    I’m not saying he isn’t a dick in this thread, but a theist may just as easily concern troll and say, “I just want nonbelievers not to go to hell” and that feels equivalent to me.

    No one is being swayed by either of these arguments either way.

    The user in question is borderline block material anyway based on the rest of their engagement, and they get uuuuuultra defensive when called out.

      …and that feels equivalent to me.

      wholeheartedly agree, and i would call it out just as i did here. :) either way, such a statement is quite offensive and irresponsible behavior to come from a leader of the “world news” community.

          Ask about it on the lemmy github to implement it

          Though someone needs to develop a fork of lemmy already because the developers are tankies and they also admin the ml instance
