    Christians fail to see the irony. How they view the satanic display at the capital building is how most of us view it when we see federal and state buildings displaying Christianity. It’s either all fine or none of it is. Don’t want to be angry? Then keep religion out of politics!

      All they see is something foreign, which therefore must be destroyed with extreme prejudice.

      Once you brainwash someone into believing in invisible sky wizards, you can mobilize them for any sort of hate and unreasonable ridiculousness.

      That’s why we had the dark ages

        Exactly. It’s a gigantic middle finger to anyone not in their little book club. The gaslighting they do about it - batting their eyes and saying, “but this country was founded on Judeo-xtian principles”, etc - is just icing on the cake for them.

    Sorry Catholics, but every time I see the depiction of a person tortured, bloodied, and nailed to a piece of wood, my automatic gut reaction is revulsion and disgust. First at the imagery itself, and then more deeply at the fact that otherwise sane people feel like this a completely normal thing to adorn their houses and bodies with. This is no different, people are just not accustomed to seeing Satanic imagery and symbolism in public, which is the whole fucking point.

    I believe the last time these people encountered such religious intolerance, they left Europe for the new world. Time for them to seek another new world…

    Republicans outraged because [insert person/thing] made conservatives see/hear [insignificant thing] they could manufacture outrage over.

    Repeat again tomorrow.

    Well, these are who’s in charge of the country now. Hope this is what the electorate wanted.
