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 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 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!

Ding, ding, ding...
There's your problem, right there. Christians continue to tell us who they plan on attacking next and we, as a society, allow them to continue to be the shittiest human beings on planet Earth, unabated. These people are heavily mentally ill. And they keep... What's the word they like to use..? "Grooming" kids to make sure the priests and the pastors have a brand new group of idiots for the next generation.
This has to be stopped. Believing utter bullshit should not be a protected class.
I'm really tired of these assholes using religion as a basis to make and change laws. They're forcing Christianity on everyone else. I guess freedom of/from religion is there with the separation of church and state, in the trash.
Using religion as a basis to change laws is what they do. It's why they were threatened, under the penalty of death, by most of the countries in Europe, to leave. Everybody was sick of their shit. Imagine a massive group of Marjorie Taylor Greens. That is what sailed to America. Imagine being a Native American, living your best life, and that is what shows up on your shores.
This narrative that Christians left to "avoid religious persecution" was started by, you guessed it, the Christians, who are always the "victims" even when they themselves initiated the problem. The truth is, they came here so they could continue to persecute others. How many infected blankets did they hand out to the natives, knowing it would kill them? They have always been terrible people. Always.
The founding fathers were not even Christians, they were deists. At that time, just like today, you can't make a law without including the Christians or they'll destroy society. They have to be getting talked about favorably or they kill everyone around them; the inquisition, the Nazis, etc... All done by Christians. And yet we made them a federally protected class. For what? What warrants that? They aren't threatened. They're not a minority class, that is to say, not a small number of the population... They have churches seemingly on every corner in every city and town in the country. Everyone else has to be protected from them.
And one of the lesser, yet still egregious tactics that they use is to have prayer meetings at public schools and at jobs. I've lived in the South my entire life and almost every place I've ever worked, there's been a morning meeting where somebody prays at the end.
We, as a society, need to reevaluate the need to list religion as a protected class, because let's face it, the Christians think their religion is the only one that meets that criteria. They are nothing but a federally defended terrorist group.
