General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Hence why I made sure to point out that it's much better written than the source material it's based on.

Just because Aslan is basically Jesus as a lion doesn't mean that atheists like you and myself can't enjoy it ๐Ÿคท

Okay, that point is clear but, again, to what degree the author of the Harry Potter series being an atheist prevents her from enjoying the Narnia Chronicles as just a fantasy series?

We're both atheists and we managed. Although you were able to read more between the lines; for me, the talking lion was just that.

Unless FlyingSquid is married to JK Rowling, nobody said whether or not the author of HP is an atheist ๐Ÿคท

In fact, a quick search reveals that the transphobic ass is a Christian herself.

Squids. Too close to Chthulu to be trusted.

Being calles untrustworthy or being related to Chthulu?

[โ€“] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I may be untrustworthy but that dude is an ASSHOLE.

[โ€“] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. After all, Chthulu wants to destroy the universe and plunge everything into the infinite chaos.
