If you want to know real Christianity, read the Bible. I would recommend starting with the gospel of John.

You are right. Real Christianity is practically the opposite of fascism. But anyone can just call themselves Christian and we can’t do anything about it.
Many routers have an option to login to a VPN. Then all traffic that goes over that router to the internet goes over the VPN. Theoretically something like that should also be possible with a Linux server if the server is local. With this setup you shouldn’t need to configure the VPN on your local devices.
57 gunshot wounds? Sounds like suicide.
I mean WTF guys, did they use him as a practice target or what?
That is actually very “Christianly”. Jesus argued a lot. For example with the pharisees where they where wrong, etc.
OK I think I now understand your comment better. I overlooked the quotes. Sorry.
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?
Who defines what is a “protected class”?
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”?
Your link has a very shallow definition of the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.
A better definition is on Wikipedia:
No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their generalized statement from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly. Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and similar counterexamples by appeal to rhetoric.

But I can argue that the definition of Cristian comes from the behavior and teaching of Jesus and the new testament and thus excludes bigotry hate and racism.
Also, telling people that they will be tortured for etwrnity (hell) […] is ultimately bigoted and hateful.
Unless that is really true. Then it would be unloving to not warn people.
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.
