How very christ-like of them...

Religion is a cancer, and needs to be expunged.

Yes because if you somehow managed to destroy religion, a concept probably older than human beings, suddenly all those shitheads would gain morals and just stop being shitty. Easy peasy. It's definitely not that shitty people use any excuse to be shitty that they can latch onto, nope, not that. Religion caused their shittiness and all we have to do is destroy it.

Fuckhead, I don't care about your spirituality, I care about you being soft in the head and following what the preacherman tells you about other people.

Religion is a tool for control, for the stupid to suspend their cognitive functions, to other some and sow division and to be used for concentrating power.

If you can't see that, don't bother replying, I'll just make fun of you s'more for being a pudding.

Genius, I have no spirituality. Just common fucking sense in place of sophomoric rage

Good luck with your very grounded and possible goal of removing religion from society though.

[–] greyscale@lemmy.grey.ooo 2 points 1 month ago

Ah yes, lets do nothing and let it propagate forever, for removing the skydaddy story is completely impossible and unthinkable.

I called the EEOC this morning, and got the number for their Communications office: 202-921-3191

You can't talk to an actual person on this line, but you can let them know what you think about them no longer processing gender-based complaints for any member of the Christian Employers Alliance in perpetuity

Why should we tolerate Christianity if this is how they treat us?
