No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I don't believe in any of this shit - but your mom does, so that's how we have to approach the problem. If religion got her to this point, religion can dig her back out of it.
"Mom, I want to talk about God. Like, a serious talk about serious stuff. I'm concerned that you are trying shoulder a HUGE emotional and spiritual burden right now, all by yourself. It's too big a load. You need to put some of it down.
All this sin around us? All this evil? It's what God wanted, right? God created all of humanity and, through Satan, put sin in their hearts.
But after thousands of years, God saw that humanity needed a broader message, a message that could be understood by all people of the world, not just the Israelites. So he sent his son with an update. And Jesus tells us to take care of those things within our power and leave the rest to God.
Mom, for your own sake, please think on this. Pray on it. Talk to your friends at church about it. God doesn't want you taking the weight of the world on your shoulders. It's too much to bear."
Maybe grab a Chrisian bible and show her the following, she'd probably love it if you did a little bible study with her:
1 Peter 5:7 (NIV): "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you".
Psalm 55:22 (NIV): "Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken".
Psalm 81:6 (NLT): "I will take the load from your shoulders; I will free your hands from their heavy tasks".
2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV): "But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness'".
Isaiah 10:27 (KJV): "...the burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and thy yoke from off thy neck...".
Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV): Encourages prayer over worry, promising that God's peace will guard hearts and minds.
