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.

Pope is really out of touch on this.
That’s the polite way of putting it.
Pretty sure anyone with half a brain and not straight up owned by Putin realizes that surrender is not an option- it just lets them regroup for another push in 5-10 years.
So. The pope either has the intellectual capacity of a petrified vegetable or is now shilling for Putin.
On everything. He's an antiquated old bigot who was an idiot long before he was made the head of the church PR phase. All his platitudes and nice talking points are all manufactured
Idiot... and total asshole, also. Someone posted the Wikipedia link and I read up. Yuck.
With modern society, yeah.
But no one hates every other Abrhamic religion more than the leader of one them.
And Islam is the biggest one. Judaism isn't a threat to replace any form of Christianity, they don't have the numbers.
But there's about the same amount of Christians and Muslims in the world. For about 1300 years Christian leaders have been trying to stop Islam from becoming the majority.
That's the most important thing in Abrhamic religions: doing what it takes to be the majority.
The Bible even says if a family member ever doubts Jesus, you're to kill them immediately to prevent them from convincing others.
Which is a throw back to a schizophrenic guy named Abraham killing his family because they doubted the voices Abraham heard in his head.
All this shit traces back to some random crazy guy that demanded his family do exactly what he says without question. It's like the one part that never changes
I'm gonna request citations on these two.
Pass the popcorn mate, we could be a while.
Talk about being confidently incorrect.
Wow, I'm usually criticizing people for saying they read the Bible when they clearly didn't, but this is the most blatantly, absurdly untrue one that I can remember.
And like, it's not like there isn't some weird shit in the Bible, or valid critiques of Abrahamic religions, but did this bro go for any of that? Nah, better to just make stuff up. Which is kinda ironic....
Indood. You'll always do a better job of criticizing something if you don't lie about it.
Wow. I'm an atheist and even I know that religious leaders tend to be extremely respectful of other faiths. They respect the holding of faith, even if it's not the one that they personally hold. They've spent their lives studying their religion and often find the history and relationships between different faiths fascinating.
Personally I think they're just studying myths, and it's no more productive than somebody studying Milton.
