Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

So then according to Steven only religion can make evil people do good, inverse law. Thoughts?
"Inverse Law"? You do realize there's no such thing, right?
If a man can eat a hamburger, does the "inverse law" mean a hamburger can eat a man?
Lemmy is wild sometimes....
If a cow had the chance, it would eat you and your whole family.
How did you know me and my family are made of grass!?!
Privacy truly is dead.
Thanks Obama
Okay so you don’t think religion can make evil things good, you coulda just said that.
Was just trying to spark some conversation around the context of the statement, which itself seems silly to me on the surface.
Cause I dunno, I’m an atheist, but I wonder if there’s ever any edge cases of religion helping people, or if you’d all rather just shit over it like we always do.
I mean, religion likely was successful because in early agrarian societies having arbitrary reasons to bury the dead and burn the leftovers of butchered animals had hygiene benefits, so it brought some benefits to humanity in a given time and place.
But maybe not the best idea to cling to obsolete ideas past the point they are beneficial, particularly when other piggybacking ideas are actively harmful.
Wow... What a horrendously stupid fucking postulate.
Just like the original statement. Now you’re getting it.
