Flagged for Hate for Merely Quoting the Bible

George Janko is a christian podcaster. A redditor posted the following (profanity censored):

>George Janko clearly homophobic \_\_\_

>At minute 26.05 on the latest pod he says it a number of times that being gay is a sin.

>I can see why Logan fell out with the homophobic \_\_\_.

I commented "To be fair..." and quoted the following verses with citations: Leviticus 18:22, Leviticus 20:13, Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:9–10.

I said nothing more. It was flagged as hate by reddit and I've received an official warning because I "[promoted identity-based hate or attacks](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045715951)".

Be careful out there.

edit: the post in question has a bot comment about the age of my account. That is not what I'm referring to. I received the following message from reddit:

Hi Striking\_Credit5088,

Reddit is a vast network of communities that are created, run, and populated by people like you. In order to keep communities welcoming, safe, and great places to be, everyone who uses the platform operates by a shared set of rules—a set of rules you may not have realized you broke.

**Warning for hate**

We flagged the following as a potential policy violation:

* [Content shared from Striking\_Credit5088 on 11/26/2024 UTC](https://www.reddit.com/r/h3h3productions/comments/1d4spg1/comment/lz3099c)

After reviewing, we found that you broke [Rule 1](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy) because you [promoted identity-based hate or attacks](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045715951). Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. We don’t tolerate promoting hate based on identity or vulnerability, and any communities or people that encourage or incite violence or hate towards marginalized or vulnerable groups will be banned.

As a result, we’re issuing this warning, removing the violating content, and asking you not to break this rule again.

Reddit and its communities are only what we make of them together, and we want you to continue enjoying Reddit while helping your fellow redditors and communities stay safe. We suggest reading and getting acquainted with [Reddit’s Content Policy](https://www.redditinc.com/policies/content-policy). A better understanding of these rules will help you avoid further actions from our admin team. If you do continue to break Reddit’s rules through this or any other Reddit account, you may face additional actions such as three-day, seven-day, or permanent bans.

If you feel like you didn’t break the rules, you can file an appeal any time within the next six months and we’ll take a second look.

If you live in the European Union, you can also [contact a settlement body](https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/articles/23512591656212) to dispute the decision. You may also have the right to have this decision reviewed by a competent court under the applicable laws of your country.
