No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Too cool for God.
the bible says satan causes illness but then god causes the firstborn to die, causes plagues, and so on.
the bible says god is good but god is a judgemental ass, who raped a woman and impregnated her, and who forces suffering onto people. while satan welcomes all who come to his realm, to better themselves.
satan's the real protagonist, not god. and the bible is so self contradictory that science alone holds the answers.
edit: likewise, if you look at greek mythology, Hades is actually pretty chill compared to the rest. He still abducts Persephone to make her his wife, but he treats her decently and lets her visit family and friends. Can't say that about Zeus, who gets angry randomly and fucks anything, regardless of whether it's moving
God is an absentee landlord and Lucifer is a fan of man
I prefer some of the Gnostic interpretations of Lucifer, or Satan, where he attempts to introduce knowledge (gnosis) to Adam and Eve by way of the forbidden Fruit of Knowledge in an effort to 'awaken' them. Meanwhile, God the evil Demiurge does not want Adam and Eve to truly know what lies beyond Him, forcing Satan out.
God is the real evil! Satan doesn't rule hell, God does. Even more contradictions!
"Spread love and love thy neighbor...NOW BURN IN HELL!!"
Yeah, why does God have to be judgemental, mannn.... It's not like people do horrific things like enslaving (what God punished the egyptians for after literally 9 warnings) genocide, rape(a sin of Sodom and Gomorrah) cause illness or hoard money. /s
Also, Mary did literally consent and then praised God.
Luke 1:35, 38
Luke 1:46-49
Also
Didn't god create rape, genocide, disease, etc... by definition? Or he can't do anything about that?
Also I'm not sure if a teenage girl can consent when it's the god of the universe. Pretty wild power dynamics there.
The "teenage" part isn't biblical either. And she clearly did. God wouldn't have chosen someone who was unwilling.
God will destroy these evils - but you call that "judgy"
The folly of trying to have your cake and eat it
