“Would love for it to be real, but like horoscopes, gives me something to hope for, and the way it drives liberals batty is a bonus for me.”
I get that.
I like the world to be full of ideas and beliefs - even many that I don’t share - because that is what happens when people can think and speak freely.
For example, I would give my life to protect religious freedom even though I’m not religious.
Religious freedom is simply a subset of freedom of thought - two people can have completely different thoughts or beliefs, and yet their desire to freely hold those beliefs and think those thoughts - is something they have in common.
I am glad I have religious people around me because they will fight for freedom of thought and freedom of speech. I often disagree with the priests, but then I disagree with scientists too.
If you ask me, neither religion nor science has answered any of the really profound questions to my satisfaction: where did we come from? Why are we here? What happens after we die?
They all have theories but no proof. The world is better off with one side always challenging the other.
yes. life is better for me to speak truth to power, and standing up for the principles this country was founded on is worth my life. i am blessed to know where we came from and where i am going after life here, so standing up to those who will oppress others is why i am here.
be safe and secure knowing there are more out here like you than the other side would like you to know.
