    Ohh, so when I say, “I don’t believe in god” and you still force your Christian morality on me that’s OK. When you “don’t believe” in a real tangible thing that helps countless numbers of people you can just hand wave that away.

    Good to know the douche bag demographic is still overly represented in every facet of American life.

      When these jerks talk about “freedom”, they don’t mean it in the sense that normal people think about it. Normal people think freedom means that I, as a free citizen in a secular nation, can ignore the xtian cult’s demands on what I’m required to do if I so wish, but governments (local and federal) may seek to provide services for their citizens.

      For them, “freedom” means they get to dictate that everyone bend the knee to their little book club and other people’s kids starve so that taxes are as low as possible (for the rich - regressive taxes on the poor and middle class can be high AF).
