New Communities
A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Rules
The rules for behavior are a straight carry over of Mastodon.World's rules. You can click the link but we've reposted them here in brief, as a guideline. We will continue to use the Mastodon.World rules as the master list. Over all, be nice to each other and remember this isn't a community built around debate. For the rules about formatting your posts, scroll down to number 2.
1. Follow the rules of Mastodon.world, which can be found here.
A. Provide an inclusive and supportive environment. This means if it isn't rulebreaking and we can't be supportive to them then we probably shouldn't engage.
B. No illegal content.
C. Use content warnings where appropriate. This means mark your submissions NSFW if need be.
D. No uncivil behavior. This includes, but is not limited to: Name Calling; Bullying; Trolling; Disruptive Commenting; or Personal Criticisms.
E. No Harrassment. As an example in relation to Transgender people this includes, deadnaming, misgendering, and promotion of conversion therapy. Similarly Misogyny, Misandry, and Racism are also banned here.
2. Include a community or instance title and description in your post title. - A following example of this would be New Communities - A place to post new communities or instances all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
3. Follow the formatting. - The formatting as included below is important for people getting universal links across Lemmy as easily as possible.
Formatting
Please include this following format in your post:
[link text](/c/community@instance.com)
This provides a link that should work across instances, but in some cases it won't
You should also include either:
or instance.com/c/community
FAQ:
Q: Why do I get a 404?
A: At least one user in an instance needs to search for a community before it gets fetched. Searching for the community will bring it into the instance and it will fetch a few of the most recent posts without comments. If a user is subscribed to a community, then all of the future posts and interactions are now in-sync.
Q: When I try to create a post, the circle just spins forever. Why is that?
A: This is a current known issue with large communities. Sometimes it does get posted, but just continues spinning, but sometimes it doesn't get posted and continues spinning. If it doesn't actually get posted, the best thing to do is try later. However, only some people seem to be having this problem at the moment.

Was this a competition? I wasn't aware. Congrats, you won!
So now you are going to be making two arguments:
No, it's not a competition, but you implied that because you identify as a Christian and I no longer do, that you're in some sort of position of authority over it. ("If that's your only idea of Christianity" you said after tossing out some wild strawman I had nothing to do with.)
Oh you're making demands of my belief system, when this thread is about whether Christianity is compatible with being trans? No Christianity, a dogmatic religion with Old Testament in its scripture is not compatible with being trans on an ideological level.
One is a hateful ideology that hates anything different. And one is just existing as a trans person. There's no "trans ideology" that is being tested against it, but you're asking as if there were, since the ideology that Christianity has to fight is progressiveness; "being woke", as the kids say. The very thing that Star Trek enshrines.
What's atheists have to do with this? I'm not an atheist, as I've told you.
And no, I won't be hopping to your demands. You've answered none of my questions or explained your views even when I asked nicely. You simply ignore facts about Christianity, literally, and say "well that's no longer the case" "you don't actually have to believe in this sort of thing".
You made a point about a gay man going to an imam. Don't you think that with how large Muslim society is globally that there's literally millions of LGTBQ+ youths who are battling against their even more dogmatic religion? Don't you think it'd be kind of the same thing for a man to be gay and still defend Islam, as if you are (I'm not assuming anything and hopefully haven't at any point) trans and defend Christianity?
Why is it different to be a gay man and defend Islam, than being trans and defending Christianity?
What "status" are you talking about? You do know why the nowadays politically incorrect phrase "dark ages" existed, right? Europe had the dark ages while Asia was bloomimg. First universities were Islamic.
Hell, Christianity got rid of Europe's smartest. And forced it's dogma down everyone's throats for a few thousand years. Christianity came out on top because it was the least accepting and most punishing.
The amount of progressive sociological concepts that Christianity put down in just ancient Norse religion is massive. Greece too.
Do you think a gay man would have had trouble living 2500 years ago in Greece? No. Absolutely none. What about after Christianity took over..?
Edit dammit, sorry I forgot to add the part I meant to write about how being trans and Christian on a practical level is completely different and mostly up to the people in any given local religious community. ideologically it doesn't fit but if you're trans and are asking whether other Christians can accept you? Yes, ofc they can. Christians are great at hypocrisy.
No, no, no... I've been trying like crazy to explain that "what I identify with" is completely irrelevant!
What I am arguing here:
What I've been telling you is that you're wrong.
Name one "Christian value" which you can and should take from Christianity. And that is specific to it. Not like "Christianity teaches us that you shouldn't kill everyone you see on sight" like the golden rule I mentioned earlier.
No.
A Christian value.
Go ahead.
I'll wait.
No, you just keep defending this bullshit and then you wonder why we have to go through wars and shit.
Stand up and call monotheism the cancer it is. There's nothing inherently good in it. Nothing. But there is a lot of inherently bad things, like dogma, and straight up anti-LGBT values.
Oh, no! Not again!
Ok, you can wait.
Deflecting again? Wow. So surprised. You can't answer anything or define anything.
Yet you imagine you're in a "debate"? Thanks for the laughs.
No, I never said I was in a debate. Did I?
If you don't mind me asking: how old are you?
You use words you don't understand? (That's a rhetorical question, I can see you do.)
"Dogma", "sacrament"? It's all Greek to me...

No.
