      Have you ever met someone who was a renowned sloppy drunk who would just be generally awful any time they started? Like the alcohol gives them carte blanche to be an asshole because it’s a bit of social cover?

      Same thing here. Religion is (very much) not for me, but I can see how people could use it to foster a sense of community and self-reflection. But some people use it as an excuse to be their worst selves, and instead of using that magnifying glass to examine their (and frankly the Bible’s) morality, they use it to burn and scar the people around them.

      The religion is the cover that they use, just like the nasty drunk used alcohol.

      But he’s read his (upside down) Bible and can totally name his favorite verse, but doesn’t want to, because the Bible is soooo personal to him and he’s totally read it, honest. The best people are saying Trump loves Bible, everyone is saying it

    When a room full of 6 year olds gets massacred the Founders were VERY CLEAR about their intentions but when it comes to forcing Christianity on everyone there’s a LOT of WIGGLE ROOM! Also I’m a Pro Life Republican trying to Protect The Children!
