26. As a lifelong atheist/agnostic, I think what people are rejecting

Sat Dec 27, 2025, 12:30 PM

Yesterday

is ORGANIZED religion, and I can't say I blame them. Between the sexual abuse, the gimme gimme, and the anti-woman and anti-LGBTQI, it's just all so NEGATIVE. I'm not religious, but I've probably read more of the Bible than plenty of card carrying Christians. Jesus said NOTHING about abortion, homosexuality or anti-immigrant nonsense. I have a trans cousin who is a devout Christian and his church accepts him with loving arms, just like Jesus would have done.
