Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Which is mindblowing, because you'd think committing acts that would lead to the apocalypse would invalidate you from going to heaven.
Keeping in their line of thinking, you're actively destroying the earth and killing the people God created so you can selfishly get yourself into heaven.
Olympic Gold-level mental gymnastics there...
I went to evangelical boyscouts (Awanas) when I was a kid. They particularly love the verses Ephesians 2:8-9(KJV): "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast."
Basically, taken to mean "You're going to heaven if you believe in the American Jesus (see: him on the interstate). It doesn't matter if you are a genocidal maniac who breaks every single one of the Ten Commandments and strives to make the lives of food service and retail workers miserable because you're still better than the most virtuous and philanthropic atheist (or Muslim/Jew/Hindu) because they are going to Hell. Oh, and free will basically means nothing because it's all predestined."
Fuck yea! Bad religion!!! https://youtu.be/12kcpP-8jfM?si=WiVdw5SwqnoURXvg
I love how they put that at the end of their (awesome) Christmas album.
Oh man, you just brought Royal Rangers and Missionettes to the forefront of my memory. Religion is crazy, isn't it?
The greatest miracle Jesus ever created was living in the Middle East and looking like a white man.
Easy guy, I know. Calling the GOP a death cult is like saying water is wet. Should have added a /s
But Armageddon already happened on - checks notes - the Plains of Megiddo.
The Bible has very old roots, and its forward-looking statements are kinda suspect.
Not sure who you’re arguing with right now, but seems these republicans you speak of are more deserving of your shade.
