General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Porn ruins lives, men's impression of women and objectifies women, as well as pornhub helping facilitate the trafficking of children and being lenient on cp. But sure, it's all about this "unverifiable" book, I guess
Organized religion has ruined far more lives than porn ever has, both directly and indirectly.
Millions upon millions of deaths and countless unnecessary suffering can be laid at the feet of religion, there's a war going on because of religion right now. What was the last war that was started over porn? I don't remember any crusades "in the name of porn". Porn is all inclusive of everyone's backgrounds, can't say the same for religion.
And don't go all "those are different sects/church's, can't blame their actions on my Church" blah blah blah, I could throw a dart at a dart board full of every religion, sect and church and pull up some deep dark atrocities about the one it lands on.
So what about Atheism then? You know, Maoist China, Soviet Russia and very arguably Nazi Germany
I was interested in your comment and found this.

Identifying as Christian and actually being one are completely separate things. Hitler pretended to be a Christian in public yet hated it in private. Your own article even says this:
I don't think whether they were really Christian or not makes much difference to the argument. Sure the top of the party may not have been devout church goers, but the population needed a religious edge to be pushed into war.
So I ask myself: if the nazi were outgoing atheists world war 2 may not have happened?
It had little to do with religion, though. It was more to do with eugenics and science. There is no way you could justify the holocaust using the Bible.
So you're saying it's impossible to be moral and atheist at the same time. That's interesting I wonder how you justify the holy wars then?
Get out of here with your nonsense. If you're not going to engage in actual discussion just don't start.
I literally never said that. I was pointing out how athiest regimes, upon the dismissal of God, still carried out genocide and murder. I was pointing out how the argument saying religion causes atrocities is fundamentally stupid.
Any time I claimed atheism was bad was making a point to how another side of the argument can be made. Devil's advocate, if you will.
WhAt AbOuT AtHeISM
Stfu, I've read through your other comments and that's the only counter point you ever bring up, and I said nothing about it.
You're trying to be subtle about it, but it's still evident that you're a run of the mill "Don't turn away from god! You'll go-to hell! Don't sin! Think about ThE AfTErLifE! No sex before marriage!" Religious nut.
You even have a comment towards someone: (I'm not going back to copy/paste so paraphrasing) "You're telling people to prioritize 70-90 years of their life instead of eternity in the afterlife" yea no shit, our 70-90 years are the only thing somewhat guaranteed vs a mythical afterlife
But as I've learned in my life, there's no point in bringing up structured counter points with a religious nut as they'll just constantly pull gotchas out their ass. So bye 👋
May The Lord have mercy upon you, my brother.
