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.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

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.

This reminds me of a very old joke I heard from a zizek lecture I think.

How can we be sure that Judas didn’t really betray Jesus Christ? Whatever one thinks about the Jews, they know the value of the things they sell, so no Jew would have sold a god for mere 30 silver talents!

(I hope this isnt offensive to anyone, although i don't think theres many religious people on Lemmy)

Also.

Two Jewish men pass a Catholic church on which a large poster addresses non-Catholics: “Come to us, accept Catholicism, and you instantly get $30,000 in cash!” While walking away, the two friends become engaged in a debate about whether the offer is meant seriously. A week later, the two friends meet again in front of the same church, and one of them confides to the other: “I still wonder if that offer is serious.” The other replies condescendingly: “Ah you Jews, all you think about is money!”

Let me know if people want this deleted and I'll do it. Don't wanna be a provocateur today.

Two beggars are sitting side by side on a street in Rome.

One has a cross in front of him; the other one the Star of David. Many people go by and look at both beggars, but only put money into the hat of the beggar sitting behind the cross.

A priest comes by, stops and watches throngs of people giving money to the beggar behind the cross, but none give to the beggar behind the Star of David.

Finally, the priest goes over to the beggar behind the Star of David and says, "My poor fellow, don't you understand? This is a Catholic country; this city is the seat of Catholicism. People aren't going to give you money if you sit there with a Star of David in front of you, especially when you're sitting beside a beggar who has a cross. In fact, they would probably give to him just out of spite."

The beggar behind the Star of David listened to the priest, turned to the other beggar with the cross and said: "Moishe, look who's trying to teach the Goldstein brothers about marketing."

Good religious people generally keep it to themselves unless specifically asked lol.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world -1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

“Good religious people” aka friends and enablers of pedos.

You are the company you keep. Especially the ones being evangelical about putting their religion into politics and forcing others to live under their dichotomy.

[–] Denjin@feddit.uk 1 points 2 days ago

As if there aren't pedophiles in non-religious settings like schools or sports or the scouts or youth music or roblox or anywhere else you happen to have places where there's children.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You don’t give a crap about children or stopping pedophiles. You just need a blanket you can throw over everyone so you have a reason to be MAD. lol

Otherwise it’s hard to point at someone enjoying religion privately to themselves and say “that guy need to stop”

Get a life weirdo. You can’t just shout pedophile every time you don’t like something.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The founder of gateway church getting outed as pedo is the least surprising of the only recent events where once again it’s not the trans or drag queens touching the kids.

Curious how many kids he helped connect to priests via his gateway.

What tans or gay people do in the privacy of their own home is theirs too but that’s not stopping the religious nut jobs from invading that privacy and pushing their cult into the lives of other and politics. You fucking hypocrite.

How about you get off your knees and stop defending the pedos and their fucking cult.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

No one who cares about molested kids throw around the word pedophile as much as you do. If anyone is helping pedophiles it’s you. You are trying your damned hardest to blur and obfuscate what a pedophile actually is. You’re out here crying wolf as loud as you can and it’s hurting the victims smugly claim to be worried about. You’re a fool.

Im not connected to any of those people buddy. You can stomp your feet and cry all you want but you can’t force me to believe what you believe. It doesn’t matter how pissy you are about it.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oohhhh go on Ted Cruz, defend your cults and pedo grooming centres harder dipshit.

Come on. Tell me what’s different when poor old innocent religious people want their privacy for their religion but actively invade the lives of gay and trans people just wanting to live? What about their rights to privacy. Or do you only care about freedom to worship made up shit.

You hypocritical buffoon.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world -1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

So all you do is strawman arguments? Cool.

I have no issues with trans people and this whole conversation started because I mentioned I DONT bring it up to people unless they directly ask me.

I don’t invade peoples lives. Maybe Ted Cruz does but I’m not Ted Cruz. Are you Adolph hitler? He hated Jews so you must hate Jews?

Keep defending your genocide I guess.

The truth is the only one trying to force their control on people’s lives here is you. I mentioned I’m religious and you just can’t tolerate that. You made it your mission to force me to stop being religious. You failed, but that’s your goal. To force your believes onto other people. That’s you’re goal, not mine.

Cute coming from you ,someone clearly supporting of what Israel is doing right now.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ah one of your lazy go to arguments. That’s your whole “debate” strategy every time lol

I read your comment history. Have you ever had an opinion that wasn’t “I’m angry and fuck you”

Everyone is Ted Cruz to you, everyone’s a Israel supporter, everyone’s a pedophile…

You are an idiot. Just shouting shit at people and declaring them pedophiles isn’t an argument it’s a temper tantrum. Grow up.

And let people enjoy the tv franchises the want. Sorry you don’t like fallout, I don’t care for it either. That doesn’t mean it’s shit. You’re just self absorbed.

And stop posting that stupid damn bean. No one thought it was funny the first time, they aren’t going to laugh the 100th time. Squidbean ain’t taking over lemmy.

Get a real personality.

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Oh look typical religious nutjob wasting his time invading other people lives again.

Go on. Admit you have nothing in response to invading the lives of gay and trans people for your religious gratification. We understand your cult brainwashed you.

Complaining about some two year old bean shitposts. That’s the cherry on top. Gosh you religious folk are fucking perverse.

Beahahahahaha fuck off Ai simp. Fucking religious and Ai brainrot. Fucking indoctrinated imbecile.

[–] Aeao@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah you also call people AI a lot too. I think I’ve exhausted the dialogue options of this npc

[–] BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh how precious. The religious Ai simps do come up with the most original attempts to dehumanize.

Go ask your chatbotGF about places you can sodomize children in the name of your cult leader. 😘

This is extremely xenophobic.
