You came to proselytize. They asked if you love them. Now, show this person a meaningful sacrifice.

    Hey mate, I don’t want to step on your toes, but what meaningful sacrifice can one anonymous person make for another on a platform like Lemmy? I get where you’re coming from; pretty words are meaningless unless they’re backed up with action, but what action could this person actually take that would meet the definition of ‘sacrifice’?

    Just as an aside, love doesn’t always have to include sacrifice. I love my fellow LGBTQIA+ comrades and it doesn’t cost me anything to do so. I love my friends, and they don’t ever demand sacrifice from me. I love my hobbies, and they give me strength and energy. Love can give and bring you strength, if you let it.

    I would suggest reading the parable of the widow's mote.

    It's not my duty to solve the Christian's problem. Their book teaches that love is sacrifice and that they recruit in love. If this one doesn't know how to sacrifice for another because they're online then their own text suggests they find another way to recruit.

    If the one found a way to love the other, if they're true to their faith, then we will likely never know.
