    “1 in 4 high school students identifies as something other than straight- what are they being taught in school?

    Maybe that they don’t need to hide who they really are now?

          Most homophobia comes from straight people. Closeted self hating gay people are not a voting bloc. If every LGBT person in the country was closeted and self hating they still wouldn’t be a large voting bloc.

          Don’t blame homophobia on queer people.

    I don’t believe in God, but man, Republicans do a bang up job of making them look like a raging asshole unworthy of anyone’s worship.

    If this is what the Christian God is actually like, Lucifer had the right idea.

      When you read about Lucifer you quickly realize he wasn’t evil, he was more of a freedom fighter. The Christian God acts like a dictator. God tells everyone that God is good. Everyone has to do what God says otherwise you get God’s wrath and punishment. Everyone who stands up against God is evil and punished. God tell people to do terrible things to show their devotion. There is no democracy in God’s kingdom.

      These are all attributes of dictators. If people don’t do what they say then they are killed, hurt and their families as well. They make people kill other people and do other terrible things to prove their devotion. They spread propaganda against the people standing up against their regime. They make themselves out as the good guys.

      Lucifer stood up against God’s tyranny and was made out to be the bad guy. That is my point of view.

        Or in this case, tortured for literally eternity with the most horrifying pain imaginable, with no chance of escape or respite, in an unimaginable forever of suffering.

        Because he loves you.

          …and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow, (snaps fingers), just can’t handle money!

    Why does he hate America so much he’s calling for divine retribution? Thats something Osama bin Laden would have said.

      Christian Nationalists are quite similar to Islamic Terrorists in their beliefs. Other than a few minor customs and the language, it’s the same. Islam is a branch of Christianity after all.

      Conservatives are such creepy weirdos when it comes down to it. The cons in America have a lot in common with the likes of OBL when it gets down to it. Both are part of an Abrahamic cult and worship the same god, even if one group tends to call that god Allah. Of course they differ on a few things like rituals and the story arc of the character of Jesus in the Abrahamic Cinematic Universe. But on many of their so-called “morals”, they tend to agree.

    I was promised that the COVID vaccine would make all my blood congeal. I’ve thus far have made it to promises of “God will punish us” without one hint of life threatening coagulation.

    Ok, so leave it up to God then. If he’s such a tough guy, then the US government doesn’t need to make policy to protect these LGBTQ+ heathens, the big man will take care of it.

    Be great if someone could hack into his CovenantKeeper or whatever the weird-ass porn tracker him and his son bond over, incest-style
