Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. 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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

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.

That's all the rules!

Just more evidence that the behavior and ideology of religious people doesn't come out of a book. Protestant Christianity must be the best example of this. What other ideology could account for both liberation theology and prosperity gospel? I'd go further to say that the number of denominations is equal to the number of Protestants.

This is why it's so foolish for the non-believer to have opinions about how a "true" Christian ought to behave or ought to believe. In order to make that claim you imply:

  1. The authors of the Bible had a message
  2. That message was accurately recorded
  3. That message has been accurately preserved.
  4. That message is clear and understandable.

At that point you might as well start confessing your sins because while you might lack belief, you've kept the faith.

Protestant Christianity must be the best example of this.

I mean, who'd have thunk that the guy who nailed the 95 Theses to the Church doors also wrote a book called "The Jews and their Lies."

Protestants had a stink on them from the beginning. Martin Luther was a dope.

Some of us kept the faith but don't believe in the church

Trump polls well with white racists.
