My personal religion is "Try to not be an asshole". It's not that hard but admittedly I sometimes fail. No heaven, no hell, no fear of punishment, no guilt, no savior, no one to worship, no one to fear, just try to not be an asshole 😁

And when I fail, as we all do, do your best and try again.

I was 8 years old when Reagan made Aids, a disease for "those" people we started down this road. Those people are our brothers and sisters and aunts and uncles and boyfriends and girlfriends, so people, but they never sold it that way.

Your religious beliefs need to go beyond what they are currently doing

Being Human came first, if you don't want to make a cake, don't sell cakes

If you REALLY think a certain percentage of the population has the same advantages as all the others, why have we only had one non white president, EVER and why no female....ETC old white dudes do not need to rule everything all the time, let it go

There never was a time when human decency ruled in America.
