The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

I believe that Scripture, the Bible is very clear that God is the one that raises up those in authority.

I'm not sure which would be worse: that he didn't think this claim through to its logical conclusion, or that he did and didn't see the problem.

Right? How many mass-murdering psychopaths has God raised up in authority? What an idiot.
