Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Lmao wtf, like 80+% of Christianity as a thing in the first place is JUST the way Jesus (and, in the telling and by extension - the entire New Testament...?! Hello?) supplants the barbaric nature of the Old.

Whole new covenant, and all? I mean I'm just a godless heathen, guess I oughta take my cues from...checks notes...ahem some horrible prick named Wes Groggins, who sure doesn't sound like a fictional character named to suggest the role "antagonist/heinous troll".

Cool Christians, cool stuff y'all got going on. Jesus would be all over this, just like, "wow, this is my kinda saving souls! Y'all are really killing it down here. Err..." 🙄

Matthew 5:17 is pretty clear about this:

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Jesus also condoned slavery by making statements like this (Old Testament law is very clear in its support of slavery), and telling people to obey their masters, all the while never once saying a single negative thing about the act of owning other human beings as property. Despite being literally constantly surrounded by slavery.

Everything that happens makes a whole lot more sense if you view Trump as the anti-Christ, and his following is the false prophets that I believe the Bible specifically warns about. (but to be fair I’ve mostly read condensed summaries on this)
