinion as "nazi" and "white supremacy" and everyone who doesn't approve their lifestyle as "hateful" that let's me doubt if AskAChristian can be here. I fear that certain questions could not be answered honestly without it being labeled as "hate" and being banned and silenced.

you’ll never, ever hear me say something as ridiculous as “The Bible Teaches

But you did exactly that, you just worded it a little differently. You implied that you know what the Bible teaches and it is quote "fine".

But isn't religion also one of the protected classes? I would only state what i think my religion teaches I would not discriminate or cancel anyone and let other opinions stand. But when someone tries to cancel me for stating what i think my religion teaches wouldn't they discriminate against me because of my religion?

By "society" you mean the majority of people? And when the majority of people thinks something is wrong that gives them the right to cancel out a minority opinion just by calling it "hate"?

What I think the Bible teaches based on my own historical-traditional interpretation” is fine.

Whith this you are implying that you think your interpretation of the Bible is the right interpretation.

Whenever someone says, “the Bible teaches,” it’s a major red flag to me.

Is it only a red flag when others say they know what the Bible teaches or also when you say it?

If someone comes to AskAChristian and asks what does your religion teach about xyz would I not be allowed to answer because the answer could be interpreted as harassment of a protected class?

[–] vaseltarp 0 points 1 year ago (10 children)

Who defines what is a "protected class"?

[–] vaseltarp -5 points 1 year ago (12 children)

What do you understand as "tolerant"? Does it have to be always affirming? Say, I state that a certain behavior is not good. You disagree. I tolerate your opinion even though I disagree. But you state that my opinion is hateful and want it to be banned. Who of us is "tolerant"?

I'm all for difficult questions. I'm asking if people would be silenced and banned for stating what the Bible teaches.

I would be happy to argue with them.
