The Dredge Tank. For posting all the low tier reactionary bullshit that you can't post anywhere else. Got some bullshit from Reddit with 2 upvotes and want to share, post it here.

This community was created with the purpose that Rule 8 fans will just block it.

The rules are literally The Dunk Tank's rules, just without rule 8.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Endless quote tweets and responses just mindlessly agreeing. Quite baffling.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of young Iranians are disillusioned by Islam because of their government. I certainly don’t see it out of the realm of possibility that there are lots of converts although Christianity is still at like 1% of the country. A drop in a bucket for now.

  1. There's zero evidence Christians aren't just some tiny minority in Iran.

  2. Why would disillusionment over Islam make people convert to Christianity and not just, you know, be secular?

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

To add to point number 2: I don't know any Iranians who are disillusioned who didn't just drop religion all together

Christians constantly do this shit, simultaneously oppressed but also on the rise in the millions for any given country.

It's a pathetic thing.

Missionaries of any religion should be banned.

If people cared, they'd Google your religion.

Same reason western kids hailed satan for about 7 years before graduating high school

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Those same people stopped believing in religion after tho. Very few of those people became born again Christians.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 3 points 10 months ago
  1. That’s exactly what I said lol
  2. because some people seek alternative groups, and Christianity is legal in Iran.

Hell, my ex-girlfriend from over 10 years ago is Iranian and her whole family converted to Christianity. Guess I should have asked why but I guess I don’t really care

I certainly don’t see it out of the realm of possibility that there are lots of converts although Christianity

I certainly don't see it out of the realm of possibility that everyone in Japan converts to Mormonism, it's still a ludicrous deranged claim to advance let alone take seriously

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It’s the second largest minority in Iran. There’s plenty of articles out there about it. Here’s one from an Arabic source so it should have less bias towards Christianity

Here’s one from an Arabic source so it should have less bias towards Christianity

Why would the source being "Arab" have less bias towards Christianity? Not all Arabs are Muslims, and the middle eastern population of Muslims makes up ~20% of the global Muslim population.

Edit: "Radio Farda is the Persian language broadcaster at Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, "

"Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, an independent news company which receives a grant from the U.S. Congress through the United States Agency for Global Media."

Your source is absolutely biased btw. This is from their about page. Also: bateman-business-card lol at confusing Arabic with Farsi.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I’m not sure if you’re purposefully being dense but only 5% of the Arabian population is Christian.

Like I said there are many articles that exist out in the wild. Don’t be a tool.

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

could you use that free search and find us something that isn't radio free cia

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

I used mine to find that source. Find me a source that shows there isn’t anything happening in Iran if you please. I really don’t give a shit 🙏

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I really don’t give a shit 🙏

We know, that's why your source is the CIA.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Ah just realized what sub I’m in. It’s like being in a loony toons episode

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

welcome. while you're at it, can you get us a source that isn't literally the CIA

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I have my best people working on this just sit tight

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

How do you prove a negative?

You made the claim, you have to find the source. Don't tell other people to Google shit, they're asking you bc you keep talking about it.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

What claim exactly did I make? I’ll wait.

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Bro you're the one who believes there's some secret mass conversion to Christianity in Iran, like who the fuck are you calling "tool" while believing that deranged nonsense

Do you even hear yourself, lmao?

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago

I never said that at all, homie. Read my original comment. Get off your high horse buddy.

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Arabs outside the middle east that have moved aren't included in your estimate, dumbass. Arab Christians move out of the middle east at higher rates than Muslims, Darze, etc.

Also your source is still dogshit and is absolutely biased, you still didn't address that.

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You sound like an angry little man. Guess that’s why you’re here trying to be Tommy toughnuts online.

You’re addressing things I never mentioned. Put your Doritos down and try to follow the conversation.

  1. Not a man
  2. Go back to reddit or kys, either one works penguin-love
[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)
  1. We can both agree
  2. looking at your account age, I’ve been here longer
[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 1 points 10 months ago

Take your nerd whining back to reddit.
