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!

While I generally don't care about religion, I do care when it is taking over my country. To deny them their Christianity by defining them out of it? That's a pretty no true scottsman style argument I cannot get behind. Also, weren't Paul's epsistles written before any of the gospels? Some of them by like... An additional 40 years after the first gospel was written, which itself was written 40 years after the death of the purported Christ?
Jesus "says" some interesting shit, but so do a lot of religious leaders. There's also a bunch of magic lumped in there (did you know Jesus used to be depicted with a wand in early Christian artwork?) We don't know who wrote any of the gospels, only their attributions. What we do have are the practical correspondences between early Christians. And by your standards, even those people might not have been Christians.
And unconditional love is all well and good, until you have to live in the real world. If your fucking with people that did nothing wrong, your gonna get fucked up, I'm not waiting for some imaginary god to let you roast for eternity, I'm going to do what I can now to stand up for those around me.
