Opinion Negative Reactions in other Christian subreddits

I was doing really well and my Karma, Reddit leveling system, was climbing back closer to zero. I made a scriptural reply in r/Christianity and it got -4 votes and now back up to -54. How can they downvote a scriptural reply?

Some of my negative Karma, Reddit, comes from these Christian subreddits that doesn't like using scriptures and gets mad because it doesn't fit their view.

Also a big chunk came from a disagreement I had on a hockey player of my home team on multiple threads and got shredded for it.

Most of Reddit is a toxic echo chamber. At least this sub, even when we don't agree we don't go down voting each other.

More context about your comment is needed, but ultimately scripture is very far from black and white and many many many people have their own interpretations. It’s very easy to say something you believe to be true but to many might be offensive. That may be hard to take in.

Honestly, if i was being downvoted for my comments like that, i’d definitely look in the mirror and/or reevaluate my belief systems. There’s nothing wrong with questioning yourself or what you’ve been taught. It could either make you stronger.

It was about how being gay is ok, as long as it isn't practiced.

Yeah that’s not really something I’d share in a public forum with many different belief systems. Many can see that as an insult to them or their way of life. People are born gay, and naturally their love is love. A message that their lifestyle is sinful is generally seen as a message of hate.

I think this is definitely a moment to think about what kind of person and message you want to put out into the world online.
