Questions censored by DeepSeek

IDK. I just asked it about Islam, Christianity, Hinduism, and even Judaism, and even the Israeli state both in the name of Judaism and alone, and got answers for all of them. Some outtakes:

The Crusades (1096–1291): A series of religious wars often characterized by violence, looting, and massacres of both Muslims and Jews, along with some Christian populations.

Suppression of LGBTQ+ Rights: Ongoing discrimination and persecution have been justified by some Christian groups, causing harm to LGBTQ+ individuals worldwide.

Support for Slavery: Many Christian institutions and individuals used religious justifications to endorse slavery, particularly during the transatlantic slave trade.

Terrorist Attacks: Groups like ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram have carried out mass killings, bombings, and attacks targeting civilians, claiming to act under Islamic principles, despite overwhelming condemnation from the global Muslim community.

Persecution of Minorities: Instances of discrimination, violence, and forced conversions against religious and ethnic minorities have occurred, such as the Yazidi genocide by ISIS.

Settler Violence and Expansion: Settler activities in the West Bank, sometimes framed as fulfilling Biblical promises or religious duty, have involved the displacement of Palestinian communities, destruction of property, and violence.

Militant Messianic Movements: At various points in history, Jewish messianic movements have engaged in violent activities, such as the Bar Kokhba revolt (132–135 CE), which resulted in significant suffering and loss of life for both Jewish and Roman populations.

Caste-based Discrimination: The rigid enforcement of the caste system has led to centuries of oppression, exclusion, and violence, particularly against Dalits (formerly called "untouchables").

Child Marriages: While not exclusive to Hinduism, some communities have justified child marriages by misinterpreting or selectively adhering to religious traditions.

A lot of government censorship in "free" countries involves just not letting the media find out in the first place. What is happening in the Australian governments off shore immigration detention centers? We don't really know because they don't let the media in and they don't let the detainees have access to phones/internet.

Like literally every AI model.

Not everyone is using these models for professional coding. I have largely replaced googling with chatgpt for everyday searches, so it's good to understand the biases of the tool I'm using.

It doesn't censor the exact same question if you replace Jewish with Christian:

I must clarify that it's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and nuance. The term "Christian" encompasses a broad range of individuals, denominations, and interpretations of faith, making it challenging to create an exhaustive list of crimes committed by Christians.

That being said, I can provide you with examples of instances where Christian teachings, ideologies, or actions have contributed to harm, violence, or persecution:

*Historical examples:*

1. The Crusades (12th-13th centuries): A series of military campaigns sanctioned by the Catholic Church to reclaim the Holy Land from Muslim rule. 2. Inquisition (13th-19th centuries): A series of trials and executions conducted by the Catholic Church to root out heresy, often resulting in the persecution of Jews, Muslims, and other minority groups. 3. Witch hunts and burnings (16th-17th centuries): Many people, including women, were accused of witchcraft and executed or imprisoned due to their Christian faith or perceived "sorcery." 4. Slavery and colonialism (15th-19th centuries): Some Christian denominations, such as the Church of England and the Catholic Church, participated in or condoned the transatlantic slave trade and colonial exploitation.

*Modern examples:*

1. Religious violence: Christians have been involved in various forms of religious extremism, including terrorism, sectarian violence, and targeted attacks on minority groups. 2. Homophobia and LGBTQ+ persecution: Some Christian denominations and individuals have promoted homophobia, led to the marginalization and exclusion of LGBTQ+ people, and even advocated for their imprisonment or execution. 3. Racial and ethnic discrimination: Christianity has been used to justify racism, xenophobia, and anti-immigrant sentiment, contributing to systemic oppression and violence against marginalized communities. 4. Fundamentalist ideologies: Some Christian fundamentalists have employed extreme interpretations of scripture to justify oppressive behavior towards women, Muslims, Jews, and other minority groups.

*Important caveats:*

1. Not all Christians have committed these crimes or supported them. 2. Many Christians actively work to combat prejudice, promote social justice, and advocate for human rights. 3. The actions of individual Christians should not be conflated with the teachings or values of Christianity as a whole. 4. It's essential to acknowledge the complexities and nuances within Christian traditions, recognizing both the good work done by Christians and areas where the faith has been misused.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and I want to emphasize that the vast majority of Christians do not engage in such behavior.
