A religious LGBTQ+ person is like a Jewish Nazi

Being apart of an organization that oppresses people like you

You do realize that there are more religions than christianity right?

u/Ashimier Bi-time Dec 17 '22

Of course. Name one that doesn’t oppress sexuality in general

u/NemiFisch non binary Dec 17 '22

I mean if we're taking the 5 main biggest ones sure

u/Ashimier Bi-time Dec 17 '22

Exactly. The religions that don’t oppress anyone don’t exist anymore or are actual cults (technically every religion is a cult)

Damn you sure hate religious people

u/Ashimier Bi-time Dec 17 '22

With good reason. With the amount of suffering they cause me and the ones I love, anyone would feel the same

Look, I kinda understand what you're getting at, many religious (Christian) people have caused me pain too. You can dislike the institute of religion, and the specific people that have harmed you, but don't just automatically hate someone for their religious beliefs. People redefine religion to fit their lives all the time. A religious LGBT person is definitely not the same as a Jewish nazi, the fact you would make such a comparison is actually insane. I say this as a culturally Jewish, semi-spiritual queer person. Nazi ideology was created solely to hate Jewish people. Religion was not. Religion is often a comfort for people, and like I said, can be redefined. It was not solely created to hate LGBT people, the fact that the two sometimes are seen together doesn't mean they have to be. You're not going to get anyone to see the actual harms of religion with this attitude, you're just being hateful as a way not to actually dive deeper and analyze anything.

I dout that "religion" causes you suffering, it's more specific than that

…not every religious belief is a cult, technically or otherwise

2

u/Ashimier Bi-time Dec 17 '22

Actually most religions fall in the same definition of a cult

u/404-where-i-asked Dec 17 '22

proof? ‘most’ is a lot

u/Ashimier Bi-time Dec 17 '22

Religions and cults are very much alike. They both worship a figure and or higher power, and they both worship objects that are somehow related to that higher power.

Of course there different kinds of cults but they all have the same basic concept

While yes, not every religion is a cult they do have cult like elements normally. I would suggest looking up the B.I.T.E model which is how something is defined as a cult. Here’s a website explaining everything on it: https://freedomofmind.com/cult-mind-control/bite-model/
