    This would require the sky fairy to be real. Your culture is on its way to the landfill. All you have are two bit con artist snake oil salesmen like Kenneth Copeland, filling their pockets. Morons. Scum. The death rattle of a bygone era, relegated to the dustbin of history. You should stop fighting progress, they’ll be the ones your children will grow to love.

      Kill in the name of God and your victim will be just as dead as if you killed for secular reasons.

      Your culture is on its way to the landfill.

      Thinkers have been making this claim since the first Enlightenment, back in 1685. But people are as prone to reading messages in their tea leaves now as they were a millennium ago. I don’t see any evidence to conclude that modern day Satanic Panics are less likely than they were under Reagan. And given the number of TV ghost hunters and TikTok psychics and QAnon Shamen I see popping up in my social media feeds, we’re no less likely to kick off another Salem style witch hunt than we were 300 years ago.

      You should stop fighting progress

      My guy, I need to see some progress before I worry about fighting it.
