I guess it’s worth asking since I’m new here, but are there any CoSo accounts focused on Christian theology, doctrine, or related topics? Theology is a special interest of mine and I’m struggling to find a community for discussion that isn’t yelling and cat fighting like is so common on FB and Twitter.
No yelling & cat fighting on CoSo. Regardless of the topic. If you encounter it, report & block the offender.
That’s what the little flag is for.
@LnzyHou I guess I’m in the minority of Christians; can’t stand most of the politics coming from the left or the right. So most mainstream social media feels…unsafe to me lol, especially as a young woman. CoSo is the first social media site I’ve felt comfortable on. 🙂
@chevalier26 As an anarcho-collectivist queer pagan priestess who does my best to provide pastoral counseling to queer christians in a way that helps them feel safe and comfortable in their relationship with Christ... I feel you. Religion on social media is such a minefield. I'm new here and hoping it's as chill as everyone says.
@DoveWithScales So far everything is definitely more chill. I love studying the early church fathers, reformed theology, Catholicism, and similar things, and it’s like you can’t even ask questions anymore without being shut down. Nuance is essentially dead. Glad to find it again here.
@chevalier26 Yes! Obviously Christian theology and history isn't my primary focus, but it's a topic of interest and it's something I like to be at least conversational in so that I can meet people where they are. Though @NiveusLepus does in fact have a degree in the subject.
@DoveWithScales But no, you apparently “must have children and be a homemaker” to honor God as a woman 🙄😂
@DoveWithScales Another thing that makes me so incredibly sad is how singleness is viewed by many conservatives in the church. As someone who has no desire for marriage and children, that attitude comes off as hostile and ultimately shuns singles away from church life. Celibacy is so undervalued in the modern church, even though both Jesus and Paul state that it’s better than marriage and just as honoring to God.
