For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

The article has some funny quotes (and not so funny, sad ones), but here is an example of a funny one:
I guess they could save lives if you held them up as a shield when other kids shot at you? Also, someone was cheated on, lol.
Love to casually compare saving lives to saving marriages. Totally equivalent 👍
I went to catholic schools growing up that had the ten commandments displayed. I guarantee that they didn't save one life or marriage. They only did one thing, cause all of us to ask questions about wtf they were saying. Like, what does covet really mean and was it translated well? Or, tell people not to kill while offering up sacrifices is kind of weird? All of these can be interpreted so many ways, wtf?
Catholics looked at the commandment to not make graven images or worship them as a challenge.
Lol. And to not covet someone else's wife, all's fair for singles and/or minors.
Fun fact, Christians commit more crime than atheists. Save a life, deconvert
