That was a good thing. I don't want my children brainwashed

That was good too. Practice your superstitions at home. I
don't want my kids exposed to this stuff.

You didn't say ok. You fought it tooth and nail and lost.

On the other hand, if children are disrespectful of their
parents, we should stone them to death as is instructed in
the Bible.

No stranger better beat my child. I'd break their arms.

That someone is the feminists. It's a huge mistake. It never
should have happened, and should be changed. Parents are the
ones ultimately responsible for the well being of their children.
If young girls are unfortunate enough to be born into a family
of religious anti abortionists... so it goes.

That IS a great idea.

Not that important.

How come you religionists have so many problems with sex?

Because they are copying the success of the most popular

I agree with you here.

So if you don't like it, get rid of the capitalist system
that drives the whole scummy thing.

God has nothing to do with it. It's money. It's the system
that says everything is permissible if you make a profit.
There is no god, but there is such a system.

They are both full of nonsense.

I don't want to go to heaven. Where exactly is heaven anyway?

So are you saying... do be like Satan and believe in god, or
don't be like Satan and don't believe in god? What the hell
are you talking about anyway?

Because jokes are funny and beneficial, while messages about
the lord are tedious nonsense.

Excellent!

They would think that I lost my mind. And they'd be right.

You can worry about whatever you like. Who gives a shit?

Always.

It doesn't. It's only low quality religious propaganda.

I'd rather send it back to you so you can see some feedback.
