    That’s the whole schtick with faith: it’s belief without evidence, by definition.

    Anyone prepared to have faith in anything is ripe for exploitation, by anyone.

    Churchies self-select for exploitation.

      You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

      I know Christians have done a lot of damage, and the evil ones are incredibly loud. It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

        Why would it be weird that some people from any group have a stupid idea? The average human is pretty stupid.

        … And the other 55%? The majority?

        And you’re taking a national ratio which is meaningless with a system like the electoral college.

        It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

        Look! We found one!
