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!

This is great. But for the die hard pro lifers they would simply say "well the baby died because of your actions. If God wanted you to die with it, you should have"
They are the worst.
Sometimes, I imagine if there was a power like the marvel infinity crystals snap your finger thing, that I'd wish away these people. The fanatics.
But really if you don't get rid of them all, or get rid of the concept of religion entirely, it'd just come back.
But I imagine, if such a power existed, and I used it to wipe them from the known galactic existence, that it must be God's will if I can and if God wanted you to exist and worship him I'd never have been able to wield such power.
Even though I'm not a Christian I wish they were right about The Rapture because then we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore.
Would it come back though if you got rid of the concept of religion and the fanatics? Wouldn't the only people left be opposed to religion or just not participate and thus nobody would revive it?
I meant if I only got rid of fanatics.
New fanatics can arise on their own.
It'd have to be the concept of religion and all believers
Ah yes must have misread your comment. Completely agree that removing all fanatics is just temporary.
I think my OP could have been better worded. That's not all on you
