I am interested in a community of people of faith who are at the same time on the political left, particularly anarchism, and lgbtq+ inclusion, particularly transgender. I am kinda sick and tired of atheists harassing everyone religious. I don’t care much about the philosophy surrounding it, it is just that their collective behavior is arguably harassment, not a bit different to typical transphobic harassment about delusions etc. I believe that freedom of religious belief is a very basic right for people of all convictions. At the moment there is a huge divide: religious lgbtq+ people who are also anarchist (and might have been ostracized by their religious community on top of everything else) have no place to go without facing atheist harassment, and this is how there is no place to discuss faith together with politics and identity. So, here goes, I want to start this discussion with people who would like to see sth like this happening.

    A. Perhaps when people call out your bad logic you should reconsider your logic rather than going “They’re persecuting me!” Freedom to express your ideas is not freedom from having those ideas critiqued or debated, and in my experience a LOT of religious people equate the two.

    B. Read the rules before posting, maybe? This community is for advertising communities you’ve already created.

    C. If you do actually create said community and advertise here, be prepared to be downvoted to hell again.

        “no bad logic” indeed. It’s well known that abrahamic god loves lgbtq+ communities. Cities that host these communities were always awarded by the said god.

        but maybe op was writing about Buddhism? or one of the Shamanisms? Or maybe their gods are Olympian?

      You might be overgeneralizing. I have never posted anything religion related exactly because I see how religious people are treated online, and you know it just felt like shutting up for LGBTQ+ issues in school because speaking up would get you in trouble too. Sounds like bullying to me. Also, atheists shit on all religious people unprovoked in their own niches, like all the time.
