California is currently one of only three states in the country — alongside Mississippi and New Mexico — that sets no minimum age at all for marriage, allowing a child of any age to be legally wed as long as a parent or guardian signs off. A bill designed to close that loophole for good just cleared a major hurdle in Sacramento, passing the state Senate on a unanimous 38-0 vote this past Wednesday.
I don’t know if you actually understand the definitions of the words you’re using. Nothing I said was self-righteous. I’m not victimizing myself, nor am I playing the victim. I haven’t claimed that anyone in this situation is a victim, either. I also haven’t made any claims about being right or wrong, so I’m not sure what, exactly, you’re implying I need to be “correct” about in the first place.
Dude, are you actually reading what I’m saying? Did you miss the part where I explicitly said I’m an human secularist and anti-theist? I stand against organized religion.
And once again, you’re making sweeping statements about Christians as a whole, as though every single Christian on the planet is somehow evil simply because they participate in an organized religion. That’s an indefensible declarative statement. Can you actually prove to me that all Christians are evil? And no, you can’t just point to terrible things Christianity has done throughout history and use that as evidence. Christianity as an organized religion, and what you’re primarily referring to, which is more accurately Catholicism in many historical contexts, is not synonymous with every modern Christian or every Protestant denomination.
I don’t blindly hate. I have very concrete reasons for opposing organized religion. Organized religion can indoctrinate children, intentionally muddy or distort the truth to serve political interests, perpetually seek more money and influence, manipulate politics to advance its own agenda, and, at its extreme, cause profound harm and even death.
But what I don’t do is make idiotic, sweeping declarative statements like, “Christians are grooming their children to give them to pedophiles.” That’s ridiculous. Nobody is doing that as some universal Christian practice. There may have been isolated cases where something remotely resembling that happened, and those individuals should have been prosecuted for what they did. But you don’t get to take isolated criminal acts and pretend they represent every Christian on the planet.
That’s the distinction I’m making: I can have a strong, principled opposition to organized religion without blindly assigning the worst possible motives or behavior to every individual who happens to be religious.
All your BS and you still cosplay as an “antitheist”. Lol sure.
Keep supporting pedophiles. People are sick of the lies
Lol. Yeah. It’s funny that you have to invent a position for me to argue against it because there is literally nothing in what I wrote that you can actually argue against.
You have to manufacture a justification for your hatred, which ultimately makes you no better than the very thing you claim to dislike.
You genuinely cannot fathom that I can stand opposed to the same thing you do without blindly hating it.
That’s pretty fucking pitiful.
Also, once again, I stand against any and all abuse, sexual, physical, or mental. I do not support MAGA, religious fundamentalism, or right-wing extremism.
Also also, it is beyond amusing that I can explicitly say I don’t support these things, and yet you keep insisting that I do. That’s literally the only way you seem capable of having a conversation with me. You have a very specific thing you want to say, and apparently nothing I actually say matters because you’ll just keep attributing that position to me anyway.
You have to be stupid.
