America doesn't need more God. It needs more atheists.

119. I'm some kind of Social Justice Warrior Catholic heretic. I don't feel driven away from this place.

My personal grudge is against anti-intellectualism. That comes in both religious and ideological packaging.

I've met too many atheists who have rejected the gods of their anti-intellectual childhood religions but kept all the filthy baggage that came with those religions.

Likewise I've met people who have turned to religion because they are intellectually lazy and crave some outside authority to make difficult decisions for them or forgive them their trespasses.

As a human being you can't pretend to exist outside of the social communities that are part of you. We humans are social creatures, it's in our genes.

The first President I actively campaigned for and voted for was Jimmy Carter. He is a very religious person who took the very best of his religious upbringing and left the ugly baggage behind. Joe Biden is another President I'm proud to support.
