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!

What's even crazier is when you realize the main three (Islam, Judaism, Christianity) all literally worship the same God. They just disagree on prophets.
I find it hilarious when I say that on various forums and often it's the xtians that usually object that they worship Allah.
Usually I do this in the context of explaining how using the term "God" as a stand-in for their god (meaning: Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh) is so very provincial and presumptuous.
Sometimes I've had a few Jews try to claim that Jehovah/Allah/Yahweh are not the same entity, and also that using the full name of their god is something I should not do because it's "offensive". I realize that xtianity and Islam are both retcons that both claim their legitimacy based on the OT, but for some reason, pointing this obvious fact out is something some people pretend to be offended by. In any case, I point out these rules are for the adherents of book clubs, not for others who have not opted into these book clubs. Being "offended" by someone using the full name of a fictional entity is therefore a choice.
I, for one, refuse to play along with their game of assuming the use of [g|G]od automatically means the Abrahamic one...
So... Money?
Oh, I'm aware
But do you overstand?
Tribalism, control, and wealth-accumulation?
