Read this today in the Bible
Isaiah 24:1-3 NIV See, the Lord is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants— it will be the same for priest as for people, for the master as for his servant, for the mistress as for her servant, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. The earth will be completely laid waste and totally plundered. The Lord has spoken this word.
Global warming, MAD, political polarization, overdue caldera, plastics, rise of the oligarchy, loss of personal property rights, solar flares, extraterrestrial objects, I'm tired of listing but I'm sure I've missed a bunch.
Perhaps it's meant to be. Maybe the scale has tipped too far in the wrong direction. Humans haven't existed very long on a global scale, but already we've left scars.
The Bible went on and said,
Isaiah 24:5-6 NIV The earth is defiled by its people; they have disobeyed the laws, violated the statutes and broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt.
SIDE NOTE: If a post on "unpopular opinions" gets 87% downvotes, does that mean it's truly unpopular, and therefore successful?
Or does that mean it's being downvoted because it's actually a popular opinion?
I'm the top mod here, and I don't even know 😆
Should I post a poll to ask the community about getting rid of the voting guidelines?
Edit: Posted a poll and featured it in the community.
I think most people don't understand how this sub is supposed to work. It's very frustrating and I don't envy your job!
I do think clarification is in order. But I sure don't want to rock the boat; it's a community I want to have around!
It just kind of amused me. You don't have to follow up in any way, it was sort of rhetorical question.
I've been thinking about bringing it up for a vote for a while now and just kept forgetting. That side note was a reminder and seemed like a good jumping off point.
That's fine. In my case I mentioned a Bible quote, and that's going to get you downvotes no matter what you say.
Yeah, lol. Like, I'm an atheist but I'm also not a dick about it haha. You clearly weren't proselytizing with the post, so I have no problems with it.
