The resentment and subtle activism you display makes you as guilty as
the "hate-filled, ignorant religious assholes" that you despise.

The bottom line is you have the right to ignore them, same as anyone
else who do not believe in their preachings. Conversely, those who
choose to believe have an equal right to do so.

Not much can be jammed down your throat if you keep your mouth shut.





Oh, really? Try explaining that to a woman in Texas denied access to
women's health resources because the assholes who run that state decided
allowing that access would be in violation of their religious beliefs.


Why are you concerned with who is elected in Texas and the beliefs of
those who elected them? You live in Maryland, last I knew.


1. Religious ignorance spreads like cancer. Texas sends legislators to
Washington, D.C., and some of those legislators try to infect the rest
of their country with their sicknesses.

2. The women of Texas are being oppressed by their ignorant lawmakers.
Texas is still part of the United States, for the moment, anyway, and I
think it behooves us to try to eliminate oppression in this country. I
was concerned with the blatant segregation and oppression of blacks in
the South during the middle part of the last century, and I am concerned
about the oppression of gays in this country now. Just because it is
Texas that is a septic tank of oppression doesn't mean it is ok for me
to ignore it because I live in a different state.



You have my permission to ignore everything that doesn't concern you.
Now be a good boy and go round up all of those past due tax bills and go
pay them.
