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!

Ah yes, revelations. Legitimately the most interesting part of the Bible.

Can these people just have their rapture already and leave us to get on with our lives?

[–] sndmn@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 hours ago

I think I'm starting to understand the Fermi paradox.

By prophecy fulfilled — do you mean the part of the Bible where people start getting fooled by the antichrist?

[–] fubo@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

As a reminder, helping the Antichrist bring about the end times does not earn them a spot in heaven, but rather in the lake of fire that burns with sulfur.

Hooray jeebus is coming back to judge everyone and send all the bad people to be tortured forever, as any benevolent deity would do.

Goddamn fucking assclown motherfucking hypocritical shitheaded bastards! FUCK THEM.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 11 points 5 hours ago

You forgot the part where the Rapture happens BEFORE the millennium, meaning that all these Christians just get to sit in Heaven and laugh at the sinners. Evangelicalism in the US is heavily premillennial.

This was prophesied? I must have missed that page in the Bible.

[–] ultranaut@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

There is a part of the bible about lusting after donkey dicks and horse jizz.

Religions are literally mass cults

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

The only real difference between a cult and a religion is that the person who started it is dead.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

Real estate. The religions have more real estate, the cults are just pikers.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 hours ago

God isn’t real dipshits.

[–] Raglesnarf@lemmy.world 19 points 6 hours ago

god damn I hate religion

[–] ShittyBeatlesFCPres@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

Wrong prophesy, dipshits. He’s not King Cyrus. He’s just a senile pervert and you, Trump voter, are the reason we’re not able to address global warming or even people pissing everywhere in public bathrooms.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Fucking bitter clingers.

Trump does fit the Nostradamus prophecy for the 3rd anti crist

[–] lennybird@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

I kind of fucked up today and while going on a rant of how stupid these people were I equated them to believing in Santa in front of my one kid. Fortunately she's young enough I played it off...
