Aw, man. Again with the downvotes. I really don't understand why Lemmy is so hostile. I'm just looking to be happier and more able to love someone the way the are meant to be loved. :(
Maybe putting the boogey man ahead of your relationship?
This feels a bit rude, what are you trying to say?
I think they're trying to say that god isn't real and is just a boogey man to scare people into behaving in certain ways.
So, God not being real is the reason he's being a dick to religious people for no reason? I'll stick to God then so I don't do the same
Where am I being a dick to religious people? I was posing a possible answer to your question. I did not even downvote your post.
Then in good faith I believe that no, it's not because of the boogeyman.
I think it's more nuanced than that. Religionists are pushing their beliefs on other people on many fronts. (Not you, per se.) It's been happening for thousands of years, and non-believers are tired of it.
Stumbling into a true believer in an otherwise very secular online forum (Lemmy) is a painful reminder that true believers exist and support the machine.
@CrayonRosary @LucidBoi I mean clearly if the non-believers were tired of people pushing their beliefs on other people, they wouldn't be brigading a Catholic community.
Brigading. Funny. It was a post I found while browsing "Everything", and I simply answered their questions.
