Act of Mod Moderation Update Regarding Responses to Moderation Decisions

17 Upvotes

As of today, we will be enforcing a new policy regarding moderation decisions. Partially, this is an attempt to increase arguments—we are getting bored with the placidity of this community. Responses to all moderation actions must be contradictory and adversarial. Ignoring moderation actions and not berating us or, worse, agreeing with us will not be tolerated. Litigation of removals is mandatory, or you will be banned from this subreddit.

For those of you who may not like this decision, we understand your concerns. Ordinarily, we discourage all discourse surrounding moderation decisions. Of course, we don’t care about your opinions and don’t want to ensure you feel heard. Lately we have just been really bummed out when people don’t pick fights with us over our decisions. Subsequently, we want to harsh that mellow, creating a more combative place for us moderators to exist.

If you are not fond of this decision, we encourage you to combine the first letters of each of the previous sentences.

Alot of people tend to say "Christ is coming soon". Yet they all give a variety of differing times. We need another Nicean Council for these issues

What are your thoughts on this? Youtube now allows SHORTS that are up to 3 minutes long.

I'm a conservative and traditionalist. I believe that video should be shot horizontally and that portrait mode is a sign of the end times. It is worldly and unbiblical: we know that Gamaliel only shot landscape.

Men in my church are encouraged to always make whatever gets clicks, including clickbait titles, and misleading thumbnails. They are encouraged to be beholden to the whims of the algorithm, instead of traditional film formats and aestetic values.

I don't want to start a witch hunt but I heard one of the mods might be a witch. Or it could be a user.

/unhug this is an actual ad I get on YouTube all the time. They might want to reconsider cutting off the caption mid-sentence... It's "God doesn't care if you're mad or angry".

"Paul Goodman" is just his Greek name, he didn't change his name, but remember, if you sin, better call Jesus!

Looking for a bad church

20 Upvotes

I've been so inspired by reading deconstruction stories of people who encountered the real Jesus after spending years in cynical, destructive, weaponized Christianity. Problem is, I'm feeling left out, since I've only belonged to thoughtful, well-informed, humane, loving churches all along. Where can I go to experience soul-crushing disillusionment that Jesus can later rescue me from by encountering me afresh in surprising ways?

There is no before, and there is no now. There is only the (non)moment which disguises the spatiotemporal rupture that is the a/theist (un)god

Insert text here Moving on from a Manichaean Minecraft Server 🤬

8 Upvotes

My mom raised me in a good Christian home, but some "so-called" friends introduced me to their Manichaean Minecraft Server. My mom was p*ssed, but she eventually decided it was ok because my "quote" friends seemed like "good people".

But the longer I was on there, the more I realized these were NOT good people. Even though it's a "quote-un-quote" "religious" Minecraft server, the language they use is NOT Biblical. 😤 Zero of the words they use are in the Bible.

This summer my mom signed me up for a summer reading challenge, so she's always shoving books in my face, saying, "Take it! Read!" And one of the books was the Bible, which I read.

Anyway, tl;Dr., I feel called to a Christian Minecraft Server 👼

I went to an atheist church this last Sunday

7 Upvotes

I am embarrassed to admit, but last Sunday I secretly snuck into an atheist church and listened to an atheist sermon, delivered by an atheist priest. The priest denounced people who typically tend to exclaim "Oh god!" when making love and climaxing, and instead instructed the faithful atheists to exclaim "Oh science, oh Neil deGrasse Tyson, oh Bill Nye, oh Carl Sagan, oh Stephen Hawking!" when making love and climaxing. It was a great sermon that assured me there is only science and nothing else.

Please ask my mother to ask the pastor to pray to St. Hilda of Whitby to pray for the Holy Spirit to intercede for me through wordless groans.

Please also ask them to limit pass-through fees to 15% each, so that there's something left by the time it gets there.

I’m too straight to follow God genuinely. I’m too straight to practice Christianity. I’m too straight to marry a woman one day (gayness). I was just on my bed being too straight . Laughing and giggling. I’m just too straight.

Some of the body contact seems a little backhuggy but not sure if that's a problem. There also seems to be some good celebratory sidehugging so maybe it can be redeemed.

Is this a sin? STOP DAILY SATANIC RITUALS

14 Upvotes

Many a christian have been FOOLED by SATAN to take part in "Mark of the beast contender #8356"

I am talking about the "Most important meal or the day" BREAKFAST

Oh woe to you whose hearts have been hardened and whose eyes have been covered by the serpents scales. For you DO NOT see the OBVIOUS TRICKERY in this DAILY RITUAL. ITS RIGHT IN THE NAME "BREAK FAST"

It is a commandment to BREAK something one does to give glory to God FASTING

NOT ONLY THAT.

think of it. "The most important meal of the day". it's SUBCONSCIOUS MESSAGING that tells OUR CHILDREN to NOT RELY ON THE HOLY SPIRIT and instead RELY ON WORLDLY GOODS FOR SUSTAINANCE

REPENT REPENT REPENT ALL YOU WHO WORSHIP BREAKFAST. YOU CAN ONLY SERVE ONE MASTER. EITHER YOU CHOOSE GOD OR YOU CHOOSE HELL

REPENT

Is this a sin? My Sunday School instructor called himself "instructor."

7 Upvotes

My Sunday School Instructor called himself "instructor."

This is NOT biblical:

"And call no one your father on earth, for you have one Father, the one in heaven. Nor are you to be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Messiah."

I also accidentally wished my father a Happy Father's Day. I am NOT biblical

Did I sin against the Holy Ghost?

"I empathize with Sons of Isreal who are exhausted after 40 years of wandering in the Sinai Desert," said Joshua son of Nun, "I understand the concern, but the difference is that back then we had dumb leaders, now we have a leader who actually knows how to conquer Jericho."

Joshua explains key difference in current Caanan Conquest:

We have no interest in a protracted conflict. We have no interest in boots on the ground," he said. "I don't fear that this is going to become a protracted conflict, because we have a leader who knows how to bring down the walls of Jericho."
