It'll probably be more useful to try and revitalise some of the other christian lemmy communities. Thank you for being understanding, though.

Well, no. Religion is nothing without faith. You have to be personally called to that faith in order to be able to explain things to yourself in a religious manner. I'll recommend this video, though.

I think you're mixing up primitive mysticisms and the modern variants of religion. There are, actually, some things both science and christianity struggle to explain. Of course, both say they do, but a fool-proof argument isn't readily available. If you're open to it, approaching the fine-tuning argument from both the atheist and theistic perspectives is extremely interesting. Both have very good points.

I wholeheartedly agree, but most people are quick to restrict opinions that go against their own, so communities like these are going to have a very hard time coming to life on instances like these (to say nothing of the instance, i love it here)

Exactly! Us younger Catholic folks are usually not anti-science. cough cough "it's the boomers and gen x most of the time"

Wow, I was literally thinking of deleting the community yesterday, and now I see this post! I'm the creator of that community. The posts do get immediately downvoted, so I assume that people feel uncomfortable with a religious community here on dbzer0. I will definitely remove it once I get to my computer. Just wanted to say. I am definitely not anti-science and I am a normal person who got converted a few months ago (used to be an agnostic). I am still a diehard leftie and I love astronomy, cosmology, I read science fiction and pirate!!! Catholics come in all shapes and sizes. However, I do agree that this instance might not be the place for a Cath community and therefore I will remove it.

A bit, yeah. His fanbase is 10x worse. He's targeting a younger audience, which is great! Except, the younger converts, especially US-based are weird trad incel types. Even my parish priest is aware of this issue xD

I don't use social media besides Lemmy, but his videos are mostly good until he starts talking about women and masculinity and liberalism. I try to steer clear of any prescriptory non-religious talk from religious sources.

My grandfather is far gone down the rabbit hole of conspiracy theories. He apostasised because he believed what benevacantists were saying...

That doesn't reduce their revenue, right? Except in the case the companies don't see increased traffic coming from Firefox therefore pulling their sponsored links from FF.
