I mean, the whole point I was trying to make is that I think a lot of people can get along if they just respect eachother's differences

A lot, not all

Some will always be jackasses

I agree with that

But it's easy to forget that you, yourself, are the weird one if you go somewhere else in the world

So if you're scared of the unknown and the strange, you forget that if you switch it around

That unknown is you

hello casa

Hiya

I think a fundamental thing people need to learn is how to see the opposition's perspective while still holding their own

And respect it when they voice it. You have every right to disagree, but respect for the other person voicing it should still be at the core

im a furry

Absolutely, people think ad homs are refutations when they certainly are not

Good for you, pupper, now go play fetch somewhere

jk

wow

😗

arent we all furries

Yeah. I have started more and more to leave discussions that are from one side just pure insults and spewing out obnoxious slurs

If you want to get your point across, you can do so respectfully

In fact, it would probably make more people listen to you

how was your day @Casa

I 100% agree

Well, it's 11am and I feel pretty dead inside

So... Productive?

Sometimes respect is the best way to persuade

its 11 am and i have schoolwork

fuk

Mhm. People can suck so much though. I've met people who are hard into, say, Christianity who are absolute assholes. Yet if they commit a crime, it's still better than if I do. Because they just fell astray from God's love. I'm just "Godless"

Or even better, they'll use God as an excuse

Yep.

Like, fuck, I do charity work, I help my friends out. I listen to people who drive me up the wall, because I know they really just want to be heard. And like everyone else I have a fuck ton of imperfections that are NOT related to religion.

But I'll always be (especially in the US, I found) first and foremost, the one who doesn't believe in God.

Taking someone and diminishing them into nothing but a belief or lack thereof is so shitty.

Love thy neighbor. (As long as they're Christian)

i feel like most people on the internet arent christian

zzz

Yeah, but there are so many IRL that are. And I tell them over and over, I admire your dedication and that you stand for what you believe. I respect you regardless.

"Oh, thank you. Are you a believer yourself?"
"No."
"BE GONE SATAN"

It's a real weird tell the way someone tells you to deal with your problems, in the same way I have had someone close to me tell me im toxically masculine, I have had someone tell me to convert to christianity to get over depression

Yeah.

Religion is cancer as well
