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. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating 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 10/19
-
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.

American Christianity is a death cult straight out of a Dungeons and Dragons campaign as the transparently evil bad guys. They should not be allowed to steer modern society in any way.
seriously, as long as believing in gods and shit isn't seen as the mental disorder it is in the whole world, humanity will never drag itself out this swamp of stupidity we are currently in.
...that was a significant theme in 2061: oddysey three...
I don’t care if heaven exists, but people like this really make me hope there’s a Hell.
Hey, take that back! No fictional demon, devil, or yugoloth can ever be as evil as humans like these.
Mr President, God spared you in Butler, PA to be the most consequential President in a century—maybe ever. The decisions on your shoulders I would not want to be made by anyone else. You have many voices speaking to you Sir, but there is only ONE voice that matters. HIS voice. I am your appointed servant in this land and am available for you but I do not try to get in your presence often because I trust your instincts. No President in my lifetime has been in a position like yours. Not since Truman in 1945. I don’t reach out to persuade you. Only to encourage you. I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or ANYONE else’s. You sent me to Israel to be your eyes, ears and voice and to make sure our flag flies above our embassy. My job is to be the last one to leave.
I will not abandon this post. Our flag will NOT come down! You did not seek this moment. This moment sought YOU! It is my honor to serve you!
That is some weird shit.
These idiots projecting their religion onto a man who regularly makes fun of their religion is pretty weird by its self but mike is getting extra weird
I wonder if he's one of those believers that the destruction of Israel will usher in the end times and Jesus' return to earth and has the biggest boner right now over escalating this conflict.
I'm pretty sure he is. The weirder thing is I'm pretty sure he knows trying to bring about the rapture of one's own will is a one way ticket strait down.
I don’t think they do actually. Most of the super religious people in my family are Southern Baptist, they all firmly believe that they have a duty to spread the word of god because everybody living has to have been given the option to accept Jesus before the rapture can happen.
They are seriously a death cult who seriously want the rapture to happen and seriously believe they have a part in making it happen.
It's the act of trying to make it come on your schedule. Doesn't matter to mcchristians but no one is supposed to know when it would happen. Also runs afowl of putting ones own judgment above god but that's a borderline scholarly argument these people don't have the capacity to consider
You know, I didn't think this was WW3 yet. I thought this was going to escalate proxy wars and spread fear across the globe at a scale we haven't seen since the height of the Cold War, but... the President just quoted an Ambassador in Jerusalem asking for a thermonuclear World War in God's name.
The New Crusades was not on my bingo list.
It was on mine, unfortunately....

Ah fuck, why am I not even surprised?
What the actual fuck is this? One of those weird af exorcisms?
I think this one is an inorcism
"Hey Satan, mind hopping in there real quick and sorting that shit out?"
I think we'd definitely be better off with Satan in charge.
what a brilliant word, i am absolutely gonna steal that <3
Idolatry, except we didn’t get a badass scene of Moses being pissed off.
They’re doing some sort of prayer, I’d guess something along the lines of “God let this man be your vessel to help achieve the glory of the kingdom of heaven on earth”
You know, kind of like asking a wolf to bring about a vegan paradise on earth
It's not a fuck, he's taking a huge dump on America.
No, he is exposing America for what it has always been. What he is doing to the interior of the empire is what this country has been doing to the global south for over a century.
America has never been the "Good Guy"™ willingly.
I hope I'll live long enough to see the world utopia brought about by the self-collapse of the US 😬
I will just be happy knowing that the American hegemony is ending even if I never get to see what comes after.
The old saying "plant trees whose shade you know you'll never get to sit"
Humans have been cutting each others' trees for millenia, but I like your optimism.
They have for much longer and more consistently shared the fruits of those trees when they aren't being manipulated by social forces that condition them to compete with each other for readily available resources.
Humans are a communal species by nature. We only need to encourage that nature instead of continuing to allow a small subsection of the population to abuse it.

What about the two democrats who survived being shot half a dozen or more times each by that wannabe preacher in Minnesota (not Michigan). Are they also blessed by God's divine hands? How does that track to Republicans i wonder.

That there is that annoying 'truth' thing they have done away with. Without it its all 'just your opinion man' and the one who shouts their opinion loudest wins.
Known dominionist doing extremist shit; once all the Muslims are gone the Christians are supposed to kill the Jews. Then Jesus returns. These people actually believe this and will use it as their justification to drag us all down with them.
Trump couldn't recite the first 5 words of the Lord's Prayer without a prompter.
I'm not sure he could do it with a teleprompter.
He'd have to "weave" into the parts that Putin, Obama, and Hannibal play part in the prayer
…without erupting in flames!
I'd love to see him try. He'd be off script within the first 10 seconds.
Our Father, which art...
...uh...
...which art should we cut funding for next?
God save us from his followers.
Jesus fucking Christ
That sounds like it was written by AI right? I would love to know the what the prompt was.
This timeline is absolutely wild.
I keep on hoping to wake up in an alternate timeline.
ok captain relaxium.
Genocide Jesus bout to get down
Sometimes I wish Hell actually was real, just so I could see the looks on the faces of all the "Christians" that end up there with me.
Huckabee, you got a little ... right on your ... no the other side. Yeah, it's some orange jizz dripping down there, make sure you slurp it all up.
I bet Mike Huckabee had tears in his eyes as he typed that out.
