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!

Christian groups want to persecute everyone. Projection at its finest.
Only some Christians. I don't recall the Quakers ever having persecuted anyone. And the various Anabaptist spin-offs don't persecute anyone but themselves.
It's the ones with power that get up to evil shit.
Not on Earth, of course. But when you add up all the persecuted Christians orbiting Alpha Centauri and Romulus and Omicron Persei Eight...
Why does Christianity, the largest religion, not simply eat the other religions?
They've tried
I hope our thoughts and prayers reach those Christians on Alpha Centauri, Romulus and Omicron Persei Eight in time.
Where was she in 2017 when white supremacists firebombed that mosque in Minneapolis? How about it being legal to forbid Jews from enrolling at medical schools in Minnesota until the 1950s?
Maybe your god could do something about that. Funny that he chooses not to.
Consider that the whole universe might not have been made for you, then.
They have a whole belief system and a sacred book that tells them otherwise.
So persecuted that we get days off work and school based on their calendar
Do we know Christians that live on other planets?
I thought Mormons get their own planet, but other xtians don't consider LDS "real" xtians, LOL, so there is that.
Seems like that's God's will then.
Thoughts and prayers shall help, right?
Edit: also, now is not the time for political action, we need at least 50 days from the last shooting, I think.
Neopagans, Zoroastrians, Jews, Middle Eastern Bahá’ís, Muslims outside the Middle East, followers of indigenous religions, Sikhs:
How many religions and cultures has 'christ'ianity wiped out again?
I'd tell them to get fucked, but they already probably have been, nonconsenually, by one of their religious 'leaders'.
So persecuted that they managed to colonize every continent and force their religious laws on people who were there first
Not persecuted enough for all the bullshit and self-righteousness they've caused
oh. sure sure. of course. and their most perfect adherents like donald trump have suffered the biggest witch hunts in all of history. So sick of all those other religions doing the witch hunts on the good christian men whose virtue is beyond reproach no matter how many times they went to pedo peninsula or just straight out talked about it during interviews in their life. epstein files. epstein files.
They're about to be
The universe is pretty big. Robin shot up that church school (armchair psychology) because religion and the religulous told her that she was an abomination and not welcome. Then tRump's go'ment did the same. I'm sure her peers did the same. Then without mental health access and weak gun laws and a thirst for revenge - then the MAGAts blame DEI.
Oh boy nazis are gonna love this news
If only saying it could make it so.
LOL, soooo persecuted.
What about scientologists? Xenu's influence is far and wide!
Scientologists have an entire Galactic Empire oppressing them. Like I think they win.
Pedro is disappointed.
She’s piece of shit.
It’s kind of true. Look the deportations, they are getting mostly people from Christian countries like Mexico for instance. There is an attack on a Christians it seems
I wonder if this is how she felt when the Charleston church got shot up. Was that about "persecuting Christians", too?
Its not a religion. But the irrelegious, atheist and agnostic od the world are probably the largest most persecuted group. Fundamentalist Abrahamic relgions (sects of Christians. Muslims. Jews . Etc) view no religion as blasphemy
Its not a religion.
I like to think of it as the null religion.
