Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Christian extremists in this country have rolled back a women's right to an abortion and are now working on eliminating no-fault divorce, but hey, you do you, bigot.

Whenever I see people defending one religion to disparage another I just see

“Constipation is better than diarrhea”

Can I have neither?

I have never and will never defend Christianity.

I agree. Christian evangelicals are extremists who want to control everything. They are shitty people. I have no problem saying that Your own personal stance against me is simply virtue signaling, but you do you. Your unwillingness to acknowledge that the Muslim world doesn’t care about you or anyone that disagrees with their doctrines is ignorant and cowardly. Religion is there to control all of us and that includes the Islamic world

Religion is a childhood disease for a sentient species.

Really hard to take your pivot to, "All religion is bad, actually," seriously when you explicitly brought up Muslims and continue to discuss Muslims as a monolith while breaking down Christians into subcategories like, "Evangelical," or,."right-wing." Why not just say, "the Christian world doesn’t care about you or anyone that disagrees with their doctrines?" Why continue to carefully parse your language to specify which Christian groups you consider bad, while making no distinctions between Muslims? Why is it that, of the three things in your post that I pointed out were incorrect and ill-informed, this is the only thing you want to argue about? (You don't actually have to answer. It's very obvious it's because you're a bigot.)

Boy you cannot let it go can you? Okay you’re right, gosh you are so right.

-Writes seven replies to three different users defending bigoted remarks about Muslims.-

"Boy, everyone else is really obsessed with Muslim stuff, huh?"
