I'd recommend disconnecting the concept of organized religion from faith in your mind. Determine if you actually believe in a god separate from whether you think a particular hierarchical organized religion is the best representation for that god on earth. Leave the church if it doesn't work for you. Find something that does work for you.

This is good. It will drive more people away from Reddit.

I read it as creating a mandate for the government to reduce microplastics that get into the human body because those reduce fertility and sperm count. Except in these kinds of bills, there's always an unwritten addendum that says that the bill doesn't apply if a perceived obligation affects a company's bottom line

It's meant to endear this sycophant to Trump so he gets in line for a cabinet position when it comes out that he has ethical issues some journalist is about to expose.

Guys, guys, I don't know why you're upset. It's an ancient symbol for good luck. Completely benign! What do you have against good luck?!? It's like everyone whose genocidal white supremacist advocacy you disagree with is a Nazi or something...

"Guys, guys. Since Musk isn't from Germany, he's not a Nazi! It's just sparkling fascism! Totally different!"

Well, evil is a medical problem for other people, like those with profitably denied insurance claims.

You're not accounting for people who are restrained from being who they truly are or who they want to be by the perceived consequences until they're intoxicated and don't care about the consequences anymore. Bigots who might only say bigoted things in "safe" company unless they drink too much aren't virtuous people holding back intrusive thoughts. They are bigots who finally feel free to do so.

According to WHIO, who obtained an “investigative file” and communications within the office, Rodgers said he was prescribed sleep aids and that his ‘out of character’ actions were a “documented side effect.”

Ah, the classic Roseanne defense. Most people don't start spewing hate under the influence of medication if they don't normally use that kind of language when they're sober.

We draw, somehow, more votes from Trump.

Weird. Who would have thought batshit crazy would also like greedy, hateful, and stupid?

This isn't a smoking gun.
