It's interesting to read a HN thread regarding theology. It seems there is quite an interest in the topic, and affirms another thing I tend to see: That many in this field identify as a Christian but don't really seem interested in saying so unless it's in a thread which expressly mentions it. Maybe it's my own bias and I'm just viewing it that way, as a Christian myself, as it feels hard to talk about it within the tech sphere with nuance and empathy.

Wouldn't it just be off-topic in other threads though? It's not a surprise it doesn't come up when it's not the subject of a given conversation. I have all sorts of interests that I don't tend to bring up until there's a conversation specifically about them.
- ketzo 6y agoCultural Christianity versus theistic Christianity in action. Anecdotal, but many, many more people had to go to church as kids than actively believe today. The problem is that this leads to people who feel entitled to a space in the conversation (because it was part of their upbringing), but bring very little love or understanding to it. (And I say this as someone who was raised in the Church and left it pretty early on).
