Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

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.

Its not even Islamic, arab-speaking Christians say they worship Allah too, its literally just a translation.

Some of us Atheists unironically wear religious stuff because it looks stylish, because the words sound cool, or because we like and appreciate the fandom of a particular story, even if we realize people made it all up. I can wear Dr Who swag for the same reasons.

It is like why people get Chinese character tattoos and "engrish" packaging and tshirts are popular in east Asia.

And similarly why you find a lot of Caucasians with Mandarin script tattooed on their skin. It's cool, they like the meaning, and they don't have to be Confucian or whatever

What are the odds that a Viking raider wore this ring ironically?

More likely it was because the Vikings worked as mercenaries around Europe and for the Byzantines. There is a railing in the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul with runes carved into it by bored Vikings. They would've picked up items from all over the world in the process. They've also found Islamic coins in hoards found in Scandinavia.

The owner of this ring probably didn't even know what was carved on it, it just looked nice.

Doesnt it need to be Kami-sama?

God only said to honor thy father-san and thy mother-san, didn't really have clear instructions on himself.

Ty :)

So anyone else saying Kami-sama is by their own wish to honor kami, yes?
