Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very "off topic".

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Avoid AI generated content.

Avoid misinformation.

Avoid incomprehensible posts.

No threats or personal attacks.

No spam.

I assume this is fine for the rules since punching Nazis is kinda the whole gist of 196. Also there's no real rules to follow ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

My Bible thumping mother put her blinders on and voted the antichrist into office. I gotta say, if the Christians were right all along, I'll be laughing in her face as we both burn in hell for eternity.

I just remind them, The Deceiver isn't going to chuckle and taunt with obvious signs and abhorant behaviors....he is going to turn God's most faithful into his tools for manifesting his own desires on Earth....gay dudes fucking in a pool of blood surrounded by burning crosses are just people being trolls...the Christian Nationalists are the work of the devil coming to fruition.

(Not religious myself, but they eat that shit up)

If Christians are right no one is burning in hell

That entirely depends on interpretation. Roman Catholics believe you need to do good to get into heaven. It's only some denominations who think it is through the grace of God alone and it matters not what you do/did.

If God did come down as human and suffered death for our sins, then why would that salvation only apply to some people? It doesn't take any more to grant that salvation to everyone than it does to some subgroup of humanity. If god's real, if the story of Jesus is real, then the salvation must be applied universally, christian or not, good or bad.

The logic of those denominations is not everyone chooses to follow Christ's path. Christ's death is seen as forgiving original sin not forgiving all of your sins. Roman Catholicism believes you have to be a good person and do good things for people to enter heaven. You don't get in by default as then there would be no reason not to be bad.

If heaven exists, I have a feeling it will be full of people that are surprised it exists.

angels having therapy sessions with atheists, of course being completely understanding of their plight which just makes it even worse
