From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What's wrong is that we're on the Fediverse and many here write off Brave because the founder is "homophobic" because he's a conservative Christian. Sure, they make up all sorts of shallow justifications like "it's a crypto scam" but it definitely boils down to the "homophobic" whining.
Found Brendan Eich's sockpuppet :)
A conservative can't be a Christian, and vice versa. Jesus was absolutely clear: He cares as much about the sex of who you sleep with as He does about the fabric of your underwear. Hatred is never justified.
Homophobia is a plenty good reason not to use a browser. Eich is an unscrupulous person at best, and his name leaves a stink on any project he is involved with. Unsurprising that Brave has decided to embrace the crypto fad and is moving towards becoming an ad platform.
Brave is a scammy project founded by a scummy person. I'm not sure FOSS development can fix that as long as he is in charge.
Read the Bible. Even the apostle Paul reiterates that it's sinful.
As I said before, it all comes down to the "homophobia" argument. No good reasons, just a hatred of its founder. Pretty sad, if you ask me.
To take that passage (Romans 1) and to interpret it to mean that Homosexuality should be persecuted is to ignore Jesus' lessons in favor of one's own hatred. That's not Christian at all. It also ignores the rest of Romans.
Again, read the Bible. That's all I'll say because it's obvious to me that you've probably only read scraps through third parties within the context of progressive "Christianity".
You've got me wrong, but do what you think is best.
A comprehensive reading involves slowing down and taking context into account. It was included for a reason.
God, I hate Paul. He seems to be the source of most of the shitty things in Christianity.
All Scripture is God-breathed. Take it up with Him.
Actually I think they had a kind of committee to decide what was "scripture" and what wasn't.
Did you seriously just do the Ackchyually meme?
Lol, imagine thinking any of that half-baked fanfic was real.
I'll never understand why this cult-like shit is accepted in the mainstream. Where is some tangible, irrefutable evidence that your god exists?
There are boatloads of things that we don't have tangible, irrefutable evidence for, yet we believe in. It's called faith. You have faith in things, you just don't want to admit it. And just because I have faith in things that you don't doesn't mean that I don't have the right to have that faith.
I have trust in people and things based on experiences I've had and the people I trust have had but blind faith? No, I don't think I do have that because that's fucking stupid.
You really do, you just don't want to admit it. It's okay, you don't have to be angry at God. Just let go.
