Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
So Alabama's supreme court can rule on mere belief?
That's how it looks to me.
Seems like the whole thing is in direct contradiction with the establishment clause.
It seems clear at this point they no longer care about the law or precedent or tradition, they just want to punish and subjugate people they don't like.
If only SCOTUS didn't have a right-wing religious majority...
Our entire form of government is antithetical to Christianity. Christians need to keep that religious shit to their homes and churches.
I boggles the mind, this image of god nonsense. If we are made in gods image then gods image also includes Meth addicts and sexual offenders? God must be one crazy bugger.
You've seen a platypus, right?
Hey now - you just keep right on drivin’.
What I like is the image of God. What I don't like is the work of Satan.
You sure? In the whole bible Satan kills 10 people in total, because God tells him to, and even Satan is having second thoughts about doing Job so dirty, meanwhile God makes his arrows drunk with blood.
Oh I know, my favorite old testament law: If you neighbour strives against you and is raining blows down upon you; if your wife grabs him by the genitals to delivery you from your assailant you must cut off her hand. Show no mercy. < is that the image of god you like?
You guys need to recognize sarcasm. I was speaking for the judge from the OP.
For a moment, I thought you were saying that the Bible verse about cutting off your wife's hand because she pulled your attacker off of you by his nuts was sarcasm.
Now I'm picturing God standing there after the woman's hand got cut off,
"Crap, bro, don't you recognize SARCASM?". Shit. I thought you'd know I didn't want you to cut her hand off. That's crazy! Dude, you were getting your ass kicked. I mean, it's a little suspicious that of all the ways she could grab him she went for the balls, but you can't deny it was effective."
Fair enough, it aint easy sometimes
Setting aside the fact neither exist… in popular mythology, god is generally responsible for far more atrocities such as genocide, plagues, etc. Satan or the devil on the other hand is largely a scapegoat created by god to blame for the evil he creates in the world.
Mythology is some crazy stuff
I would love to know what this so called justice official's stance is on the Death Penalty; for or against.
I will look it up later as I am being lazy at the moment.
Which century is this from
Christians: "Even before birth, all human beings have the image of God, and their lives cannot be destroyed without effacing his glory[.]"
Trans people: [Exist]
Christians: No, not like that...
lol you act like judges are impartial
