Imagine not getting mad at a hate church.
Oh wait, you don’t have to.
Imagine not getting mad at a hate church.

They are a hate church and/or a cult.
A few (of the many) red flags:
“We believe the Bible is God’s inerrant truth and it’s the foundation to everything we do.”
“The fact that we live in 21st century, it doesn’t change the message that God gave 2000 years ago”
“Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.”
They literally admit they’re cult in the FAQ page
Surprise, surprise, they’re doing tithing
If you check their annual reports, they have some $86+ million is assets and $6 million in cash(!)
From the article:
“At Crossroads, Tome says that the church is trying to walk the line between welcoming LGBTQ+ members and adhering to what he says are biblical traditions. Tome says that Crossroads does not affirm LGBTQ+ individuals in all ways.”
the more nuanced and relatively benign idea that everyone should be converted to Christianity and in that sense be a “Christian” nation while nominally maintaining separation of church and state.
Forcible conversion and theocracy is benign and nuanced to you?
Thank a christian for this.
I assume this only applies ro domestic felines?
And that’s just 1 botnet out of many.
Imagine non-network wrench situation:
“The FAA has grounded all Boeing 737 Max 9 jets today after a massive decompression event occurred on Alaska Airlines at 16,000 ft. The door plug blew out of the jet at altitude. United Airlines has reported, after inspection, loose bolts the door plug of several of its Boeing 737 Max 9 jets as it continues to inspect every one if its 79 jets in its fleet.”
What’s the ratio of boeing door decompressions to IoT devices being hacked?
Or execs.
At the same time the “put Christ into Christmas” lot will never reach critical mass because the numbers of the truly faithful and deep-pocketed are dwindling.
Fortunately for us, as the truly faithful “put Christ into Christmas” lot are the ones calling for removing our rights and building a theocracy.
How about we don’t put the religion back into christmas AND we don’t make it about materialism?
I don’t get why it has to be either about a bigoted religion or celebrating materialism when it can be neither.
Christmas for me is finally going home and having a day together with extended family where we get to finally meet after a long time.
Go on then, show us which rule she broke.
We’ll wait.
This is a PR move, don’t fall for it.
Quotes from the man himself, on how much he actually supports marriage equality and LGBTQ peolle:
“I cannot hide my concern for the family, which is threatened, perhaps as never before, from within and without. Fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and the family. I can only reiterate the importance and, above all, the richness and the beauty of family life.”
“What is at stake here is the identity and survival of the family: father, mother, and children. At stake are the lives of so many children who will be discriminated against in advance, depriving them of the human maturation that God wanted to be given with a father and a mother.”
“[Marriage equality] is not a political struggle; it is the destructive attempt toward God’s plan.”
“”[The push for marriage equality is] the envy of the Devil, by which sin entered the world, which cunningly seeks to destroy the image of God.”
Don’t fall for their lies.
Does this mean he supports religious vandalism so long as the vandalizing party strongly disagrees with the other?
He supports religious vandalism as long as the vandal is christian the the ones getting vandalised isn’t.
Sorry, life got in the way. I’m not surprised you’re not familiar with such matters.
I am surprised how much you support spreading hate speech by removing the ability of moderation.
You didn’t answer my question.
Who would pay for the platform, and who would moderate it? Or do you just want even more hate speech to spread?
A public forum, I assume paid for and maintained by the taxes of the public?
Ah, so you’re pro moderation when you personally find the contect to be even indirectly harmful.
“Double standards are bad, no matter which side.”
Why should anyone get to own the only effective avenues of communication? Communication is what determines how the world works.
Who currently owns the “only effective avenues of communication”?
CP is illegal obviously, and jihad doesn’t make sense in the cute cats category the way ‘straight only game mod’ makes sense in the ‘game mod’ category.
“Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective.” Seems there’s a limit to the ugly you’re willing to put up with, and you’re quite willing to silence perspectives yourself.
You cleaely still want people to moderate social networks. I assume you’d want these people to outside the company?
Major media outlets and companies should not be considered private platforms.
Really? Now I’m curious, how do you imagine that?
I assume the company still pays for the platform, hosting, development, etc. Since it’s public, are they now subsidised by taxes?
Who moderates the platforms then? Are is it all just unmoderated?
Will companies get compansated for lost revenue?
I genuinely curious how you imagine this working.
Anyone can sign up and post while they use their money and influence to decide who gets heard.
Yeah, because it’s theirs. They own it.
If I let everyone into my house for a party, doesn’t mean I lose the right to kick people out.
Sometimes you gotta put up with some ugly if you don’t want people silenced for their perspective. I don’t want an echo chamber.
I’m okay with an echo chamber if it means I don’t have to put up with CP and jihadi execution footage in my cute cat feed.
I assume it would be no problem for you.
You seem to be projecting…
