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!

disagreement with one’s biological sex, is sinful and offensive to God

"Intersex people don't exist. Stop making up words. If a baby has multiple sex charistics then OF COURSE surgical intervention is needed to force a binary choice. God doesn't make mistakes, but sometimes he does a whoopsie."

These people refuse to understand human biology because their goddamn Bible has already told them everything they want to know. Yet they have the gall to laughingly repeat "iT's bAsiC BiolOgY" without a clue to their ignorance.

I'm pretty sure they haven't even read the Bible at this point.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reading and comprehension are two different things. They have likely read the bible. If they believe in hell and quote Leviticus as though it represents Christian law then they have failed to comprend it.

They had their stories preached to them by their pastor, they haven't read shit. 54% of American adults read below a 6th grade comprehension level. These people operate on their own fan fiction and head canon.

Geez, that link is damning.

God doesn't make mistakes, but sometimes he does a whoopsie.

They think this sounds quippy like they're in a sitcom, whereas really they sound like an under-educated five year old

God doesn't shit, but sometimes he does a poo poo.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I want so badly what they mean by woopsie. Like....if God is capable of an woopsie, then he is not infallible.

So....is he God or not?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If God is infallible we'd all believe in him, ipso facto, he doesn't exist.

I can't tell if that intersex quote is real or not.

The crazy has become so normal i can't be sure.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I actually doubt the Bible goes into gender identity. It’s all pure bigotry.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It doesn't but Jesus does he's pretty clear he says

'be fuckin nice to people you shit heads"

i may be paraphrasing but that is what he's trying to get across

literally we gotta take him back tbh

dude was a highly sarcastic political activist who was mocking the roman emperor and got killed for it.

when he said drink my blood, eat my flesh. dude was tongue in cheek mocking the cults at the time being so dramatic and also embracing this identity that Jewish people are evil and use curses and blood magic shit.

His mom was next level. Gets drunk, fucks around, gets pregnant. She tells people that the kid is actually the son of a god and people eat that shit right up. Joseph though.. That poor guy had to be in some serious denial. That dude was probably like Charlie from Me, Myself & Irene.

I don't remember it being prominent but there are a shitload of bizarre rules.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

“If your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away.”

If masturbation is a sin, there should be a fuck ton of one handed christians out there.... Just sayin'.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If they are going to believe in a god but then deny, abuse and destroy nature, which could only be thought of as their god's expression in physical form, doesn't that make these people blasphemous heretics by their own definition? Unfortunately, these "religious" fucks are just liars who in reality think they know better than whatever god they act like they believe in. They'll abuse and destroy anything in their path because to them noone and nothing has actual value. The only important thing to them is their own imagined version of the divine.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

People seem to think religious people do things because their religion demands them. That is not how this works.

Their id demands it. Their ego demands it. Then in the cold light of morning. They had to do it. For God.
