Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments 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.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally 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.

"God": Based. Cool. Trad. The foundation of Western Civilization. Protected by the first amendment. Maybe we'd all be a little better of we honored him more.

"God" but in Arabic: Extremist. Scary. Woke. A corrupting influence on the global politics. Clear and present danger. We need to expunge it from our nation and the world.

The funniest part of this is they’re literally the same god.

It’s all different forms of YHWH, Judaism, Islam, Christianity.

It’s all the same god with the fanfic changed up a little.

Wanna know something even funnier? Look up the word for "God" in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke.

Jesud called God in a way similar to "Allah".

Very true.

Also worth noting this isn’t just a cognate with Arabic ʾIlāh (Allah) but also Hebrew ʾEloah/Elohim (which is the standard way hebrew speaking Jews refer to god in spiritual settings).

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

Even within the same religion it's the same word; Arabic Christians and Jews use the word 'Allah'

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Don't you dare attempt to explain that to an Evangelical Christian though

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 3 points 19 hours ago

I tried pointing that out to my dad and he screamed "THATS BLASPHEMY" and turned purple.

Wait to they find out about Arabic numbers and start banning upvotes and downvotes

[–] Boo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 1 day ago

In Germany someone trolled a mayor candidate of one of the Nazi parties with that. He fell for it

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That applies to pretty much every arabic word.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 46 points 1 day ago

Or dildos that look Arabic...

[–] dhork@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's not just limited to Arabic words: Arabic Numbers are scary, too....

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 32 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

"72% of Americans say children shouldn't be taught Arabic numerals in school."

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Can't wait to do algebra with Roman numerals.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 23 hours ago

Is that an X or an X?

[–] themachinestops@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Wow, 123456789 so scary.
