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!

Unfortunately I've heard this exact refrain from at least one small town Christian couple up here in the northeast
I get these vibes, too, from some of the increasingly trad-aestheticized Catholics I grew up with, which is actually antithetical to the actual stance of the Catholic church which is, y'know, science and God go hand in hand, evolution is real, big bang happened , etc, etc
Edit: like suddenly those Catholics are ALL ABOUT demons and learning about demons. One was trying to tell me Labubus are based on Chinese demons and I blurted out "oh you believe in their demons too? Like not just Christian demons but ones from Eastern tradition as well" dude did not understand what I was asking so I dropped it to not be too much a dick
Stop doing that. These fuckwads need to be called out on their bullshit way more than they are.
I forgot JD was a convert to Catholicism. The 'father' of Big Bang Theory was a Catholic priest
George Mendel, arguably the father of genetics, was a Catholic priest too
Wasn't he a monk?
To be fair you don't need to believe a thing "demons" is real to believe someone based a product on it.
