Hi comrades,
We’ve received some reports recently and so I’m making this announcement.
In our rules, Lemmygrad does not lean one way or the other towards religion. This means that in effect, we accept all communists no matter their religion or lack thereof.
However, this doesn’t mean we allow feuds or unprincipled criticism. This seems to come especially from our atheist comrades, who sometimes (from what has made its way to us) see it fit to remind religious comrades that religion shouldn’t exist.
While we appreciate that the criticism is about religion and not the particular beliefs of some comrades, this kind of discourse does not have its place on Lemmygrad as we effectively don’t lean one way or another and expect users to lean that way too.
edit: as such, this reminder also applies to religious comrades.
We’re very hands off with moderation and we’d like it to remain that way in a community as tight-knit as ours.
This doesn’t mean that you can’t criticize religion or atheism, as long as it comes in good faith and is done from a Marxist basis.
This principle also applies to other contentious topics that are prone to debate on our platform.
reactionary Christians are not any more fake than any other type (if there are other types) sure the bible says “…it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.” but it also says “I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man she must be quiet.” there is nothing ambiguous about either, support for both side can be found in this text because it is massive and was written by a lot of people. i think it is extremely disingenuous for you to try to paint this non existent picture of real vs fake Christians. you could say there are bad and good people who happen to Christian but you certainly cant just write off this inherent problems and narratives which support oppression that exist in Christianity as if they didn’t because they are there in the same book you use to support your views.
