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:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content 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!

Only two of them are actually law: Thou shalt not murder and thou shalt not steal.
This is all about religion, and they're going to get away with it. We'd be better off if our legal codes were based on the seven tenets instead.
Not even two, maybe one and a half as it depends a lot on who you are and whom you're stealing from. And you can even argue on murder too

If I linked 1/3rd of the list of times the Bible condones murder it would be removed as spam.
Hail Satan! or not... I'm not your boss, do whatever
Hail Satan, and hail yourself!
America! Land of the free*!
*: Unless you meant freedom of religion. You better not! We'll sue/burn/shoot/jesus you if you do! Ultraconservative Christianity or death!
*unless you also meant freedom of expression or freedom of bodily autonomy
Wait, what's getting jesus'd...?
Oh, I did not think of the implications of making that a verb.
Flip it around on them, and say that if the Ten Commandments are so important, why they support Trump, who regularly breaks them.
Because the Lord works in mysterious ways, or some other dumb shit excuse.
we make exceptions for even the murdering and stealing.
All the time, and especially for cops. (It's called 'qualified immunity' and 'civil forfeiture' instead of murdering and stealing, but it's the same thing.)
