politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

This is great. But for the die hard pro lifers they would simply say "well the baby died because of your actions. If God wanted you to die with it, you should have"
They are the worst.
Sometimes, I imagine if there was a power like the marvel infinity crystals snap your finger thing, that I'd wish away these people. The fanatics.
But really if you don't get rid of them all, or get rid of the concept of religion entirely, it'd just come back.
But I imagine, if such a power existed, and I used it to wipe them from the known galactic existence, that it must be God's will if I can and if God wanted you to exist and worship him I'd never have been able to wield such power.
Even though I'm not a Christian I wish they were right about The Rapture because then we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.
Would it come back though if you got rid of the concept of religion and the fanatics? Wouldn't the only people left be opposed to religion or just not participate and thus nobody would revive it?
I meant if I only got rid of fanatics.
New fanatics can arise on their own.
It'd have to be the concept of religion and all believers
Ah yes must have misread your comment. Completely agree that removing all fanatics is just temporary.
I think my OP could have been better worded. That's not all on you
