Get fucked religious people, I’m sick of your delusional life. Go somewhere else and fuck it all up, you aren’t wanted here.
Problem is that people can no longer tell the difference between evangelical Christians and the Republican Party. Evangelicals complain that Christians are hated and persecuted. But people don't hate Christians and they certainly don't want to persecute anyone. However, many people hate the Republican Party. And when you can't tell the difference between the Republican Party and evangelicals, they are hit with hate by proxy.

"The AP VoteCast survey shows that 81% of White evangelical Protestant voters went for Trump this year, compared with 18% who voted for Biden. The Edison exit polls estimate that 76% of White evangelicals voted for Trump, 24% for Biden."
There might be a technical difference between Evangelicals and the Republican Party, but there ain't much of one.
Since you missed it, get fucked christians.
The GOP is a criminal conspiracy to elevate their own figurehead above the reach of politically-actionable law and order. There is no practicable difference between the American Fascist and the partisan Republican. There has not been since the southern strategy. Politicized Christianity is a declaration of intent.
I actually want all kinds of different people, as diverse perspectives lead to improved outcomes for everyone.
I just want those people to also accept one another.
Plenty of religious people I know actually are kind and generous and accepting. Their religion isn’t a cudgel to be wielded to silence and command those who think differently, but rather a guide and solace for their own lives.
It’s when religion becomes a worship of the religion itself, a veneration of the rules and structure rather than of the beliefs, that it becomes a problem. And unfortunately that’s what we often see in a large portion of religious folks around the world throughout history. Where the religion becomes a tool to control populations, a path to power, a virtue to signal, rather than a living faith.
But I caution you against hatred of religion for its own sake. We must be intolerant of intolerance, but not intolerant of religion itself.
I stand by my comment.
Religious people can get fucked.
Plain and simple. I don’t care about your delusions or perspective because it’s based on false information.
How dare you insult their imaginary friend!
Ask me how many fucks I give. It rhymes with zero.
Nero? Antihero? Fearow?
Surely you don’t mean “zero,” rhyming a word with itself is just lazy. ;)
You are correct, that is lazy :)
I still give zero fucks about peoples delusions.
