22. I try to be sensitive to Freedom of Religion and then
Thu Mar 27, 2025, 06:24 PM
Mar 2025

I read a story like this. How in the world can anybody associate themselves with a religion that not only allows this but promotes this punitive behavior in the name of God. How is it different than Republican's blind fealty to a felon that is an assaulter of women and punisher of innocent people.
What does it take for a person to forgoe their common sense and human decency to punish a woman that has just experienced a traumatic moment in her life. Even if it was purposeful, which I'm not saying it was.
If I, an actual human being told anybody, the police, the state of Georgia to arrest and detain somebody for pruning a rose bush because it has life, you would ignore me. But, because this entity that exists in only your mind has given you rules that are made up by other people and you are told by other people to punish those that break the make believe rules made by people on behalf of a made up entity, that, you decide, yeah, that sounds right.
Please people, think. I understand a need to turn to a higher power for comfort but not a need to create a made up entity that speaks through me to control and punish society.
Take care of yourselves.
