A thing I saw on a site that I want to comment on
Okay, I don't know what you all think of the Instagram site, Threads, but if you care to look, please look at this.

https://www.threads.net/@temecularises/p...LX1J?hl=ko

Make sure to read the continued comments in the replies from the same guy.

Now, if you ask me, I love what this guy says. For those unwilling to read this. Basically, he says something about loving everyone, including enemies, neighbors and different people, like the religious people, most definitely the Christians, told him to do do. However, it ended with the same people who told him to do that telling and calling him the following, and I quote...

"But now, you call me a libtard. A queer-lover. You call me "woke." A backslider. You call me a heretic. A child of the devil.😈 You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist"

I am not entirely sure if this really happened or if this is something else, but to me, it makes sense that something like this would happen. With that said, there seem to be a good number of Christians who do not care about or even hate people who are different. People of different races, the LGBT, people of different religions, females, etc. So not only do I find calling people a "libtard, a queer-lover, etc." for loving different kinds of people and all hypocritical, but I wish to say...

Those Christians do not have the right to spread the word of love if they wish to exclude different people from that love and even hate them.

In fact, I don't think those Christians are the right ones to use love in any way at all.

Given the history of discrimination coming from Christians, I do not think these people realize that they are not the ones who should be spreading love in the name of "Jesus", as not only is religion and what Jesus may have preached subjective in nature, but with that, I'd say these Christians "Give Love a Bad Name", if you know what I mean. I must admit, this may not only be just Christians, but perhaps people of other religions as well.

So, what do you all think about this? With all of what I said, do you all think religious people like Christians are the right ones to spread the idea of love around? I know not all Christians are the same, and not all Christians discriminate, but with the bad apples in Christianity, I personally think how those bad apples in Christianity do make it look like; in a way; that Christians aren't the right people to spread love, and even with those that do it properly, the bad apples seem to make the good apples look bad.

But yeah, hopefully, you can see what I mean. I do think Christians aren't really the right kind of people to spread the idea of love around, given how even love can be subjective and Christians can still discriminate against others.

EDIT: I realize this could have been on the Religion section of this forum. I honestly forgot about that before I posted this, so feel free to move it to that sub-forum. I just wanted to share some atheist based views with this, though.
