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
 

Thousands of Southern Baptists overwhelmingly voted Wednesday to advance a formal ban on women pastors in the nation’s largest Protestant denomination, sending a clear message that men alone should preach to these conservative evangelical congregations.

Ok bro. I don't know if this is an AI generated response or you're autistic, but this is too long. I'm not going to read all of this. I'm sorry.

And the part about "be a good person OR ELSE"? Like that's a bag thing? Honestly if that can scare some motherfuckers into doing good, there's nothing wrong with that.

If you can’t see why an eternal and unending punishment is not just, I really hope you don’t have kids.

Especially because Jesus tells you to stone them when they get into the teenage-angsty phase. (Or else)

Also don’t wear blended fabrics. (Or else)

Don’t eat the wrong kind of food. (Or else.)

Mutilate the dicks of your infant sons. (Or else.)

If a punishment doesn’t fit the crime, the punishment is unjust. And eternal torment cannot eve or be appropriate for a finite crime.

That's all in the old testament. It's not what Jesus advocated.

And you need to take a chill pill. We're on the same side of the fence here. We just disagree on each other's interpretation of the story of Jesus.

Mathew 5:17-20

Tell me. What does it mean when he says “have not come to abolish the law or the prophet's”…?

Does that mean he came to abolish?

It certainly doesn’t.

Indeed he goes on to say that not one letter, not one jot from the law will fall away.

According to Jesus, there is no “new covenant”.

You’re not arguing with me. You’re arguing with the words of Jesus himself

Ok dude.

Get a life.
