Wait for it…
“The freedom, guaranteed by the constitution, to practice our “sincerely held religious beliefs”, which dictate that we must beat the living shit out of apostates [and maybe even kill 'em], is being taken away. We’re being oppressed.”

They’re all cults. The only difference is the size.

Religion = Root of all Evil
What can you say about people who BELIEVE in Zombie-Magician-Jesus and his Invisible Sky-God Father who impregnated a Virgin, Demanded the Genocide of Non-Believer Cannanites, Destroyed EVERYTHING when he fucked up creating Humanity the first time around after expelling the only two people on earth from paradise because they ate an apple, had two sons, yet somehow got them married to women who magically appeared out of nowhere, and watches, and knows, EVERYTHING. He also had the power to create the ENTIRE UNIVERSE but just can’t seem to ever keep the Gays from having sex nor can he ever have enough MONEY?
Fuck that. As the song says: “I will choose Free Will.”

It’s just a matter of where you draw the line. All religions are cults.
Do you participants have ANY idea how you look from the outside?

Exactly. I’ve got my own moral compass to steer by.
Been to church lately? Stand up, sit down, sing this, chant this back to me, eat this wafer for it is literally the flesh of our 2000 years dead deity/prophet/it’scomplicated.
The only difference between a religion and a cult is the number of followers you have.

Is there no chance of getting a murder conviction?
Regardless, everybody in the church that night needs to be questioned and locked up of they did nothing to stop this. And the church should be shut down.

Why are we here? Because we’re here, Roll the Bones.
Sure they know. Like I heard someone say once — “You know how Hinduism looks like to you as a Chirstian? All religions look like that to me.”
When they are the outsiders looking at other people’s religions they get it, but when it comes to their own, not so much.

Wonder if Mike Huckabee’s gonna rant about their freedom of religion…?
Why isn’t this group considered what it really is - a terrorist organization? Or do you have to be Muslim before you can be a terrorist?
Probably not. The definition of “murder” requires the presence of intent to kill. Without that intent, the crime by definition is either manslaughter or negligent homicide.
In your head is the answer, let it guide you along. Let your heart be the anchor, and the beat of your own song.
