Reply #65: bogus, it's all so bogus, and, I used to tolerate it better

[Raised_In_The_Wild]

I used to tolerate the bogus religion thing better than I do now. The mayor and his wife used to come to dinner, and insist on holding hands and praying before dinner. I just put up with it. It sort of felt they way you feel when you bring the kids to see Santa at the mall, as if you are humoring their little fantasy. So, I used to humor their little fantasy. But now that christo-fascisim is sinking in, I find that I can't invite the mayor and his wife to dinner anymore, I have had to sweep all the ultra religious types who I used to tolerate completely out of my life. I just can't stand by and allow all their silly delusions to become laws in this land. Their absurd marriage protection acts. My marriage isn't in any danger. I don't care if two lesbians do get married and buy the house next door. I will still not be leaving my handsome husband to join them. And their nonsense anti abortion posture. It is not the government's business to tell women what to do with their own bodies. If you don't like abortion, don't have one but get your religion off my body! Rapist fascists. Now in Virginia there is a bill in the State House making it a felony if you have a miscarriage and don't report it as a "fetal demise" within 12 hours. That's just bullshit, and we have christo-fascism to thank for it. Then there is the "faith-based initiative" which robs the tax coffers serving up Jesus with the soup in the only soup kitchens there are, and at the same time, these enormously wealthy tax free organizations called churches engage in politics from the pulpit. These bastards swore poverty and greedily amassed glutinous wealth, then took tax free status, then played politics. Fuck 'em and the cross they road in on! Baby, I am pissed! Now I feel I was wrong to ever be silently tolerant of the bogus god delusions going on around me. I will no longer socialize with persons who are not quite sane. Some of the friends I dumped for being delusional ask me when we can get together, when I see them around town. I am always very, very busy. So sorry.
