A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Is this one of the guys that literally blesses Russian military equipment, including their nukes?
Empty words. Not only they don't belive in their god, but also such a god, if existed, would hardly be happy of destruction of the world he created. So, if there are different sorts of hell, those who are responsible of world destruction would go to the worst sort of it.
Kill everyone before "don't question your cult leader" loses it's effect.
Standard cult leader stuff.
That's why we're all so fucking weirded out by you.
Christianity is literally a death cult
The last super has cannibalism and vampirism.
Easter celebrates zombies.
Totally original idea man, imagine if Netflix made a show showing the parallels of vampires and Catholics.
So something by Anne rice?
Rad
Some denominations are even a cannibalistic death cult (with a special focus on blood and raw meat).
All of the abrahamic religions are. It could probably be argued that Hinduism is as well, at least historically, as far as the caste system basis and such. Not sure what modern Hindu beliefs are whatsoever tho.
Religion is a scourge on humanity. Just like Russia.
💯
Death cult says death cult not afraid of death
News at 7
No. I’m a Christian, and can say that the end of the world would not be liked by me
I’m pretty sure y’all are in fact ordered to take care of it and serve as good stewards of it. Also I seem to recall a rule against killing, and a guy advocating peace among all people
Oh ok, never mind guys, this one random Christian on the internet said it's ok.
You should have the right to believe and worship whatever you want, but this attitude of "oh if the world ends it's God's plan" is so fucking shitty. Maybe try to fix the world and work with what we have instead of putting all your eggs in the basket of "at least we have heaven after". For those who don't subscribe to your particular brand of comforting lies, we want to take care of the world we have, not piss it away thinking it's the free trial edition of life.
Holy shit, it's shareware from way back when. Free to try, but do a ritual and pay us a tithe when you're ready to really commit and until then please still share us with all your friends. It's free, after all!
They dont relate responsibility and dominion. They think having dominion of something means you dont have to take care of it.
Maybe try to fix the world and work with what we have instead of putting all your eggs in the basket of "at least we have heaven after".
I mean he says exactly that.
Maybe your christians aren't afraid of it. But I'm pretty sure like 5.8 billion people who aren't christian are kind of are and would not like this to fulfill some death cult's prophecy.
I'm not Christian (I'm actually more of a syncretic Luciferian) and I'm not afraid of the "end of the world", because isn't logical to fear something that's certain to happen soon. Actually, the world, as in the Earth, will last for millions of years until the Sun swallows it, but Homo sapiens have not been needed a Sun to swallow them: they're swallowing one another as well as themselves, and that's exactly what are taking humans to the inevitable fate. Humans are destroying the nature. Humans are polluting the Cosmos (thousands of metallic mosquitoes around the Earth, we call them "satellites" and "space debris" from "rockets" and other apparatuses humans took there). There's no savior to come down from the skies. The many prophecies (Kali Yuga, Armageddon, Al-Qiyamah, Ragnarök and so on) are indeed self-fulfilling prophecies, as every form of life that is gifted (or, to use a better adjective, cursed) with the sentience is rendered self-destructive by nature. Like it or not, the "end of the world" has already started, and the very harbingers of doom are ourselves, our very human natures. It's beyond nationalities and religions.
I mean are any of us at this point? Aren't we all just kind of wishing for it? Let's get this shit over with.
My favourite theory is we're all dead and in purgatory, being teased with the end ofnthe world.
Me either. Launch em.
Let’s hit this guy first
How does this KGB agent know what christians want or afraid of? Did he torture them?
He read the Christian text book.
Yeah, let's all follow the guy that thinks he'll be at the front of the line in the afterlife that doesn't exist.
Russia must be close to collapsing for them to be saying this sort of thing. Remember, nukes require all sorts of expensive things to work. Things that get stolen or scammed in a kleptocracy like Russia. Putin cannot depend on real knowledge of his arsenals readiness. Lots if not most all of his nukes won’t work. But almost all of the West’s will. Does even a crazy man risk it under this situation?
Nah, this has been the position of the Russian Orthodox Church for a very long time. They bless Russia's nuclear weapons. This isn't new.
Ok, but they should logically be afraid of causing it. The only reason not to be afraid of the end of the world is if you're going to the good afterlife.
I'm gonna die anyway. I don't mind company.
Can't write 'Kirill' without 'kill', after all.
Kirill will burn in hell.
Seriously heretic from an Orthodox Christian perspective.
Christians really should take a firm look into Kabbalah and realize that the basis of ecumenity has, quite literally, the darkest past and future: עולם הקודם and עולם הבא.
Split tongues, sharpen the blade
The war ends when they say
They don't care, they won't learn
Sit back and watch the world burn
