Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Sadly, there are plenty of people trying to dictate what other people's children read based on their own feelings

They'll indoctrinate other people's children into their religion too, if they get the chance.

Yeah my girlfriend’s kids get crap for being atheists from Christian classmates who were clearly taught to act that way by their parents

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes they most likely will. Because Christians are commanded to do so by their religious text which furthermore makes it pretty clear that not doing so is a Bad Thing™ (not damnable but God will be displeased). So the more fundamentalist denominations take this literally and proselytize all over. However, the case for Christians forcing their morals and worldview on literally everyone is, I think, far weaker.

I thought Bible commanded everyone to love thy neighbour and everything

[–] agent_flounder@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yes. And in those culty spaces, they redefine love. It's a brainwashing technique.

but not those neighbors
