Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

This is what happens when you're brainwashed from childhood to believe you're born evil, anyone not on your "team" is more evil, and you must blindly obey authority.

Organized religion destroys who we are or who we can be by inhibiting our actions and decisions out of fear of an intangible parent-figure who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says "No, no!"

--Kevin Smith, Dogma

Great quote. I can't talk about Dogma without bringing up that time that Kevin Smith participated in a protest of his own film.

Among the sign-waving attendees was Smith himself, making absolutely not the slightest effort to disguise his appearance or voice.

“I don’t think [Dogma] stands for anything positive,” - Kevin Smith, being interviewed by a news reporter while cheerfully participating in a protest of his film, Dogma.

I remember this kind of stuff back from my days as an evangelical Christian...they applaud this kind of nonsense, even though every single one of the users of this kind of software has some way around it. Purity culture craziness.
