    If only they were intelligent enough to recognize the protestant reformation literally happened because a bunch of people went “Hey! I don’t think we should just accept whatever some dude behind a pulpit has to say about our religion! We should just read the bible for ourselves and figure out what it says!”

    Fast forward and here we are, with a bunch of people who can’t even get their act together long enough to read their holy book just swallowing whatever some dude on stage tells them to believe and how to vote based on it.

      It sucks, it really does.

      Cults couldn’t exist at all if that wasn’t part of our nature though. “I’m an idiot. Someone has to know the way. This mystical lookin’ motherfucker HAS to know the answers. Oh, he said he does. I’m all in.”
