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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

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.

FUCKING LITERALLY every accusation is a fucking confession with these fucking people.
How can anyone who claims to be fucking religious think God is going to forgive all this lying and scheming? Do they think that their Lord stops watching when they're doing bad things? Or that he's okay with them doing bad things in his name? It's fucking bonkers.
But I guess you'd have to be fucking bonkers to believe any of that bullshit anyway.
Seriously though, spread this shit like wildfire.
Deep State is okay so long as I'm part of the in-group!
- low-educated maga bigot, probably.
Gotta hurt the right people.
I've watched a lot of religious arguments and debates and, let me tell you, the religious have no problem whatsoever with lying. I mean, sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they have a weird interpretation, but they also tell bold faced lies that are easily disproven. They do it often and even when proven to be a lie, they just keep saying it for years.
FYI, it's "bald faced". It comes from "barefaced", as in, having nothing to hide behind. A bare/bald face has no hair to hide behind, so it is out in the open.
I knew the right phrasing, but not the origins. Thanks for that.
So my beard makes me...treacherous. I see.
Hmm, I wonder if people should be judging them based on their actions instead of their professed religion.
I'm a better Christian than most Christians. And I don't even believe in a Sky Daddy!
Of course! After all, not questioning things regardless of evidence to the contrary is what religious "faith" is all about. Why would religious leaders push "faith" so hard if they weren't planning on taking advantage of it?
“Never do business with a religious son-of-a-bitch. His word ain't worth a shit -- not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal.”

Frank Zappa had a few choice words of the direction of Christian Nationalists, 40 years ago:

Because God doesn't like lying and scheming... unless it's in his (loosly defined, unprovable, constantly shifting) design.
They're morally right and you're morally wrong. Why? Because they say so.
You're right, I forgot. Christianity comes with an endless "get out of jail free" card by asking forgiveness from Jesus. All you gotta do is let Jesus into your heart and boom bam thank you ma'am all your endless fuckups and unwillingness to be a better person are forgiven! Surely you'll somehow be a better person in heaven!
Classic dark triad behavior. The ends will always justify the means as far as these ghouls are concerned
The God stuff is just used to control the masses and the useful idiots. No one in the upper echelons, including those of the Vatican, believes any of that. If they did, they would out and shame pedophiles with extreme prejudice. The God delusion is used to attain and maintain power and access to resources. Nothing more.
Edit: I understand some people earnestly need their faith, so that’s why I think religion should just be a private thing. But religion and religious belief of any kind needs to removed from serious public discourse and policymaking. Enough is enough.
I think the counterargument here is that hurting people is bad, even when they've done harm,
but even that falls pretty short, because it's not just that the upper echelons of the Catholic Church aren't "outing and shaming" them, but also that the system is literally protecting them.
It's different when they do it because they are the Heroic PCs rather than the Villainous NPCs.
They're going to do the based trad MAGA reforms, not the Soy Woke Chinese Communism.
Lol, those religious people have never actually read their religious texts. They just belive whatever their cult leader says.
LoL! They can just ask for forgiveness.
/S of course
