Loving your kid is not a sin, shake off the dust of any church that teaches otherwise.

Jesus said just be nice and stuff

Churches need to get back to spreading the actual message of Jesus Christ.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."

A bunch of years ago my church, which didn't have an official stance on gay relationships, had a gay choir director. He'd been there for years and was widely loved. He didn't tell anybody at church, but eventually it got out that he had a partner. A significant portion of the church demanded that he be fired. People who had prayed, laughed, and cried with him suddenly saw him as somebody deserving of nothing.

Even though he had support from church leadership, this drove him not only away from my church but away from Christianity altogether. Last I knew, he never regained his faith.

My pastor was unable to take an official stance because of hierarchical problems (later fixed, but too late) but did give a sermon about the sin of driving people away from Christ. This was not enough.

I can only hope that you do not let this horrible experience drive you from God. There are people who love you. Loving your son is not wrong. I believe that you can find another church that will treat you right.

darn imagine following the Bible's teachings, what a horrible experience

I've never understood how churches like this could think they're loving without twisting love the ways abusive parents do until it means cruelty and abuse. The Bible should be our guide for spiritual matters. Using it as a guide for matters outside the spiritual is abusing it, not respecting it. It's not a science text and it shouldn't be used as such

We shouldnt take scripture seriously because sometimes there is allegory!

The hate for trans people is growing to a crescendo, fueled by the personal anti-trans obsessions of some of history's most wealthy people, and the advantage many politicians find in stoking it. Obviously "Jesus is an obedient attack dog, kept tightly leashed by the world's wealthiest and most powerful, hating whoever they command him to hate" is absurd on the face of it, but... well, we live in an absurd era.

The (((wealthiest and most powerful))) are to blame for christians not accepting tr4nnies cutting off their peepees

Apparently they didn't read Galatians 3:28: "There is neither male nor female, for we are one in Christ". I hope you find a more accepting church!

TLDR: Parish councillor rigs explosive trap for cat. The townsfolk seem reluctant to even speak about it

Trump heard "Free Palestine" and said "Sold!"

Hi, I'm Penny.

We (and every other subreddit) are required to uphold the Reddit Sitewide Rules, and you (because you're using Reddit) are required to abide by them.

One of those rules prohibits Targeted Harassment, and one expression of Targeted Harassment is "anything that contributes to persuading someone else to cease using Reddit".

That includes moderators of other communities, and other communities.

We also want to keep the topic in this subreddit focused on Conservative Terrorism.

Terrorism towards various demographics as expressed by the Trump administration and its supporters can be in a wide range of expressions both subtle and overt, however

Reddit, Inc. has a particular narrow definition of what is and is not an expression of terrorism - one which doesn't cover such things as "I was banned from /r/Subreddit, after posting / commenting something opposing Conservative Terrorists, therefore the operators of that subreddit are Terrorists / Terrorist Sympathisers".

It also doesn't cover "the audience of /r/SubReddit have cognitive dissonance about their support of hateful policies (which policies are arguably terroristic in nature), here, check out their posts and a selection of comments, these rubes, these pols, these maroons".

This subreddit is not a Sneer Club. We aren't here to Gawk at Other People On Reddit Being Hypocrites.

We're also not here to amplify their hateful messages by reposting them here.

So, here are some ground rules:

1: Do Not Post Here About Other Subreddits.

Don't screenshot them, don't post them here.

2: Do Not Participate In Subreddits You KNOW WILL NOT WELCOME YOUR PARTICIPATION.

Don't post there, don't comment there, don't modmail them, don't @ their moderators or participants elsewhere. Boundaries are important - even the boundaries of closeted, in-denial bigots who burp "States' Rights" as an answer to everything.

And don't come here to showboat about it if you do.

And finally,

3: Reddit Sitewide Rule 1 specifies,

Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

We enforce that. Without exception. That includes the dogwhistles and references to violence.

Do not threaten, advocate for, wish, hope, celebrate, express extreme indifference towards, or otherwise encourage or suggest harm of any kind, violence, or death.

Neither aid, nor abet, command, counsel, induce, nor procure violence.

If someone engages in this behaviour, they will be banned, without exceptions.

If someone enables this behaviour by responding to such an expression, they will be banned, without exceptions.

"WHY"

Oh, for multiple reasons, including (in no particular order):

• It's a FRICKING FELONY.

• It's a violation of Reddit's Sitewide Rules.

• Making threats online gets the FBI (and sometimes the Secret Service) crawling all over you, which (in the current administration especially) makes you a danger to associate with.

• we know that literal terrorists - US NATIONALS literally convicted of felony terrorism in the United States, WHICH IS NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE - make "false flagging as their targets and making violent threats online" one of their go-to methods to terroristically break movements and communities and draw down powerful persecution of them. Oh, and Jack Posobiec does it too.

• KINDERGARTENERS LEARN NOT TO DO IT. REDDIT IS FOR PEOPLE OVER 13.

So don't do it, 'K? And don't enable it. Hit Report on any threats you see, even the cutesy "Mario Brothers" and "in Minecraft" ones.

Because, at the end of the day, when the Trump administration goons show up at my doorstep to extraordinarily rendition me to Gitmo, I would like the world to know it is because I am transgender and didn't bend the knee to their fricking terrorism — not because "This subreddit has been temporarily banned due to a prevalence of violent content. Inciting and glorifying violence or doxing are against Reddit's platform-wide Rules. It will reopen in 72 hours, during which Reddit will support moderators and provide resources to keep Reddit a healthy place for discussion and debate."

Oh, and if you want one final reason, here's the final reason:

I'm the head moderator here, and right wing terrorists have used violent threats to give me clinical PTSD around violent threats simply because I stood up and said "kick the terrorists off Reddit", which I manage to work around to continue to advocate for a better world free from their terroristic harassment, so respect my personal boundaries, thanks. If you can't respect any of the reasons above and can't respect my personal boundaries, there's the door, on the other side of which are people all too happy to talk to you about their desire to see you do their dirty work.

Hope that's abundantly clear!

!eurochads I was told that EU would ban and overregulate Ai...

What the frick is going on?!i

Honest to god had two coworkers spout "Elon is a Nazi" and they act like they honestly believe it. Incredibly childish and beyond immature. Say you don't like the guy, sure, whatever, but I think to accuse anyone of nazism these days is truly 🚬 behavior of the worst most normie order. Words simply have no meaning anymore.

In case you aren't familar with them (a good thing), Hasan Piker and Ethan Klein (H3H3) are leftist content creators that for awhile collabed together and even had a podcast. That all changed after the Oct 7th incident as Hasan went full r-slur with pro-Palestine rhetoric while Ethan and his wife, who served in the IDF, naturally disagree with a lot of it. That relationship fell apart quickly and Ethan recently came out with a HECKING CONTENT NUKE!!!!!

A near goddarn 2 hour video about Hasan that didn't add anything new that Hasan's biggest haters (Destiny fans) didn't already know. Now apparently he's got a second video cooking up that apparently will accuse Hasan of solicting fans for nudes. Considering Destiny fans have made it their life's work to bring down Hasan, I find it hard to believe something that could cancel Hasan from more than just the Minecraft community would have not gotten picked up from those weaponized neurodivergents.

The LSF thread itself is filled with redditors thinking it will be a nothingburger like the last one. Destiny fans ing when anyone brings up his male feminist stuff.

It's that lil BOI!
