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.

    because Catholicism doesn’t have the numbers.

    Catholicism has the numbers. There are several countries in the world which are majority Catholic. (Including Vatican City, which is 100% Catholic.)

      It takes more than a simple majority to start killing every nonbeliever…

      And like I said:

      And followers are often naive.

      What’s your explanation for saying the Bible forces them to only have some political beliefs and not to support everything?

      If they can pick and choose, why should we care what they pick? Either it doesn’t matter to them what the Bible says, or they’re not honest about their motivations and/or goals

        Paraguay is about 90% Catholic. Is that enough of a majority? Should we expect a massacre in Paraguay any day now?
