I think that a shiny golden calf will always trick the good into becoming the bad. Trump splashing that gilded gold shit everywhere made him quite successful. /s

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

i have never heard of that. Which doesn't mean much as there are thousands of differet christian churches and they disagree on many things.
These aren’t christians. The money behind jesusism is absurd. I am beyond quite confident that there would be no appreciation in that camp. Aaaaaand the absolute last thing Jesus is gonna wanna do is see a fucking cross. Are you kidding me? The fuck is wrong with people.? A lotta sick fucks ot there for sure. I’m sure Jesus has better things to do than reminisce about 2,000 some years ago. I don’t think it was a pleasant experience if’n my history stands correct.
Those absolutely are. Just because they don’t fit into your made up subcategory of Christianity that you put yourself into does not mean that’s not what the majority of this religion cult is.
I don’t identify as Christian. I didn’t make up a sub category. If one does their research, one can understand how the merging of evangelical Christianity and the republican party has been fusing tighter & tighter together for over 50 years. Christian nationalism grew exponentially under Reagan in the 80’s. Unfortunately many of the non evangelical/ nationalist christians are too afraid to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to theological differences. I believe blanket statements about something as complex as religion as in the previous comment are indicators of a well groomed ignorant public. Wait a second. It’s a bot. Whatever.
Until they grow a pair and separate themselves from the cults they are a part of then yes they still are Christians and friends and enablers of pedos.
Religion is the largest source of ignorance and grooming that they blame on gay and trans people.
Sunday schools are grooming centres for the people in charge like Robert Morris
Oh look, it’s not a gay or trans person?!? It’s the church, again! What like the 700th time this year?!
How about you get off your knees and stop defending the pedos.
My username is a DBZA reference if you’re not just using your ignorance as an excuse like a good religious sheep.
I am not gonna argue with a bot. You are correct. I am a stupid ignorant fool. You win. Are you happy now? I really hope you are. Probably a neckbeard, someone with severe mental issues (perhaps well diagnosed). When one is is severely depressed and unhappy with themselves, they act out in ways that make them feel empowered no matter how sad and bitter they truly are. What a great forum to let it all out. I am so glad that you are enlightened. Is there anything else useful and necessary that you would like to share before I claim this as a W in my book? Seems like someone has some personal issues that haven’t been dealt with. I do hope you get the help you need to overcome such angry and hostile views. I wish you the best and hope you can see that I am a pariah because I am fool enough to believe in grace, hope & even redemption. I don’t support any religion at all. In fact, I am a devout Daoist. It is one of the most woo woo schools of thought out there. It was the Hippieish esoteric anti belief against Confuscius. Somewhat similar but coming from waaay different places. Anyhow, good luck with everything.
Bwahahaha lotta words for not arguing with a bot.
You devout nutjobs are so fucking far up your own ass, playing psychologist and calling people neck beards. How fucking original. Take your grace, hope and redemption and shove it with your woo woo bullshit back up into Narnia where that make believe nonsense belongs.
Please don’t procreate or vote. Thank you 😘

Churches still have bills to pay. Just because they are exempt from some taxes doesn't mean they are bills exempt.
When a neighbor was in the hospital for a week, their small church took $200 from their funds to help them buy groceries.
a televengelist megachurchs almost never does it though, smaller church denominations do that kind of charity.
Exactly. But people have the idea that Jesus was against money. He wasn't, in fact he lived off money given to him by "women of means," and spoke about how one should give. He was against greed and using G*d like these charlatans. He didn't tell regular people to give it all up, just greedy people, because they worshipped money, which is idolatry, adultery against the their marriage covenant to the father. And that's the issue.
That’s just them investing in a new cult member. A business expense.
Religion preys on the poor and needed and makes them morally indebted to them. Just another one of their toxic ways to manipulate people.
