Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

The death of his daughter, Peter told me, was God’s will. God created measles. God allowed the disease to take his daughter’s life. “Everybody has to die,” he said.

God also gave him a brain. Maybe he should try using it sometime.

there is no god and religion is a plague affecting the uneducated.

The soul crushing sadness here is that his daughter didn't get a say.

She didn't have to die. Even if the shot made her autistic, she'd still be alive.

These people are in effect saying "I'd rather have a dead kid than an autistic kid."

I know 5 autistic, 2 way more autistic than the others, adults that never vaccinated until 25+.

Anyone that actually believes there is a connection between vaccines and autism is irredeemably dumb as fuck.

such a fucking stupid view... By definition every scenerio we are in is something god put us in... Living as a human is taking action to avoid death. Be it eating, taking shelter from the elements, drinking water. Why are microbes any different than say... mountain lions... If a fricking mountain lion threatens your kids, is the response going to be "well guns are man made, god put those mountain lions there for a reason". or are you going to get out there, and hunt that thing.

God creates a lot of things. God created ted Bundy, Charles Manson, and Eric raider. His argument almost could be taken that none of them deserve punishment. After all, what they did was "God's will".

Why don’t they acknowledge that God created the vaccines ?

It's all gods plan and the kid is now playing wiffleball with jesus.

I thought the whole point of Abraham dragging his son up to the mountain to be killed was to prove that this God would never ask you to sacrifice your child for him?

That was soet of his biggest selling point, if my history serves me right.

I remember the story from Sunday School, but in our church we were taught that the 'point' was to always obey God without question. Like, even if God's instructions seem insane, do it anyway, maybe He's just messing with you?
