(58,647 posts)but I think a little religious persecution is what we need in this country. Not violence, of course, but fierce opposition to any law that is based solely on religous grounds. Right now, that seems to stretch the gamut from abortion/women's health (of course) to taxation and wealth distribution.
It's time to take the religous bullshit out and beat it in the square of common sense and reason. There is a reason they called it the "Enlightenment." It's because it was a ray of sunshine consisting of reason and rationality coming to a world that had been darkened by centuries of religous opposition to common science based on observation and rational inquiry.
Sorry to the religous supporters around here. I don't wan to shut any real chuches down, but the 'religious' hucksters need to be exposed for the money grubbing charlatans and hypocrites that they are and their power stripped from them completely.
