Why so gay?
The romantic Germans even have government-recommended marriage vows. Heavy metal band Rammstein bitches about it in a very listenable “Du hast”.
They’re the religious version of RINOs: Infiltrate and destroy from within.
Disconnecting the production of children from sex has confused the world.
Also, no one seems to know self-abuse leads to mental illness and insanity.
Is your last line sarcasm?
