A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

I've been saying for a while now that the biggest threat facing humanity isn't climate change but religion. By far.
Capitalism is the sword, religion is the shield. Climate change is the consequence.
The fucking MAGA clowns, their Jewish allies and their Islamic opponents share a lot in fucking common. All of them are religious nutters and should NOT be involved in politics and the military.
The scary thing is not just that commanders are saying this, but what an extreme outlier the citizens of the USA are when it comes to not being able to differentiate between reality and fairy-tales: https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2015/0316/Do-countries-become-less-religious-as-they-get-richer
Even when the specific fairy-tales oppose these actions: quotes from Jesus according to the gospels:
"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you," Luke 6:27
What the akshuall phuk
what the actual fuck?
This is what Evangelicals actually believe.
Trump's been groomed by the Heritage Foundation to be America's perfect president, the Antichrist. He followed orders and fulfilled all the prophecies so we should all believe in Jesus Christ's return, in the form of AI.
This is what the billionaires are doing with their money. No doubt the revolutionary AI religious emperor of the world won't be AGI but something convincing enough and controlled by them.
Pretty sure being that stupid should prevent you from any job other than jizz mop
And they are definitely not on the side of god.
What the actual fuck?

Religious people are so easy to manipulate lol
How they don't see it, when their "pastors" are driving Porsches and living in manions while telling you if you don't skip a meal so that you can donate to the church you're gonna go to hell... it's beyond me.
We had a babysitter whose husband was a pastor and would always talk about being scared for our souls. In her eyes, being a good person and having a private relationship with God was inadequate to avoid going to hell. She truly felt that church attendance and renouncing other religions was the only path to salvation - belief, prayer, and following the teachings of Jesus would be inadequate.
Now I can’t claim to know what God wants. But I can’t see how paying the church and excluding people with different belief systems outweighs kindness.

It's hilarious that these offshoots of Protestantism basically went so deep into the sauce that they became Catholics again. Martin Luther spinning in his grave.
God has a tendency to want whatever the politically powerful people in whatever religion do, for some reason.
Can we just launch all the nukes and get it over with already? That’s how this all ends, we already know that, we aren’t going to become better at being people, things are not going to improve. It would be the path of least suffering, at this point.
Yea, this is gonna be the big one. I can feel it in my bones.
we aren’t going to become better at being people, things are not going to improve.
Strongly disagree. Don't lose hope.
I doubt people are going to change, short of becoming cyborgs or genetically engineered or something. Things already have, though.
Hope is precisely what landed us in this mess. Reason, pragmatism, and being willing to compromise on ideals is what will get us out, but guess what humans have never shown the capability nor the desire to do as a species throughout literally all of documented human civilization? All we do is escalate, it’s all we’ve ever done, and it has only one possible way of ending. We burned down the first society the moment we made up organized religion, that has been the template ever since. Society is global now, destroying it this time around isn’t something that even the atmosphere will survive.
Ah great just another so-called holy war
I wonder if the first one were fought for the pedophiles as well
American Djihad
If god is all powerful, why does he need any amount of humans to do shit for him? Do it yourself, you omnilazy bastard.
fuckin' actual HUH-WHAT now'zzles ?? :P
"Any military members seeking to take advantage of their subordinates by advancing their blood-soaked, Christian nationalist wet dreams upon the flames of this latest non-Congressionally sanctioned attack against Iran, should be swiftly, aggressively and visibly prosecuted.”
Holy Wars... The Punishment Due
