Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

From Abraham's first hallucinations that the god El promising him the Levant, to Moses admitting that a demon Yahweh impersonated El to fill Abraham's head with such warmongering delusions, to King David's victory took 1700 years. No matter how passionate your belief in every schitzos voices in their head's call for war, when it takes that long to gain control, coincidence rather than divine power to make things/miracles happen, becomes a better argument than the existence of either divine intervention at all, or of a chosen people.
Christianity, turned back into Divine right of Kings in first millenium. Criminal heresy to suggest that Jesus's humanist points should ever contradict Empire's warmongering or authoritarianism. That military hierarchy would rely on Old testament demonism is tradition that gives them more power.
The only possible interpretation of Jesus defeating the forces of evil, is that the evil side is the Epstein warmongering regime. The punch line, is that demonic Abrahamic supremacists are converted to Jesus in the end, and so military should interpret this order as attacking Israel and their corrupt hierarchy.
Oooh, I'm not familiar with this lore - where it's from?
Remember kids, if you're pro-King, you're pro-Christianity!
exodus 6:3 (moses narrative) Yahweh tells Moses that even though Abraham thought his commandments were coming from El, that it was secretly Yahweh impersonating El.
Abraham, like other tribes/cities in Levant, believed in El. But he didn't believe in the polytheist 70 sons and pantheon of El. Yahweh was one of these sons. Bible has no story of a coup against El by Yahweh, just that Yahweh is transported to the father role, and is Jealous of his mother, but due to teleportation to throne, now his wife, Asherah. Under David, Yahweh sentences the 70 sons to death.
