Some of you can be such jackasses at times. You've got you nose so far up the ass of the Democratic Party that if they tell you to love the religious left this week, you'll jump through flaming hoops to do it.
My anger is not directed at the religious left. I have no problem with people who work with the relgious left. I would be willing to work with them myself. But I'm not going to fucking adopt some kind of half ass position vis a vis religion. Religion fucking sucks. The facts support my attitude. I'm tired of religion and I'm tired of having to do activism against religious extremists. You can talk all you want about the nice progressive liberal religious types, but I want to be angry against religion. Fuck religion.
BTW, Pugliese, I think that anarchists did the right thing by burning down those churches during the Spanish Revolution. After centuries of religious oppression, the payback was way overdue.
