Felonies Trump is an outlier and should not be counted.

(I accidentally liked this while trying to quote it and still feel icky about it.) With anti-LGBT+ bigotry being more prominent than racism at the moment, this is an even more absurd question than it would have been in other times and places.

Which is bad because it means all you have to do to get "forgiven" (as if anyone other than the person actually wronged has any right or ability to do that) by a church is to say you've prayed about it. And the toxic part is that they then shame victims if they don't forgive those who hurt them...

Blaming "the Palestinians" for Hamas is no different than blaming "the Jews" for what the Israeli government does. A majority of the Palestinian people are simply more concerned with getting Israel to stop occupying land outside its recognized borders than with what happens to Israel itself...

Soma Cruz already did that

First, Christianity and Islam both have their share of bigots who hate everyone who doesn't belong to their own religion. (Other religions have people like this too, but not nearly as many.) And the people who are most-hated by any Christian who's a generic religious bigot and not specifically...
