I think you’ve kinda missed the lede - religious fanatics. We’ve got plenty of those. Other western countries have quite a few religious people, but they aren’t often in-your-face cross wearing, “I’m a Christian”, openly judgy Karens like they are here.
Evangelism in America is a major problem that needs to be addressed. The sooner religion is snuffed out the faster we can begin to build community based on real life.
Look at the nutjobs that were the backbone of what became America. Basically a bunch of puritan nutjobs who didn’t like how laissez faire England was becoming so they hopped on the boat to America so they could make their puritanical paradise.
Y’all are just noticing it now which is a failure of the education system. Then again we already know this.
The puritans were run out of England after how badly they ran it during the interregum. It was the Netherlands from whence they fled religious tolerance.

I specified religious fanatics because they’re the problem, not religious people in general.

Thoughts and prayers to America 🙏🏾
You’re not wrong. It wasn’t for “freedom of religion”, it was for freedom of their religion.
Yup. They fled to escape religious persecution and then promptly did it themselves when they got here.

in Europe, someone tells me their are Christian or are wearing a cross, it’s no big deal.
in the US, it’s a massive red flag
Over there it’s usually as part of a conversation. Here it’s a cudgel.
Fuck you, Jerry Falwell. Fuck you.
I hope Joel Osteen dies tomorrow
You’re right, they misspelled fuckheads.
