- Why you left your religion.
- There are many reasons. Mainly, children are brainwashed beginning at a very young and impressionable age to believe in Christianity and that Jesus is the way. They are never presented with an opportunity to think for themselves and apply reason to what they believe.

1. Should 'under God' be removed from the Pledge of Allegiance?
2. Should creationism be taught in public schools?
Both answers should include why or why not, not simply yes or no.
Here are some of the answers I…

What a wonderful way to tell WOMEN that if you're bangin' dudes before marriage, then you're knockin' boots with a crazed lunatic set on wiping all Jews off of the face of the map. With syphilis. Stay pure ladies.
