News
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.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
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.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
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.

Ok, yep, this is the kind of insane, nutjob "Christianity" I grew up in and around.
These actual lunatic people just make up their minds that... something they don't like, for reasons that they know are nonsense, it just gives them an 'ick' for some reason... yep, its just haram now, its demons, because God told me personally when I prayed about it one day.
This is American Christianity, a gigantic ego trip for mentally ill people, and you're an anti-religious bigot if you criticize their anti-logic, their fever dreams.
Oh how I wish that all 100 million Americans who believe Trump is part of God's plan just actually had been raptured, I am so beyond tired of dealing with these people's aggressive and hateful delusions.
EDIT:
it is very funny to me that a year ago, on lemmy, i had liberal boomers tut-tuting at me when I would say things like "no, you don't get it, roughly one third of America fundamentally thinks democracy is stupid and would prefer a theocracy with American state propoganda characteristics", and then back that up with statistics.
Pshaw! What a ludicrous notion! The idea that you could suggest-
shhhhh its time to retire now, liberal boomer, retire from having agressively delusional opinions, shhhhh no you don't get to actually retire, no, your house isn't worth what you think it is, no, your investments aren't going to be enough, shhhh its ok, your mindless self indulgence didn't work out so well, just like we all told you it wouldn't, shhhhh, its time for bed.
