A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

Sounds like a resignation speech to me.
And judges who respond to voices in their head should never be allowed to hold office.
internal screaming in Americanese intensifies
She should be fired
Immediately. Judges should be impartial.
They should also not be suffering from extreme mental illness, like she is.
The fact that this person is an ICJ judge shows you that we are living in a clown world. Our entire civilization has no clothes. We are talking chimps conducting a reckless, unplanned terraform of spaceship Earth. Our intelligence is no match for our hubris. If you haven't figured it out yet, we are approaching our great filter and the perpetrator is ourselves.
As she said, we are approaching the "end times", except what comes after is the eternal nothingness of the void; the only remanence being another dead rock hurtling through space.
And not insane.
What a ridiculous thing for a judge to say. It's amazing that people can seemingly rise so high up in the field of law, only to become extremely biased and do the exact opposite of what they're supposed to be doing.
Oh good, another accelerationist in power who thinks they're the catalyst for the rapture.
The thing that confounds me the most is that these people have been rejecting our experienced reality and believing in some post-apocalyptic utopia for CENTURIES. But belief upon belief, attempt after attempt, they have only shown that their belief-system has no foundation or champion whose power they can invoke. But, instead of saying "we have the resources to make utopia exist here and now," they say, "we must not have pleased our friend who hasn't shown his face in MILLENNIA. But I know for a fact that he's real, so we just gotta cause a biblical apocalypse for all the chess pieces we feed and employ."
I am religious. I find the idea of purposefully bringing on the end of times strongly contradictory to my understanding of the Abrahamic religions. It is not the place of humans to decide, when the end times come, nor do humans have the power to do so. And the idea that purposefully bringing on the end of the world would be rewarded, instead of punished, by God is incomprehensible to me.
There is a narration both in Judaism and Islam, that emphasizes this:
“If the [Day of] Resurrection were established upon one of you, and in his hand is a sapling, then he should plant it.”
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنْ قَامَتْ عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ الْقِيَامَةُ وَفِي يَدِهِ فَسْلَةٌ فَلْيَغْرِسْهَا[1][2]
“If you are holding a sapling in your hand and someone tells you, ‘Come quickly, the Messiah is here!’, first finish planting the tree and then go to greet the Messiah.” – Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai (30 BC – 90 CE),
I'm reminded of the quote by Heraclitus: "Though reason is common, most people live as though they had an understanding peculiar to themselves." Religion is not immune to this, with people often twisting it to suit their own goals.
If it’s not our place to bring on the end times, then it’s also not our place to stand in the way.
That’s the problem. These people are telling themselves “if this is how it happens, who am I to stand in the way?” Think about it: if you see events in motion which could be the stirrings of god bringing about the end times, how could you possibly act in a completely neutral way, neither hastening nor hindering? It’s too fine a line for an humble mortal to assume they can walk.
So while I appreciate your thought, unfortunately your thinking is far too easily flipped around. The base problem is believing any of this stuff to begin with. Once you do, that’s it.
If it were the end of times made by gods, a person shouldn't have any ability to stop it.
Sounds more like their God is testing them on whether or not they are a good person, and they are failing spectacularly.
Judge Julia Sebutinde says signs of the end times 'are being shown in the Middle East'
Why tf would anyone want to fulfill the prophecy of the antichrist.
"Yeah let's accelerate this genocide so that the entire world can get screwed over"
They think this life is a transitional state and accelerating toward their mythological end times gets their sky wizard's kid/avatar to come back. This we all get to be happy, except those that aren't Christian. We're all fucked. These fuckers are insane.
Believers of a death cult promising salvation in the afterlife.
What i'm not getting is why these Christians in the US want the last judgement to arrive at all.
The way they seem to treat everyone, with cruelty, a cold heart, and lots of violence, is basically a guarantee they're not gonna go to paradise. Why, then, do they wish for the last judgement?
Right, imagine standing in front of God and saying "Yeah I did all those horrible things since it was a sign of the end times".
Like why do they think that somehow qualifies them getting into heaven.
Even best case scenario, you still have to deal with essentially the apocalypse on Earth before you even reach the point of judgment.
Reason #N+1 weird-ass cultists should be disqualified from all leadership positions.
Ass cultists lol
Ass cultists at least make sense.
How does one know what lord wants?
Easy. It's the same thing you want. Every time.
Well obviously. I am the best person and made in the image of the "lord", therefore the "lord" MUST think like I do. My thoughts aren't my own, they're the "lord's". Or something to that extend.
INCORRECT!!
Anyways I'm off to the kitchen, the lord has instructed me to have a cookie!!
Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
-- ~~The Prophet Isaiah~~ Clearly Some Hamas Supporter /s
Deeply religious people should not be judges. Their judgement is inevitably biased. People’s lives should not depend on the religious choices and opinions of people in power.
Pychotic death cult
It's certainly the last days for the muslim children getting bombed by Israel.
someone so clearly admitting their own bias should not be allowed to serve on a court. that's like the whole point of a trial. not to mention just how horrifying the end times/rapture zionism ideology is in general
Yahweh is rather war-mongering.
Yahweh was a war god before a schism in the faith. "He" consolidated power and did away with the other gods.
I suppose she wouldn't mind going to meet this Lord a little early then? Seriously every single person that espouses something like this, should be immediately expelled from any government position.
I am at the point where if someone is openly religious, I OPENLY avoid them. I don't want anything to do with these delusional psychopaths.
Did he tell you so directly?
Judge Sebutinde, your eschatology is bad. But your paterology is even worse. You might be a heretic; whoever taught you this nonsense definitely is.
