It's wild how all "Firmly Held Religious Beliefs" just involve being deliberately, intentionally shitty to other human beings.

@angiebaby Well, perhaps not all. But using the phrase itself does seem to be a big honking red flag, doesn't it?

Most of the nicer religious beliefs — feeding the poor, helping your neighbour — don't really need defending out loud, though.

@fishidwardrobe @angiebaby so why is there hate for my church telling people that God loves them as they are, at pride?

Look at what happened to Bishop Budde - I'm sure her beliefs are deeply held too. But it seems that this stuff does need defending.

Because nobody wants you inflicting your Bronze Age mythology written by goat herders who didn't even understand where the sun went at night on them in this, the 21st Century
