Really? So why is that Krill East Orthodox Shaman announcing he hates gays every single week?

Also show me the religious Muslim who isn't a homophobe

Up until fairly recently, Orthodoxy was not a strong influence on Russian life.

According to this Guardian article, British Muslims have no chill, but more than a few Muslims on the mainland are chill with gays, particularly in France.

You seem very centered on Abrahamic religions. Pretty much all Western neopagans are tolerant of homosexuals. Francis Cabral, a Jesuit missionary, recounts with disgust about how homosexual relations were tolerated by Japanese Buddhists. Hsing Yun, a Taiwanese Buddhist who died last year, specifically said that homosexuals must be tolerated. Haitian Voodoo has two deities associated with homosexuality. Various indigenous religions in America have similarly tolerant views, and the term "two-spirit" comes from them.

Someone should have informed my grandmother and all her old friends of this fact, since they were evidently confused.

And?

  1. This is a few individuals. These individuals are old and thus in the group that is most religious. In another response in this thread I linked a study by Levada showing that for most Russians, religion is either minimally important or not a part of their life at all.
  2. Fukur said we will never be free from homophobia until everyone rejects religion.

I am tried of pulling teeth with you. Make your case

[–] rambling_lunatic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I did. In another comment in this thread, I put in the effort of writing a multi-paragraph comment with citations.
