If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a group that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of any other group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you you will be banned on sight.

Provable means able to provide proof to the moderation, and, if necessary, to the community.

It's almost like someone ungodly wrote the rules to fit their needs. But people wouldn't use religion to justify their behaviors, would they? Certainly not, right?

[–] Osa-Eris-Xero512@kbin.social 28 points 11 months ago

Nah, see, this is one of the few parts that make perfect sense. Classic A/B testing.

Both think of the children

[–] killeronthecorner@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

I'd rather they didn't.

I assure you, they are thinking only of the holes

Proof that God is an evil bastard.

Gives the man who needs no wine, lots of it.

Gives the man with 4 wives no wine.

He must be laughing his ass off.

The celibacy thing for Catholics is a rule the Church eventually adopted, in Corinthians it even says that apostles can and do have wives.

The trick is to always keep 'em guessing!

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The real trick is to control women and to invent the rules such that everybody will inevitably break them.

[–] RandoCalrandian@kbin.social -1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you don't think there isn't at least as much effort done to control men (the ones they get money and free labor from), you're blind as a sexist bat

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

If you control women, then you also control men.

Well the one who does not belong to MY religion is obviously wrong and lying about which arbitrary restrictions must be observed on pain of being killed as a heretic.

[–] fuzzy_feeling@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago

We had couple of gods in the past... You really think yours is "the one"?!?

"Bob" tells us that we should sin, drink to our hearts content, and fornicate like our life depends on it, because it does! Praise "Bob!"

[–] elint@programming.dev 3 points 11 months ago

Eris tells us we should partake joyously of a hot dog on a Friday; this Devotive Ceremony to Remonstrate against the popular Paganisms of the Day: of Catholic Christendom (no meat on Friday), of Judaism (no meat of Pork), of Hindic Peoples (no meat of Beef), of Buddhists (no meat of animal), and of Discordians (no Hot Dog Buns).

troll religion

[–] investorsexchange@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It makes no sense. If you have more wives, you need more alcohol, not less.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because you now have five people sharing a drink together?
