Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're not really in a position to be criticizing people for lack of evidence, Jesus.
No, no! That's not Jesus, that's Jésus. He makes excellent menudo
Menudo?

Also a Philippines stew with pork and liver. (but i doubt many fillipinos are named Jesus.)
God is totally his dad! His mom said so, so it must be true!
....Really dude? God r/Atheism has migrated to Lemmy it seems.
The guy's name isn't even a religious statement, judging from his avatar he's likely hispanic or latino, two groups in which Jesus is a common first name, isn't even pronounced the same way as the Bible guy
It was a joke, dude. Lighten up.
It's hard to read sarcasm over the net, I thought you were literally mistaking a man named Jesus (No I don't know how to get my keyboard to do the accented e) was a bible thumper based on username alone
Your joke was "Christians bad" which is as offensive as it is played out and lame.
Holy shit man. It was a light-hearted joke about religions being based on faith rather than proof and the commenter's display name matching that of a widely recognized religious figure.
Take your persecution complex somewhere else.
Bro I'm not a Christian...
So you're all butt hurt for no reason at all then. Cool. I'm glad we had this talk.
I'm not butthurt, I'm reacting to cringe by cringing.
Here's an idea! You should change your name to include insufferable so it's super relevant
