4. There don't seem to be any good political or religious "ists"
By the time your movement gets an "ist", something seems to go very very wrong.

11. Not all feminists are good, in my observation.
The Society for Cutting Up Men for example.

Radical feminists who call for the culling of the male population.

Those who...you know, I'm not going to say anything. Apparently they don't exist and i'm seeing things since I'm part of the male elite(I wish..I wouldn't be living in a shithole apartment, lol!)

5. Christ was Jewish not Christian. He did not follow himself.
People followed him and were dubbed Christan after his death.
