I'm just afraid of religious extremists. I think it's sad that in 2015 I'm worried about the crazy god-deluded people getting too much power when it should be about economics, foreign policy, etc.
"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them." Barry Goldwater (R)
They truly are crazy, and they truly are dangerous. I don't mean to sound like I wear a tinfoil hat, but I honestly believe that they are capable of doing some hitler-ish shit.
i'm not afraid of them in that sense, what i'm "afraid" of is essentially a christian version of sharia law, which seems to be what the republican party wants
You're right. They only care about their religion. They don't understand what makes america better than the theocracies of the middle east. And that's exactly what they want to turn us into. lol and they actually accuse gays of having an agenda.
It really sucks because I believe it's beneficial to have a two-party system, but if these religious nutjobs have hi-jacked one of the parties then all those benefits are gone.

Well, obviously you're just siding with a bunch of sexual deviants and degenerates who want to want to take away any sense of order and dignity from society.
yeah honestly I feel like if the people in the highest command for this nation were religious, specifically christian or buddhist, we would see some amazing changes for this country. We'd stop fighting other non-religious country's wars, we'd focus more on getting rid of the terror on our own land, and we would see a much higher push to a better education.
of course by better education I mean mandatory religious studies in schools, for the education that REALLY matters; the education of awareness of God. I think it would still be good to teach children about things like evolution, but make it clear that the theory of evolution is what is taught in the horrible 3rd world countries of the east, to make them aware of other's beliefs, no matter how inane they seem.
I just woke up after sleeping for 11 hours, without having woken up at all in between. I'm slightly disoriented right now, and thinking about heading down to Panda Express for some wake-up spicey chineese food. good idea y/n
Idunno, it's kinda weird. If I only get like 5-7 hours of sleep, if I try to eat anything after waking up I feel MISERABLE and sick. But if I oversleep really hard, I feel sick and disoriented until I just stuff myself.
