Indiana Launches Anti-LGBTQ "Snitch Line," Users Flood With Memes In Protest - Lemmy Today

No end to the stupid things US politicians will spend money on.
To be clear, this is a cristofascist Republican politician doing this.

That’s the crazy thing, there’s too many of them. It also sits in a very stark contrast to what I learned about the requirement to cover up other people’s flaws and sins.

It is neither permissible to spy on the Muslims nor to reveal their faults because Allah says (what means): {And do not spy.} [Quran 49:12]. I’m not well versed in Christianity but shouldn’t snitching be a sin in itself?

When to Conceal the Faults of Others

I was listening to some Islamic lectures about concealing faults of others so these questions came to my mindWhat to do if we are witness of someones sin who tried to do it privately but somehow got exposed and was seen by people For example drinking wine or zina in secluded space like his car Noting that the sinner does not hold a bad reputation in society and did not had the intention of doing it publicly but still some people saw it because it is easy to catch someone doing something sinful Can we advise that person to repent sincerely and hide hisher sins from other people who dont know about or should we punish that kind of person by reporting it And if that person is ready to give up his sins and turn Allah for forgiveness Will Allah forgive him And secondly if someone is very notorious in character and has no shame in committing sin publicly but is then guided by Allah and he wants to repent For example a high way robber having illicit relationship with girls heavy drinker etc Will ALLAH accept his repentance without application of any Islamic punishment on him obviously before

Pretty sure this would fall under the several parables in Christianity where Jesus or God basically tells people that exacting judgement for biblical sin is the domain and privilege of God alone and that it’s not the job of people to act on it.

But if Christians didn’t get pushback for being terrible to people they wouldn’t feel persecuted and they all want to suffer somehow to feel like they are Christ-like themselves. The Bible is very much written from the perspective of having it’s work cut out to be radical upheaval of the status quo. I don’t think there was much thought that they would basically recreate the structures they were fighting against by becoming economically as powerful as nobility. When you really start digging everything from the expectation of extreme celebacy to the idea that giving money to the church is a virtue that should be rewarded with respect and prestige in the church isn’t Jesus… It’s Paul. The notoriously power hungry guy who who fell off a horse, hit his head on a rock and hallucinated Jesus.

Without Paul there is no Christianity. The James community got wiped out. What’s more without Paul there is no Bible either.

27 books and 13 attributed to him alone. Of the remaining only 5 are popularly referenced. Of those five 1 is Jesus recast in the mold of Paul (Mark) and the other is about the merry adventures of Paul. Since John copied Luke, Luke copied Matthew, and Matthew copied Mark even the parts about Jesus aren’t really about him.

You don’t know what Jesus really said, you can’t even confirm the man existed.

Here is the truth and I am sorry it hurts. Your god is made in your image. The Jesus you like tells us a lot about you and nothing about what really happened. If you are a SJW type then Jesus is one, if you are an authority type than Jesus is one as well, revolutionary, closeted homosexual, enlightened being who knows about aliens, into peace, into diversity, into charity, into institution building… There are as many Jesus’ as there are people who worship him. The greatest Rorschach test ever made.

What religion hurt you?
What did I say that was factually wrong?
