I dont keep up with every state but think if there was attempt to outlaw Christianity there would be wailing in the streets. If Christianity thinks it is okay to make hate laws then they have lost their way and now need to see "the light".

One's a buisness, one's a belief. One is subject to regulation, one is protected.

Does he think people believe him? Does he even believe himself? That's just so ridiculous and out there.

J/K, though. Can't outlaw any religion, unfortunately.

But I think we should tax the fuck out of it.

how to live their private lives give all of Christianity a bad name. It makes me sick every time I hear about somebody misusing it to hate monger or for selfish political gain.
