24. This is ridiculous.
Sat Jun 27, 2026, 10:01 AM
Saturday

The hedonist president wants to use religion to get support for his agenda. We don't need a bridge. The government will not stop you from following your religion. Nothing more is needed. I am getting so sick of religion being pushed at non-believers. Nothing will ever convince me that eternal, invisible, all-knowing beings, with magical powers of creation exist. They want their religion in public schools so they can get the kids hooked before they are old enough to question it. When nobody questions it, they are free to abuse it and profit from it.
