Not quite my own "Leave Britney Alone" moment, but you get the idea. I'm an atheist myself, but I find religion really fascinating. It's strange the kinds of blind spots people have, though. It's somehow okay for other religious people to take a swipe at crazy religions like Mormonism, despite whatever crazy beliefs they themselves might hold.
I'm not normally one to actively hate on religion.
But people might be more inclined to leave them alone if they left others alone. In 2008, California had a bill to repeal same-sex marriage, proposition 8. 33% of donations (About $13 million) in support of it came from the Mormon church[1][2], a group not even based in the state. Coupled with that, the campaign put out downright insulting and lying videos[3][4].
And that shit passed.
So yeah...we're still bitter here.
