So… can we start a network that blocks all Jesus-centric, Christian junk? Nope, I’m sure they would call discrimination or some other hypocritical reason 🙃

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 30 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is my favorite type of Christian hate because all it does is hurt/inconvenience Christians.

[–] KingPapaDaddy@lemmy.world 17 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Why do they need that? Aren't they morally superior and stronger to non-christians?

watching porn on a phone? disgusting !

I mean ....... why use a 6" phone display while my PC has two 26" monitors

[–] sureshot0@discuss.online 1 points 1 day ago

I'd be so afraid of accidentally texting porn to someone.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Pfft amateur. I only watch porn on my 60 inch TV as loud as possible.

If you have to self-police like that, your followers don't believe in the morals you preach.

Reminds me of being asked how I keep from murdering and raping people, since I do not believe in an eternal damnation.

What do you mean being a good person is its own reward?!?

scary people, if religion is only thing that keeps them from doing that, which that question implies.

How do you hold back the nonstop compulsion to commit horrible crimes which we all feel constantly??

I think this network will primarily be used by parents to keep their kids from being tempted into sin or discovering that queer people exist

[–] webkitten@piefed.social 44 points 3 days ago (3 children)

They're gonna be shocked to find out that Jesus shared his body with 12 other men.

Which is supremely funny, because the religious states always have the highest porn consumption. Which I guess means they wont get many customers.

[–] Comet79@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago

Christian fundamentalists would prefer to ban a lot of things for everyone. Since they cannot do that, they resort to the next best thing, which is to ban them for their own crowd. But the main objective is to have every device be like that. If this phone network establishes itself in the long run, it will be a big L for all of us.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 97 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why would they have to block anything? Surely a real Christian wouldn't be interested in any of that in the first place!

[–] freddo@lemmy.zip 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes but the devil plays weird tricks so they may be tempted by those.

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 23 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I like how it's always Satan playing tricks.

Why isn't it their god just making sure they're worth getting into the afterlife?

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 16 points 3 days ago (5 children)

It gets so so much worse once you unpack this.

Consider these two points:

  • God is omnipotent, i.e. He can create or destroy or do anything He wants.
  • God is omniscient, i.e. He knows what happened, happens and will happen, and everything about the world He created.

With the powers He has, He:

  • Intentionally created humans that would fall for apple trick (as an omniscient being, He knew in advance they will)
  • Intentionally created Satan to set the scene
  • Dramatically exiled humans from heavens as if it's their fault (knowing full well it's His work, not theirs)

So, instead of just making a swarm of loyal creatures, he decided to be playful and make those creatures eternally ashamed of themselves, struggling to earn His approval even when He actively made their lives miserable through cataclysms, genocides, and all sorts of calamities.

He's literally a celestial "why are you hitting yourself?" bully, expecting to bully billions of people into servitude.

There is gonna be so much gay porn and CP moving around that service I would bet.

That's one of the scary things about all this "age verification" bs. Not only is it just mass surveillance, but in "protecting minors" from "adult content" those of us who identify as LGBTQ are labelled as adult content just for existing by these fundamentalists. Entire swaths of people will be banned just for existing, especially once Palantir gets as much data as possible and flags IDs and faces as LGBTQ dissidents.

Nothing more Christian than hating a group of people. Jesus, famous for all the hate he had.

In theory all this will be banned:-

  • Encouraging revenge
  • Celebrating cruelty or injustice
  • Promoting hatred toward others
  • Lying, gossip, slander
  • Manipulative or deceptive talk
  • Speech intended to harm reputations
  • Excessive focus on wealth or luxury
  • Encouraging exploitation for profit
  • Envy or covetousness
  • Addictive behaviors (including Instagram, candy crush etc.)
  • Promoting disobedience to parents
  • Promoting disobedience against governing authorities
  • Encouraging disorder or lawlessness

You could take care of like 90% of that just by blocking X.

You know who didn't block sex-workers and Queer people? Jesus.

(Jesus offends the religious authorities more than a few times because of His associations, notably "prostitutes"--with a later tradition holding that the woman to whom Jesus' return from death was first revealed, Mary Magdalene, was herself a sex-worker; as for Queer followers in the Bible, Jesus makes reference to "eunuchs" and Jesus Himself seems to fit on the asexual scale)

I imagine CSAM content will be exempt from this block.

Finally a phone that will help with foreskin blood magic, witches, and stonings. Brought to you by everyone's favorite cult leader and faith healer grifter.

It's tempting to shrug this off as not my business, but if this kind of entity becomes widespread enough, then you can get into situations where a future government, more radical than what we have today, could feasibly mandate people to use these types of networks

Good. Let them stay on their own network, and stop trying to pass bullshit laws that will never work. Get them their own ISPs as well.

Problem is, they will be strongly exposed to fascist propaganda on these networks. But I suppose they are already lost. Let the rest of us move on with our lives.
