- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.

The wild thing is that they were always going to turn on the Mormons. The evangelicals fucking hate the LDS Church, and they've been pretty candid about that for a long time. But the Mormons so badly wanted to be in the conservative Christian gang they convinced themselves they would always be accepted.
The evangelicals treated the Mormons like useful idiots. Now they think they have no use for them. So they've become just idiots.
This right here is the shit I've been waiting for. They'll turn on Catholics soon enough and I'm shocked Jehovah's Witnesses exist in the list at all since there's literally no members allowed to do anything in the military not even non-combat. Evangelicals aren't even a homogenous group in and of themselves, consisting of the likes of Baptists and Pentecostals who disagree strongly about... certain things.
They all used to piss and bitch and fight each other all the time. Seems they realized they were all headed for the dustbin of history recently, but I knew it couldn't last forever...
Exactly. Catholics will be next. Then Orthodox and Coptic church members, and yeah the JWs. Oh, and the liberal Lutherans and Episcopalians too.
And then the evangelicals will start cannibalizing each other. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if some of them unify into a single church that worships Trump as a prophet (profit? Haha), and that group viciously takes down any other evangelicals still standing.
Hopefully things don't get to that point.
Amen
My great grandmother was part of a Pentacostal church that split in half over a single bible verse. But they were both still speaking in tongue after the split.
Catholics are up soon. Evangelicals will flat out try and convert them since they are not Christians.
