Shout them down in every space, make them embarrased to think the stupid shit they think.
If we don’t embarrass and correct them now we will have to kill them later when they come for our friends and families.

I’m okay with letting them have Christianity though.
Not real Christianity though. Not the one where people feed people and help others. Don’t forget Prez Carter and Mr. Roger’s were both that kind of Christian. They can have the Jerry Falwell style bullshit.
You don’t need Christianity to be a good person. And it has enables too many people to do terrible things. Not sure you can split it into real/fake.
You also don’t need Christianity to be a bad person. There are many other non-religious excuses for doing bad things.
I don’t. But some people do. If it brings out the good in them, where’s the harm? And yes, there is real and fake. Real is following the actual actual teachings, fake is using them for self gain.
“Real is following the actual teachings”
I think I’ve heard this one for another religion, didn’t end up great for the people (especially women)
I thought we were talking about Christianity. You can move goalposts, but that’s a different game.
That seems fair, christianity has done enough in terms of sexism, racism, homophobia, genocide, pedophilia, … no need to point out others religions
If you want to defend pedophiles, there’s truth social you can go to.
Are you seriously saying Mr. Roger’s was a pedophile?
But my childhood church said that Carter and Rogers weren’t real christians. Mr Rogers never would have advised I follow the bible’s instructions to marry my rapist, for example.
I’ve heard “cherry picking” used a lot to deride christians for not following the bible, but I absolutely want people to be fake christians and only follow the feel good parts. I don’t want people to be devout and take things on faith, I want them to question what they’re told. I don’t want the real christians who follow the bible as closely as possible. I want them to acknowledge that the bible has some horrible stuff in it that nobody should listen to.
They can have nothing.
