    I find it ridiculous how downvoted you got. Of all the major religions Christianity is the one that went through the greatest processes of self-reflection and criticism and while I find most of its institutions still very flawed, it offers a lot of deep and compassionate thought and traditions. Also it actually has excellent philosophers and thinkers that integrate a scientific world view in theirs.

    Lemmy is very ridiculous in this regard. People have intense opinions on things they have no deep understanding of. It’s like how MAGA people react to things like gun control or vaccines. They preach tolerance of some things and not others.

    The thought of Putin finding Jesus could have led to a funny and weird conversation, and yet you were just met with hate. It’s so sad.
