I agree.

My wife and I are from New England. Her brother and his wife are from new England. Years ago they moved to the South and became fundamentalist christians. They had two sons. One rejected the religion and lives with his family in New England. The other son, college educated, married a religious fanatic and had six kids. He has a decent job but cannot afford to send six kids to college. He has been in the Army reserves and has served multiple times on active duty. Now his oldest son has recently joined.

We just found out that they are both being shipped to Korea. Having just watched episode 3 of Ken Burns Viet Nam War, I am wondering if there is a military build up underway that is secret. I hope not.

that really does separate it for me as well

or in other words "mob mentality"

>>>It is only organized religion that disgusts me.


and the mob mentality is what seems to drive the right wing morons

although there are some organized religions that do seem to focus on "good works" for all humanity instead of being the mouthpiece for hate-groups such as Fox news, the NRA, and american Nazis, etc

Mike Huckabee and Sean Hannity are the prodigal mouthpieces for american hate-speech, yet they claim moral authority... the hypocrisy is sickening

The imbecile Trump is of course totally not religious or spiritual in any regard

bur these are the only friends he has left, so he is on board with repeating the stupid rhetoric and racism of fundamentalist assholes like the #2 Moron in charge, Mike fucking Pence
