2. just because people have some screwy beliefs doesn't mean they aren't educated about science

We have some pretty screwy people right here in the USA wanted to burn Harry Potter books. Right wingers said for years Bill Clinton was the Anti Christ. Then they said President Obama was the 'dark horse' mentioned in Revelations that would usher in the
Apocalypse. They now say Trump is led by God to save this nation. We have groups of people wanting to kill minorities, Jews, Muslims, and anyone that isn't heterosexual. These nuts do things in the name of their religion all the damn time they just do not stamp their religion in front of their name like they do to Muslims.
I think living in ANY theocracy would SUCK big time. This is why I want the right wing out. No nation should be governed by ANY religion. Do you know that my step mothers father who was a Southern Baptist thought Catholics had horns under their hair? Yeah he though they had horn nubs under their hair because he was taught they 'preached for the devil." We got all kinds of nutty religious shit right here in our own yard. I don't think we have earned the right to feel too superior when we now have gays afraid for their lives, blacks and latinos afraid for their lives, and Muslims and Jews afraid for their lives.

I don't get to vote in Saudi Arabia . I can't do a damn thing about them living in a theocracy. I live here and we have plenty to worry about right here. The right wing supports all the nuts in America & it has got to go.
