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!

Of course they didn't, but they're willing to sacrifice core American values in the name of hate. They want to kill the LGBT population because a book said to (it wouldn't even be a sin to them) and they might not get into heaven if they don't, kill immigrants because they're afraid, and kill minorities because they're aggrieved (they resent having to have given up their slaves).
That's it. That's the entire reasoning. This is why MAGA had that mass-psychosis about the "Rapture" late last September. This is the stated reason our Republican Senators and house Reps echo when supporting Israel. Because the Bible says those who support Israel will be raptured... except the Bible doesn't actually say that. MAGA just wants to be free of this world.
Even with their politicians in office, MAGA hates this time as much as the most devout leftist. We're all suffering, everywhere, unless you have Big money. Republicans just think that suffering under their Dear Leader is how they ascend into the afterlife, so they can finally be free of their pain. Rather than support actual policy changes, they'll try to unlock some "secret ending" they heard about in their churches.
It's actual insanity. You'd have better luck quoting scripture to getting these people to believe different nonsense, than to get them to touch base with reality. Fuck.. I can't really blame them. The last year has made me lose my mind, and I don't want it back.
Where does the Bible say to kill? And let's say it does it also says a lot about helping people and collecting wealth is wrong. I believe it say rich men won't get into heaven.
Leviticus 18:22. The fact that it's old testament doesn't matter to them. They find it icky.
Odd that there is no mention of how to deal with people who broke the covenant with the lord. Surely no bible would have such information.
