Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

MODERATORS
you know what I'm starting to believe that god does actually exist and he's just messing with us for his own entertainment at this point
Parthenon gods work well for this shit. Zeus had a bad day and wanted a laugh.
Has anyone recently been raped by a goose?
Is he havin a laugh?
Or we live in a simulation.
Is there a meaningful difference between a god and a creator of a virtual universe?
Yes, only one of those is possible...
I don't think that's something that us as humans can ever know.
A simulation should approximate reality. What this is, it can't be that.
Good point, but that may be some form of contemporary art
Or both
Maybe neither
Well. We don't.
How do you know?
There is no proof of God nor the simulation.
Lack of evidence isn’t evidence.
Just because you can’t prove god or simulation doesn’t exist isn’t proof that they don’t exist.
I asked how you knew, and you gave me an opinion.
In other words you don’t know, and you can’t prove or disprove it.
You are claiming that something is a certain way. The burden of proof is on the accuser. People claiming that we are in a simulation should prove it. I don't see any evidence of this presented.
There’s no burden of proof. This isn’t a court room.
You saying there isn’t a god/simulation is just as much of an accusation as someone saying there is.
You can’t prove or disprove it.
Since you’re claiming there is no god then by your logic you also have the burden of proof.
Unfortunately for you, the lack of evidence isn’t proof of anything. It doesn’t prove or disprove anything.
Your claim is just as wild as someone saying the opposite. Either way you’re taking a massive leap of faith to definitively say there is no god.
It’s no different than someone claiming there is a god. The position is equal.
The only definitive stance you can take is admitting it’s possible. Anything more is bias and opinion.
