The man accused of assassinating the top Democrat in the Minnesota House held deeply religious and politically conservative views, telling a congregation in Africa two years ago that the U.S. was in a “bad place” where most churches didn’t oppose abortion.

      Remember, this is second, third, maybe fourth-hand information. Consuming it and taking it seriously is like eating a used rubber you found in a public restroom. (Epistemologically speaking)

            Sure, that’s the human condition, you do it too, you’re doing it right now, but I also am informed on current events and history that inform me outside of my own biases. Just turns out religious conservatives consistently and regularly do way more fucked up shit than most others, and secular people seem to get along much better socially and psychologically.

            I’ve never had the issue, as a non religious or conservative person, of feeling obligated to defend child rape nor domestic terrorism, but you do you, boo.

              Yes, all of you say it in chorus now. “We are all well informed, self aware, free thinking and rational.”

              The fact that you opine in lockstep is clearly the product of nothing but right-think.

                Some of us are capable of that, as much as it seems like a far fetched non reality to you, it is very much possible to show objectivity and judge religious conservatism in a negative light.

                Also, both religious and conservative beliefs independently of one another are literally opining in lockstep, that’s their whole schtick, so you’re attacking yourself far more than anyone else.
