    They are finally realizing they aren’t (never have been) christians in practice and that the christian bible is no longer vicious enough to support their behavior. I wonder if they have even enough self-awareness to be cognizant of that fact as they set out to assemble new doctrine and new deities that conform to their belief system.

    I’m all for getting rid of religion entirely, but I think I’d be perfectly happy if christians just behaved more christ-like.

      Hey, that’s literally what happened with the Nazis. They started off as “supporters” of the Christian faith before suddenly revealing that they wanted a vastly more violent religion.

        This is why we desperately need separation of church and state. We’ve supposedly had this concept for centuries, but I feel like we’ve been losing ground lately.
