Fuck religious people. I'm tired of religion dominating our lives and I ain't going to give some soft Christians a free pass. If you believe in stupid shit like Santa Claus or Jesus, you ought to be confronted about it. And if these liberal Christians are so wonderful, why aren't they doing more to stop the fundamentalist extremists?
