  • I surfed a little bit on E-H and I did not encounter any “white supremacist” content. You should also consider this: they did not defederate from lemmy.world. That means they still tolerate the opinion from here. So far only lemmy.world defederated from them because they can’t tolerate this different opinions. And it is this kind of intolerance that interprets every deviating opinion as “nazi” and “white supremacy” and everyone who doesn’t approve their lifestyle as “hateful” that let’s me doubt if AskAChristian can be here. I fear that certain questions could not be answered honestly without it being labeled as “hate” and being banned and silenced.









  • Your link has a very shallow definition of the “No true Scotsman” fallacy.

    A better definition is on Wikipedia:

    No true Scotsman, or appeal to purity, is an informal fallacy in which one attempts to protect their generalized statement from a falsifying counterexample by excluding the counterexample improperly. Rather than abandoning the falsified universal generalization or providing evidence that would disqualify the falsifying counterexample, a slightly modified generalization is constructed ad-hoc to definitionally exclude the undesirable specific case and similar counterexamples by appeal to rhetoric.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_true_Scotsman

    But I can argue that the definition of Cristian comes from the behavior and teaching of Jesus and the new testament and thus excludes bigotry hate and racism.

    Also, telling people that they will be tortured for etwrnity (hell) […] is ultimately bigoted and hateful.

    Unless that is really true. Then it would be unloving to not warn people.
