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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

Just... What is even going on? I don't remember people being this stupid and cruel. This is after 2 world wars. How could people not see that they're doing the same things that the other dickheads did to gain enough power to butcher people? People are mad and stupid
The NCO said they were Christian and emailed the MRFF on behalf of 15 troops, including at least 11 Christians, one Muslim, and one Jew. (Full email printed below.) The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”
How can you go in front of your mixed troops and start waxing lyrical about your specific religion? Like what sort of brain disease leads to this? Even if you are religious, you have to know that other people take their other religions just as seriously and recognize that perhaps it's better not to sow discord between them if they are supposed to battle together.
You are expecting these sycophants to have a basic human empathy.
Which is expecting too much.
Well it let's you know who to kick out

I've been saying for a while now that the biggest threat facing humanity isn't climate change but religion. By far.
Capitalism is the sword, religion is the shield. Climate change is the consequence.

I'm a Christian, have been all my life and am proud of it and what I believe. Whatever the F the US is doing is insane, unbiblical, and wildly dangerous.
I've said for years that religious power is appealing to narcissists because it is the most absolute form of power you can wield over a person. There will always be someone trying to wield it, because convincing someone your will is God's will, divine and unquestionable, is power more absolute than any other. Combining that power with the power of government is psychotic. It's why I'll always advocate for the absolute separation of church and state.
If you're a religious person, please be extremely cautious with who you let influence you, and everyone else? Absolutely keep fighting to get religion out of politics and keep it out. It has no business there. Get it out of schools, get it out of laws, get it out of political campaigns. It doesn't belong there, and having it there is corrosive to both State and Church.

Religion is a mental illness, a personal defect, an intellectual flaw, and the biggest threat facing humanity right now. By far.
You'd have been called antisemitic for saying this exact thing yesterday.
The reason every Christians nation has turned a blind eye to the Gaza genocide is to fulfill a biblical prophecy of Jews controlling the entirety of Biblical Israel.
Wow. America really is fucked.
I'm not very Jesusy but if he existed I doubt he'd annoint that sad old bag of hamburgers.

I guess the billionaires finished their bunkers…
The bunkers aren't finished until we fill their air vents and encapsulate their blast doors with ready-mix concrete.
Yeah, I know they probably have air-scrubbers, but those won't last forever.
Billionaires check in. They never check out. Just like roach motels, but far more expensive.

People like this are literally going to cause the end of the human race with their “beliefs”. We have a bunch of religious fanatics killing at the behest of a demented pedophile and his genocidal buddy.
Religion is a cancer.

Nah. Satan was all about gaining knowledge. America is doing the opposite.

Religious people are so easy to manipulate lol
How they don't see it, when their "pastors" are driving Porsches and living in manions while telling you if you don't skip a meal so that you can donate to the church you're gonna go to hell... it's beyond me.

If god is all powerful, why does he need any amount of humans to do shit for him? Do it yourself, you omnilazy bastard.
Even the Bible says no human will know the hour or the day.
Who an I kidding, no one involved here read the Bible.
The Bible also says life begins at the first breath and has instructions for an abortion ritual.

At least these psychopathic Christian evangelical Zionists are being honest about their goals. They want the Rapture or end of the world because they think that forcing ww3 will make Jesus return. This is why Christian evangelicals support Israel no matter how depraved their policies because they believe they will start ww3 and that’s what they want. Christian nationalism is dangerous. It’s been bad for a long time and people like Mike Huckabee have been working towards this goal for decades. We used to regard these people as crazy but now we put all the crazies and narcissists in charge and that’s why everyone sane is depressed with crippling anxiety.
What could be worse than incompetent, racist lunatics? Incompetent, racist lunatics that are also religious fanatics.

Isn't this the point at which you stand up and walk out of the room?
So about that authoritarian religious regime...
Is this dude on substack a legitimate source? Honest question. We live in the times of lies

The scary thing is not just that commanders may be saying this, but what an extreme outlier the citizens of the USA are when it comes to not being able to differentiate between reality and fairy-tales: https://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2015/0316/Do-countries-become-less-religious-as-they-get-richer
Even when the specific fairy-tales oppose these actions: quotes from Jesus according to the gospels:
"If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also." Matthew 5:39
"Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you," Luke 6:27
"No one knows the day or the hour except for my Father. And this orange pedophile who shits himself. That's gonna make sense in a few thousand years." - Jesus, probably.
