Will Religious Freedom Continue to Ring?

via Will Religious Freedom Continue to Ring?

If America persecutes Christians so badly, she should try living in Pakistan, Iran, or North Korea. THEN she can grouse  & kvetch about persecution & ” oppression “, etc.

Oddly enough, in half a heartbeat, these same folks would start a theocracy where no differing opinions, views or expressions thereof would be tolerated. But Christians should be given a free pass, I guess…..

Trust me, any group would get the same ” no confidence ” vote from me – Religious, extreme Dawkins atheist, neo – Conservative, Uber – Liberal or extreme vegan. Religious extremists get little to no sympathy from me even in the U.S. Bible Belt anymore than any other group.

Black Conspiracy Theory 101: Did Chick-fil-A’s President Say ‘We Don’t Like Blacks Either’?

I really have no idea what to think about this. Contemporary media seems to think that depicting Southern U.S. ” Bible Belt ” companies & groups as ” racist ” & homophobic as well as mega – Conservative ( & I have known & do presently some Southerners who are extremely Conservative, like in my own family ) can boost readership / viewership.

Chick – fil – a makes a TASTY ( If somewhat cholesterol – laden ) line of poultry – based items, but ever since my big move in ’08, I haven’t seen a Chick – Fil – A, nor do I really miss them. & I’m trying to eat healthier, too. So, unless one opens up a couple of blocks away, I’m not going to stress about boycotting them.

What bothers me is that the founders & managers are – or at least CLAIM to be – Christian conservatives espousing family values. The last time I checked, homophobia & racism were DEFINITELY NOT Christian family values. Unless you were a Tea Party member or member of the Religious Right. If so, they probably support Donald & Ted, too.

& if one DOES open up a block or 2 away, I’m not going, because of their closed – minded views & the cholesterol levels, tasty though their fast – food treats may seem.

Republicans Refuse To Condemn Saudi and American Evangelical Religious Police As ‘ISIS-Like’

I have NO room for ISIS extremists, Christian hyper – Evangelicals on steroids who want to turn the U.S. into ” Jesus – Land ” & ostracize everyone who ISN’T a WASP Christian ( Or at least programmed with their particular version of Protestant Fundamentalist Christianity & xenophobic distrust / hatred. ) or the ” Extreme ” atheists who believe that everyone who believes in things unseen & unmeasurable are poor mindless, blind, deluded sheep – or maybe lemmings.

Peace symbol-wearing Muslim girl to Trump: I heard you wanted us to wear badges so I chose one for myself

You tell him, girl ! Making a good choice of symbols aimed at that deluded fascist nut – case.
Too bad the GOP puts so much weight on division & mindless paranoia. Things could’ve been SO different for them if they embraced unity & sanity.
