I gotta agree with cartoon Bernie on this one. Here in Utah the three big concerns of our upcoming legislative session are: how to ban more transgender people from public restrooms, how to prosecute women who may have had an abortion at anytime in the past, and how to ensure colleges and universities can no longer encourage diversity, equity, or inclusion under criminal penalty. I'm not joking, those are the main focuses of the upcoming session.
Never mind that homelessness is out of control, housing prices are through the roof, drug addiction is at an all time high, and the great Salt lake is now nothing but a mud puddle that will dry up in five years' time.
More important to score political points with your witless white-ass cronies and mormon shit heads.
Mormons also believe horses existed in North America prior to the Spanish bringing them over. All because a dude who wanted to marry his adopted daughter made some shit up about some golden plates.
The whole Mormon religion is as baseless and nonsensical as a Dr. Seuss story, only more silly. And it's really just a big business, it rakes in money from idiots dumb enough to give up 10% of their income to a cult. I keep telling them, I'm willing to do it for less - all I ask if 5% of your income and you can TA DA suddenly have eternal salvation, and more underage kids to fuck than a weekend with Jeff Dahmer. (!)
You have good energy. Consider adding every other religion to your Dr. Seuss comparison. Religion has poisoned geopolitics for far too long.
I agree totally. I do consider all religion to be poison, or as Marx (I think) said, the opioid of the masses. But really, it's no more or less terrible than any big business that strips people of their personal freedom and demands fealty and money in return.
Well, there were North American "horses," they just all died out around 11,400 years ago, so well after the aboriginals got here, but a bit before the Spanish.
Sure and camels too
Just wanted to note, Oklahoma just passed a similar law (this link is to a news article, which includes a link to the bill itself).
One thing that's crazy to me is when they go on about how much money universities are spending on these programs, when here in Oklahoma it's 0.29% of all higher education spending and 0.11% of state expenditures on higher education.
Shit sucks right now, and I dunno where my home state is headed. It's hard to tell if things will get better or worse in the long run.
Whatever the case, stay strong over there. o7
