Religious people scare me. They’re willing to end the world because it would mean the “coming of Jeebus”. Same with muslims, they believe that their Messiah comes back when the world ends. So, they have no problem ending it.

Religion is the problem, not a specific variation of religion.

I kind of disagree with that. Buddhism comes to mind. Peganism is kind of nice. Shamanism is an interesting thing.

Dunno… I hate the major dogmas as much as anyone, but it seems like there’s some niche things out there that value spirituality over conquest.

Don’t confuse the Disneyfied, PC version of a religion for what the religion does in practice.

Irrational beliefs are dangerous.

It’s happening in Canada and it sucks. American companies have acquired a large swaths of the Canadian news landscape and the radicalization of rural Alberta/etc. is happening at a terrifying rate.

As a someone working in a library here in Australia, this plague has spread this far and we’ve seen a very large increase in the number of ‘complaints’ and threats to staff

I firmly believe this is one of the possible solutions. Just labeling them as religious doesn’t help, as not all Christians feel this way.

Last I checked, Jesus taught love and acceptance. He hung out with people in poverty making hard choices.

I’m not religious. But this is exactly the stuff that caused me to avoid the church.

That is cleaned up version. Not the Jesus of Paul or the Gospels.

I agree, don’t want to paint them all with a broad brush. It’s just so many don’t follow the pretty plain and simple lessons he was supposed to have taught

The religious right are a hateful bunch. It is fantastic that every year there are fewer and fewer of them.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

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.

  • 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.
