    Hmmmm ... according to a FOXNEWS video, the decline
    of religion in the USA is a "leadership problem".

    How about a CREDIBILITY problem ???

    The old gods live in fewer and fewer gaps these
    days. More people are finally coming to the
    conclusion that religions are just fairy tales
    for grownups to scare 'em into being good little
    sheep for the holy masters.

    yes. why would/should anyone living in today, with the benefit of the
    sum of mankind's knowledge from all that has gone before, choose to live
    their lives by what some ancients wrote and believed centuries ago? it
    makes no sense.

    The fact that religions have problems, does
    not mean we live in an - amoral Universe.

    for grownups to scare 'em into being good little
    sheep for the holy masters.

    So cast off all religion, then you may give
    free reign to your unbridled wickedness.

    But there is the, "cause/effect" issue.

    You will reap what you sow.

    When do you think the Bible stories

    Because people have been digging up this stuff across

    Some of the Republican positions I find disgusting and abhorrent.
    Most of the Democratic positions I find terrifying.

    Whatever it takes - Stop the Democrats.

    The most dangerous enemies the United States has:

    Biden the Senile Bastard and his Bitch and
    supported by the Sluts and Pimps including
    Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez,
    Ayanna Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, Jamaal Bowman,
    Cori Bush, Adam Schiff, Maxine Waters, Jerry Nadler,
    Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Cory Booker. They
    have stepped over the line and are working against
    the country and what it stands for.

    Stop the Green Raw Deal!

    I dare call it treason.

    Do not work with them but oppose everything they attempt.

    Abortion should be like any other medical procedure
