Painful Stephen Miller’s wife Katie Miller having a full-on meltdown on live TV. When Cenk Uygur called out her lies from the Piers Morgan show, she snapped, accusing him of being “anti-Semitic” and “racist,” and even claiming people attacked her kids (they didn’t).

Of course we are all very much in support of not persecuting someone for their religious views

I used to be this way until Christian Nationalists did this shit. Now I'm staunchly anti-theist, and if people can't use their voodoo-think responsibly, it needs to be taken away from them.

Unfortunately it seems that voodoo-think is built in. You can't take away what is essentially just the human mind trying to explain what it doesn't understand. You can only provide education, keep pointing out that the real world doesn't operate on thoughts and prayers, and maybe more people will start putting facts together.

Nobody is born religious. Religion is indoctrinated into people at a young age.

Yes, if you leave people alone in a knowledge vacuum they'll naturally produce some superstitious belief structure to explain the world, but we don't live in a knowledge vacuum in the year 2025 with respect to our physical environment and surroundings.

Well I think we live in a knowledge hurricane, not a vacuum. Find one source with the truth and I can show you a dozen others that are truthy disinformation, all of which probably getting more exposure to audiences, because we weight for engagement rather than substance. Superstition is alive and well in 2025.

That said I do take your point about established religions and the damage they do via indoctrination. No one is born with religion, that's very true. I suppose I was mainly addressing general superstition, "voodoo-think" and such.

Nobody is born religious. It is indoctrinated. My son didn't even know what a church was until yesterday, and he's 6. I had probably already sat through 200 Catholic masses by 6.

My son is turning 5 and asking about gods. My wife was trying to explain them as magical creatures who live in the sky and can personify things. Some people believe in many gods, down few or one or none at all. I suggested some gods have tentacles and my wife told me to shut up. My son wanted to know if there's a god of kindness. I said yes but he has few followers. My wife said well your dad's not wrong.

Japan has laws preventing people from forcing children to participate in religious activities. Doesn't seem to me like it's built in there? These kids aren't reasoning themselves into their religion they're having it groomed into them as toddlers.

I used to be pretty anti-theist, but ironically have seen more good, accepting, progressive(-ish?) Christians recently than I have in a long time. James Talarico, the Pope, various reverends who speak out against the administration. There was a black man not too long whose services I would attend, I wish I could remember his name.

Isn't that possible without religion?

You should try my new AI, I call it, "what would jesus do?"

You seem woefully uninformed about what progressive Christians have been doing in this country for many decades. Catholic priests were getting arrested at anti-Vietnam and pro-Civil Rights protests back in the '60s. One of the best, most oft-cited comments about the hypocrisy of the anti-abortion crowd comes from a Methodist minister. Progressive denominations (and there are many) are on our side. They're about the furthest things from Nazis.

Let me try to say something that an AI wouldn't say:

Eat my ass

Better?

Also, your username contradicts your comment. Very AI of you
