Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
- No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
- No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
That's all the rules!

You could have just said you're picking the last choice.
Just to be clear, you support eternal torture. That is evil and wrong no matter what the circumstances are. If you do not think that is evil and wrong then you have no right to talk about morality or right and wrong because your position starts from such a psychotic idea. When called out, you just say, well I don't have to think about that or answer it in any way because my invisible friend is always right especially when it makes absolutely no sense. The fact that you are able to justify this and then just go about your day is frightening to someone who aspires to enjoy a civilized society.
And just because I apparently have to point this out again, the fact that some Christians, Muslims etc are nice people does not negate the fact that your foundational worldview is morally bankrupt. It's great that some people can take the good out of religion and ignore the bad but it goes both ways. Humanity cannot succeed as long as it's widely accepted that an imaginary deity can be used as justification for accepting evil ideas and committing evil deeds.
That's your projection. I do not support it. I'm against it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I sincerely hope that everybody gets to go to heaven, or whatever the afterlife will turn out to be, but don't make a lot of assumptions about what it will be like. Unlike you, apparently. Despite your stated unbelief, you've got some pretty clear ideas about what it must be like or what you feel others must believe about it.
