I don’t know about you, but I am exhausted by the double standard, the centuries’ old prejudice and bigotry against individuals who don’t meet the cookie cutter social template designed by a misguided and ignorant small group of self proclaimed xtian extremists.

My suggestion is that the lobby be eliminated completely. This means that if the corporate lobby is prevented from influencing the State and US Legislative bodies, so then, will the Religious/Church lobby be prohibited from the same influencing power.

Americans MUST start to focus on the source issues, and stop the knee jerk, reactive, layer by layer issues assault. When one layer is peeled, another grows to replace it.

We have a growing sickness within the American culture. It has always existed, but now the symptoms are raging out of control. The treatment for this illness is nothing less than teaching the people of this nation how to be human, how to grieve, how to emote and how to think.

Americans now number 300 million, and the generational myths and legends continue to be passed down, without any intervening correction. People must have the same basic information that consists of facts, from which they can then proceed to formulate opinions and diversity.

I believe it is time to criminalize all forms of religious extremism, as defined by the beliefs that include harming others.
