Whose responsibility is it to protect unhoused when it’s freezing outside? An Ohio pastor opened his church to the homeless and was charged by city.

    As much as I despise religion, the problems of our country are not caused by religion. They are caused by conservatives.

    Usually those conservatives are religious and wield their religion as a weapon, but the core problem has always been conservatives.

    When a religious person is not conservative, their non-conservative behavior is punished by the conservatives.

      While this is true, religion goes a long way in priming people to believe in total BS without questioning it or using critical thinking.

        This. By weaving their politics directly into religion, they get to benefit from the inherent suspension of disbelief that religion requires. No amount of proof or evidence will sway a conservative because the blind faith that all proof and evidence is fake is the key point of conservatism.

        Not really it’s mostly the “news” poisoning people. In this case Fox “news”.

        Our Chinese friends aren’t much into religion and they don’t seem to have much issue buying into the same propaganda.

      What are they conserving? Is it class hierarchy and capitalism? We’ll never know

      I understand where you’re coming from, but it’s not an either-or situation. Many conservatives hide behind religion to do heinous things. But there are plenty of religious people who don’t fall into this “conservative” definition and do heinous things as well.
