Religious hagiography—rather than failure to prevent a catastrophe—was the focus.

    So, the same god (lowercase intentional) that spared Taco decided to murder innocent children that were camping and got hit with a flash flood? Is this supposed to be a good god?

      First answer: yes

      Second answer: is that profitable?

    The assassin did hit a firefighter behind Trump. Did God not care about that guy?

      “Because it’s all part of his plan!”

      The reason their arguments work for them, is because they never needed to make sense in the first place.

    Yeah, if only the wind would have been slightly different, but we aren’t so lucky.

    These same assclowns wouldn’t be ordaining events about God, but blaming Democrats. Funny how hurting humans is NOT what they’re all about, but suddenly that’s cool with JesusGod or whatever.

    Fucker thought he was Lee Harvey Oswald and forgot to double-tap before his head got turned into a rooftop Jackson Pollock. Unforgivable mistake.

  1. Articles must be relevant to US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.
