World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

Jokes on them. I don’t even want to go to heaven unless I can suck a bag of dicks on the other side of the gates.
Depending on your interpretation of the Bible, you're at least minimum guaranteed marriage to Jesus. Revelations 19
But from my lay perspective there is not a passage in the Bible that says gay sex is worse than eating shellfish so do with that what you will. The thing Jesus actually mentions several times explicitly was adultery aka being unfaithful as in cheating. So as long as its consensual and your not wrecking houses.....
Isn't Jesus already married to every Nun?
Also, just to note, there is a whole lot of talk about "sexual immorality"in the Bible, which is nearly universally translated to mean "homosexuality".
What the fuck does "sexual immorality" even mean? The only thing I can think of would be rape, but I sincerely doubt that was the intention.
Rape incest and pedophilia are the immoralities as written out in the Bible. Also lust to an extent.
Also, technically yes, all the nuns who have taken vows of Chastity are married to the church as are the pastors...
Oh so kind of like when Lot's daughters raped him?
How did humanity arise from Adam and Eve without incest?
The Bible isn't always meant to be taken literally good luck trying to explain that to a Baptist though. (Jesus almost exclusively spoke in metaphors AKA parables ) The first part of Genesis is describing how early hominids became humans. Personally I like the idea that God is more of a 4th dimensional entity that time does not constrain in any form. Basically a mad scientist using what we call evolution to slowly shape and change his petri dish of a planet.
