Wrong. Read books
I want a discussion. It shouldn't be that hard to explain.
I'm not going to convince you of Christianity by saying.
Wrong, go read the bible. It's not that simple.
They're inviting you to read history, not claims of the supernatural. Most of us arrived at our more reasonable assessments of the Stalin administration by studying mature works of history. If you are expecting somebody to spend only a couple minutes refuting decades of Cold War propaganda then you are unlikely to find much help anywhere.
I just wanted a discussion or good starting point Cowbee has already provided that
I do recommend reading the history books provided, however. I fully back what my comrades here have suggested, and don't want to take away from their inputs on the matter. Rather, I endorse them, and think the idea of comparing theology to history when it comes to the notion of research is rather rude.
I think that simply saying "wrong" was rude as well; responses like that can alienate people.
Your top-level comment is a great example of how it should be done 🙂
While I agree, I don't fault comrades for being short of patience when combatting the same mistaken notions repeatedly. I take breaks frequently from Lemmy as a consequence.
