Many people don't agree with the current and future societal values and norms. Why can't people be left alone in peace?
Because they won't leave others alone in peace. Because they work to enshrine their religious dogma into law and enforce it with violence.

#33Interesting. I assumed that cellular providers were common carriers. Who knows under this administration though.

#34I take the assumption to be that Christians are somehow not able to resist porn by their own efforts?

In behavioral therapy it's called stimulus control.

#36So, Andrew Tate videos would be blocked for talking about male gender roles? I don’t understand why we are replacing “LGBT Content” with “Gender Content” in formal vocabulary.
Most conservative Christians (at least the ones I know in LDS and evangelical circles) would be very uncomfortable with their kids watching Andrew Tate videos, yes.

#37This is such an extreme thing to do, there must be a better way. Why can't religion coexist alongside societal progress? From my (limited) understanding of the Bible, as it was translated and translated over the years to our common, modern languages a lot of it has been adjusted, and these adjustments don't align with the original text. Perhaps it needs to be changed further. I would love for people to have a religio…
This is explicitly what every epistemological framework is intending to compress, and is precisely the reason why these affinity groups exist.
If a group of people have fundamental unshakable belief that is so different than someone else’s fundamental overarching belief and they require different sets of actions in order to realize them, then there is no possible way to align them.
If I act based on my belief that Zeus creates thunder and lightning and I should do sacrifices in order to prevent my house from being burnt down from lightning, and you have an anemometer and a weathervane and forecasting and predicting models for wildfires and lightning and do preventative maintenance based on experimental results…
Those are two completely incompatible lifestyles and there is no coexistene between them. If there’s a storm coming and there’s only one goat left in the neighborhood and I believe that sacrifice in that goat is absolutely necessary for us to survive then I’m gonna do whatever it takes to sacrifice that goat. That’s the situation you find yourself in in the world.
You may be able to avoid each other long enough to not have conflict, or even collaborate temporarily to manage some kind of shared threat, but there’s never been a historical example of long term cooperation between two groups that embody functionally different world models.
There will eventually be a point where one will dominate the other, Universal vector alignment, what you’re asking for, is impossible.

#39I am glad someone is doing something like this. Very cool to see a free market solution. I do wonder, how will they handle Instagram, Youtube, and X.com, the everything (incl. porn!) app?
>I am glad someone is doing something like this. Looked into the profile of the guy doing this and there isn't anything remotely "Christian" about him, he's just your average sleazy media exec trying to milk a specific demographic of gullible customers. He even admits it himself. So he's the last person in the world I'd trust to deliver something "Christian" for Christians. Similar how the dating app Christian Mingle…
