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.
-
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 OCTOBER 19 2025
-
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.

MODERATORS
Don't be deceived, this church is a "face" church, and provides a mask of sensibility and veneer of respectability for the Christian faith.
In reality, they're fleecing their parishioners just like every other, and making a bloody fortune on it. They should at least be forced to pay taxes like the rest of us.
If you want to see their true face, look at what they are doing in Uganda, for just one example.
You can agree with their position without approving of the organization. Not everything needs to be a purity test.
Can you point out or link for us what specifically PCUSA (and not some other conservative denomination) is doing that is bad in Uganda?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord's_Resistance_Army
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Homosexuality_Act,_2023
You can start here. I stopped investigating once I saw video of "witches" being burned alive. I won't provide a link to that.
That’s not PCUSA doing that? They’re not even in the same organization with each other. PCUSA is a part of the World Communion of Reformed Fellowships while that Uganda church you linked is with churches more like PCA in the competing far more conservative World Reformed Fellowship.
edit: for the other links, the Lord’s Resistance Army seems to be some religious mishmash that doesn’t even seem to be affiliated with any established denomination, like they’re not even claiming to be any kind of Presbyterian conservative or otherwise? And on the anti-Homosexuality Act that is opposed by PCUSA on their own website.

Provides links to completely different denominations.
PCA is the Presbyterian denomination associated with the Ugandan Presbyterian Church via the World Reformed Fellowship. PCUSA is apart of the the World Communion of Reformed Churches. As with all religions in the US, all that matters is if they are Evangelical or Liberal.
Was that even real, though? No link = no evidence...
I responded with links, where are yours? I guess you have no evidence. I've added a couple more, enjoy
Okay, I see them, thanks. As for my end, evidence is put forth for claims, not for the absence of a claim... What you're doing is trying to call out someone for having no evidence against Russell's teapot; how silly is that?
