It's almost like you shouldn't trust the judgement of people who believe inter-dimensional space wizards are real

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

And that's not even touching on the part where the "inter-dimensional space wizard who will send you to the torment nexus" is just a pretense for controlling and subjugating people.
Yeah, I'm fine with anything resembling gods being out there. But trusting other humans who want to control you blindly? WTF is wrong with you
I just can’t grasp how someone could be a catholic in current times
Religious*
For a couple of people I know, the answer would be: "This is obviously terrible, yes, but we need to preserve our traditional values at all costs, otherwise Muslim immigrants will replace us".
“It doesn’t affect me personally.”
Fuck the Catholic Church
Signed: Recovering socially catholic person who was forced to deal with the very insular and problematic Catholic bullshit for 18 years. Trauma is center to Catholicism. It is the point.
You know how us Catholic girls can be We make up for so much time, a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I'll see you next Sunday
Why do people do so much fucked up shit in the name of a supposedly perfect loving God?
The people wanted to do the fucked up shit regardless but need a mental justification to hide behind
For that gods approval, when the scriptures are twisted to fit those who seek power's narrative.
Please rewrite inserting “evil cult” for “church”. Thanks.
Same thing happened in Ireland.
Ah, America. The cause of and answer to the world's problems.
I feel like this should be taken as an insult by America. I mean those little kids were innocent, but the church thought of them is "impure" and they sent their "impurities" to America. Holy shit, it's fucking dark, too.
