Reply to comment by fortmis in What’s an unpopular opinion that you hold when it comes to anarchism or general leftist thought? by byro1234512345
Also fair although I would put myself in the “mainstream libsoc” camp and don’t find anything wrong with that but still I can understand why some would think we’re too “soft” even if I do disagree with it at the end of the day

"Soft" is a wrong term, I think. It implies that those who think that consider themselves "hard", which isn't usually a case.

By “soft”I just mean not being as radical

So what's your answer to this question?

As in an unpopular opinion? Well i have a few but I think this is definitely the most unpopular one, especially here...
I don’t like anti theism, granted that’s probably because I’m christian which now that I think about is also kinda unpopular here but still, I think they are ironically pretty dogmatic and zealous and I think even when it comes to anarchists it can quickly lead to tyranny and violence (on reddit there was a “anarchist” who deadass said there should be a “don’t say god” bill), now don’t get wrong I do agree with some of their points and I also understand that many become anti theists (especially if they’re lgbt etc) because they have been wronged by Christianity and or other religions but still, bigotry should not be answered by bigotry and hatred should not be the answer for hatred

yeah, i thought so although this sub reacted better then i thought it would. btw what are your thoughts on Christian anarchism??
moonlune wrote (edited )
an anarchis approach to life make sense theologically : it's pretty close to Jesus' preaching. But I don't think being christian brings anything different in a good way over regular anarchism, while locking away some of the fun.
Maybe we should call christian anarchism, anarchist christianism, to show better where their priorities lie.

Tbf we see the Christian part as more of a motivation then a goal and even the more conservative members tend to take a “live and let live” approach when it comes ‘fun stuff’ and we frown on stuff like coerced or manipulated conversions
Also I think anarcho-Christianity is a better name
moonlune wrote
Oh no by fun stuff I meant embracing eternal damnation because fuck god even if he exists, instead of accepting the one hierarchy of the divine over the mortal.
