Just wait until they find out Jesus was a jew...
And not a white European man
Eh, I would be shocked to find a single religious believer who doesn’t disregard overwhelming majority of their holy book/-s! If you guys get to ignore the parts about woman rights, brown folks, homosexuality, slavery… why doesn’t he get to disregard the parts he dislikes?
I saw that and almost posted it this morning. I thought it may upset you and didn't. I was thinking about a 501(c)(3), but with the current administration, maybe it's not a great idea. What do you think about a mutual aid similar to hexbear? They don't do any vetting, but GoFundMe does, and maybe too well. I'm not sure about chuffed, but givesendgo may or not present it's own issues. I've been resting from a community project and minor injury, but if you think it's a good idea, I'll read the website terms.
I think it would be great to have a way to help folks. Money stuff is always kind of a hassle cause of forms, paper work and making sure it actually goes where it’s saying and all that but I think it’s worth looking into with a good amount of review and oversight on the community’s part.
Are you talking about nonprofit or mutual aid community? Because I don't think with the current administration nonprofit would be so great. Mutual aid would kind of take care of itself through the agencies listed, with some decent moderation, but would require a separate magazine, and a discussion among active mods about what we can all find agreeable (and there will be criticism). Maybe we can set up a private moderator magazine, but I don't know anything about how to do that. And I may need to get a new device with room to download an app so I have better mod tools, they are extremely limited on the web version of my device.
It would be nice to have a place for mods to chat. I was thinking Matrix but it's kinda hit and miss and needs a app. I use Tesseract for modding. I’m I don’t think it works on Kbin is the problem.
I was thinking a community like this one but don't know if it could be passworded. At any rate, I've been putting off a new device because of budgeting, but I can look around.
I’ll ask around and see if there’s a way to set it for mods only to view and post and we can set up a community for that
We make a decent team. Thank you, I really appreciate working with you.
Was he wanting them highlighted in blue instead?

Community Rules
- No bigotry or oppressive rhetoric.
All misogyny, racism, antisemitism, LGBTQ+phobia, etc. will result in removal and a permanent ban. This includes commenting that LGBTQ¢+ love or relationships are sinful. Be aware that using “Pharisee” as a negative slur is considered anti-Semitic.
1b. Side B folks are welcome, but follow Rule 1. If you are a Side B Christian, please respect Rule 1 above, but know that you belong here and we want you to participate.
- Do not promote oppressive/harmful ideology.
This includes all attempts to promote or normalise hate, shame, or fear within Christianity (e.g. purity culture, scaremongering against gender-transitioning, “complementarianism’”, or “demonic” attacks).
- No sectarianism.
Legitimate criticism of other Christians/Faiths is allowed but refrain from prejudice against entire denominations/groups, and against other religions (e.g. Islamophobia).
- No disparaging Christianity
This is primarily a supportive space for anyone who identifies as Christian. While everyone is welcome to participate we ask that no one disparages Christianity.
- Be respectful and polite.
No personal attacks or accusations, harassment, misrepresentation of others, or insults. This also includes forcing debate, gatekeeping, and denying the validity of another's faith.
- Don't be a Troll, or a Jerk.
Don't concern Troll, play Devil's Advocate, or pretend to be confused when you really just want to start a debate. This Rule will be interpreted at the moderators’ discretion.
- No spamming or proselytizing
Don't post here if you're mass posting to other Communities. Don't post here for self-promotion unless it's particularly relevant to this subreddit. This is not your soapbox, and we are not here for you to preach at us. If you want to promote your media please ask permission from the mods.
- Be sensitive about linking to triggering content.
Because we want this space to be as safe as possible, we discourage posting images or links to oppressive rhetoric from others. However, we do understand that venting is important sometimes. If you must post something potentially triggering, mark it nsfw or use spoiler tags, and censor any identifying information.
- Discussion of the ongoing israeli-Palestinian conflict is temporarily prohibited.
This topic has proven to be too divisive to discuss without consistently violating this Community’s rules. In order to maintain peace and to continue supporting one another, content regarding the ongoing Israel-Palestinian conflict is not permitted at this time.
Notice:
OpenChristian is inclusive, open and welcoming of all. We are LGBTQ+ affirming, but we welcome any who have chosen celibacy, as long as you respect Rule 1.
Do not post or comment about how you believe homosexuality is a sin.
We have heard this a thousand times, and you have nothing new to contribute to the conversation.
If you do this, you will be banned.
Please note that as a progressive Christian community, we are explicitly followers of Christ, as well as LGBTQ+ affirming and egalitarian.
Friends are very welcome to participate, no matter what you believe.
But this is not the place for questioning or debating these positions.
