I live in a state that’s one big (well it used to be) purity culture - Utah. The idea that people are “saints” and kids totally innocent and heaven will be a white-washed temple without sin or alcohol - even worse, with no gambling. I’m fine if these people want to live in a sanitized “paradise” made of unicorn farts and sunshine (unicorn farts are made of white cotton candy, so - no problem there). To me, that’s my literal definition of being in hell, having to spend an eternity with these white nationalist “Saintly” morons.
On the bright side, the trend towards Christianity being the minority will come in probably the next 50 years (hopefully the threshold for irrelevance is sooner). If we can hold out, we’ll get to see them lose their place of power.
I’ll be long gone by then, but I do hope that trend continues. Society needs to break free of the dark ages once and for all and stop living in fear of human progress.

I wish it would splinter and die faster.
We really need to kick GOP ass come the 2024 election, there’s no ifs or buts about it. They’re stumbling right now and so is Trump, no fucking mercy.
The fascists would do no less to us.
