    You say that like the fact that America’s long history of religious tyranny isn’t a problem. Like yeah I know people in the past have used religion to justify their horrendous and monstrous rulings. Yeah I know the Bible was used to help commit the genocide of the native peoples. Yeah I know the Bible was used to justify slavery. Yeah I know the Bible was used to justify murdering striking workers. Yeah I knew the Bible was used to brutalize and subjugate women. Yeah I know the Bible was used to justify the extermination of the handicapped. Etc… However, I don’t give a fuck about that because the Bible is nonsense written by a bunch of Bronze Age goat fuckers. I don’t want it shaping my life in any way whatsoever.
