Should religion stay in the area of spirituality, and not influence politics?

Laws are something everyone in a state or country has to follow; religion is not.

It’s hard for me to fathom that I once believed that god sent his son (who is also himself) to save the people he created (knowing they would one day sin) from a consequence he created, by sacrificing himself as a blood offering to fulfill a requirement that he also made. 😳

You are free to hold onto and find comfort in your beliefs the same way I am allowed to see the bigotry and oppression by the same beliefs.

“You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” ~Anne Lamott

So why are christians deciding what rights people have? You know, the ones spewing "marriage is between Adam and Eve- not Adam and Steve." 🙄

Impossible to do. As the people believe so the laws reflect.

No, the majority of people are not brainwashed and delusional. Try again.

Your inability to accept that a person could read the same book as you, thoroughly, and walk away with different thoughts is telling. Continue with your idiocy and I will block you. People like you bore me.

@ElwoodBlues Because a moron like you can't understand what is plainly written does not make the statement stupid. It means the moron reading it can't understand it.
@hippyjoe1955 Poor dippyjoe gets angry when censorship & cancellation aren't options! You have to deal with freedom of speech, so sad, LOL!!!

People believed for thousands of years that the Earth was flat. Those beliefs didn't change the shape one iota!
