My grandfather had a chemistry lab in the San Lorenzo area in Rome and one day due to a heated discussion with his mother-in-law, arrived late for work. As soon as he put the key in the door of the lab, an Allied bomb hit the lab leaving little more than the door he was opening standing.

He survived that day, one of the highest death tolls in Rome in WWII.

You are probably overestimating how much thought everyone who expressed a disagreeable moral here gives to that issue. Theists are the last of my problems.

Exactly, you can conduct most interactions without problems and a good portion of them will even share the same views as me (a non-tankie-leftie).

The best depiction of what I mean on film has been given by Marcia Gay Harden in The Mist, in my opinion.

That is the kind of situation I prefigure whenever someone discloses faith to me, minus the tentacles.

Try talking in them anyway, maybe something general that you can crosspost to all of them at first. I had luck with talking into eternally silent Elite: Dangerous communities.

The beauty of a place without algorithmic feed is that things can surface way more easily.

Also, I wanted to use the Public API calculate a recent activity/users ratio to identify the silent communities that would be more worth interacting with.

I just tested Tesseract. Photon is WAY better.

I use Voyager on mobile.

Wait a second… gnostic like in Gnostic? I didn’t know it was still a thing. I thought they had you all killed by the other Christians in the 2nd century.

This is the kind of response I am used to: swearing due to offended identity, inherently divisive terminology like “our lands” and blaming for causing you to lose theist intestine wars.

Having tried a lot in the past, I know that a comment thread is not the place or modality to conduct a fruitful conversation with a Christian.

Being born a Catholic, I can tell you that epiphany came when I realized that all the good things I am sure you did do not need to bring with them the mark of a (made up) system of power: you own it yourself and the real animus driving your actions can be just a feeling of belonging to the human species at large, a species free to roam any land without the need to plant flags nor to feel attached to any place only to limit the potential of others and one’s own.

In Italy, our most famous Holocaust survivor, Primo Levi, in his book recounting his days in Auschwitz tells of a man who would spend all his cigarettes on the black market to get some soap and shower every day.

Asked about why, he tells that you not taking care of yourself and your body is what Nazis want to achieve: to turn you in the animal they can exploit to the last drops of blood and sweat.

Taking care of yourself is the first Resistance against Fascism and all those who are against unconditional respect for Humanity.

Take care, Brother.

I treat all people with religious beliefs as members of a dormant terrorist cell.

They could be your nice neighbor with whom you can interact normally on a day-to-day basis, but in the end they all have compromised against logic and, in the right conditions, that is a terrible liability.

I still have my reddit account, although with all posts and comments first turned into Fuck spez and the deleted. I tried Lemmy first 2 years ago, but the Italian instance is just a mirror bot farm. I gave lw a chance now and I am hooked.

That is absurd! Event Horizon is the only legit Doom movie. That was the idea all along and they even used the sound clip from the spawn cube in the movie.

Also, although I am not a 40k fan, I know some people see this as a prequel to Warhammer 40k as the moment in which humans first get to use the Warp.

It was ruined by execs, but it is a masterpiece, especially in the production design.
