Ugh. Why oh why do these news stations choose idiots like that to represent my religion? WHY???!!!! *cries*

And yeah... I've given up on watching the major news stations. I just find myself either reading online news articles or watching The Daily Show/The Colbert Report.

Because it makes for good TV. Because it perpetuates the culture war. Because "nobody wants their problems solved, their dramas their distractions, their stories resolved, their messes cleaned up. Because what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown."

This is a Christian nation, though. Why? Because it's overwhelmingly Christian. Plain and simple.

"I also wish I knew who was out there perpetuating those rumors that atheists are some sort of evil, moral-less people who are out luring children away from Jesus with their evil ways."

^^ That would be me!!
