He cited, as supposed evidence, the decline of national church attendance and the rise of LGBTQ youth — the fact, Johnson lamented, that “one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight.”

He's so mad he's going to continue to do nothing at all.

I totally agree wholeheartedly, Mr. Johns... oh, wait, you're not talking about yourselves? Never mind.

Anyone else remember when separation of church and state was a thing?

[-] DarkGamer@kbin.social 4 points 11 months ago

Religious people breaking this separation is really stupid for them too, because they forget how many other religions exist in the world

With the biggest hedonists on earth hiding behind pulpits in churches, legislatures and boardrooms, of course he's going after people practicing actual love and intimacy with others.

Well if god created them all, they can't be mistakes, right? Maybe the republican lawmakers are the ones who have strayed. Love your naighbour and all that?

"one-in-four high school students identifies as something other than straight"

He knows that because he has their porn collection sent directly to his phone.

I'd like to know where he got these "facts" because I know no such study with any validity exists. Did he just ask 4 high school students and call it an undeniable truth? That sounds like the kind of logic I'm used to from people like this.

[-] DreBeast@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Just you, Mike. Just you

But then again, there is probably no God so whatever.
