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!

the book of mormon says black skin is the mark of sin for "rebellion and iniquity." And mormons only came to a more moderate understanding of that historically very recently.
So you'll forgive me if I dont care about what mormon clowns say about much of anything.
Unfortunately, they found "evidence" for that belief in "the" bible.

good catch yeah. I dont beleive in much that christians say either, but I try to keep that to myself because I dont want to fight about it. The bible is an absurd and terribly written document. The Torah is even worse. And I dont know much about the Koran, but I dont have high hopes considering its another Abrahamic religion from the same time period and philosophies.
I'm not about to make the time to read holy books, I'd sooner shove bamboo up my own fingernails. ..The benefits of a catholic school education, all the way up to undergrad. So many years wasted to get to the conclusion that none of those people had any idea what they were saying, and what they did say they didnt actually believe or adhere to. I do consider the bible to actually be a founding document of the US, insomuch as it teaches "rules for thee and not for me" and "ask too many questions of authority and you get beaten". And not much else.
Ok you can call me an edge-lord now.
